Use those scraps!

I think the self patterning yarn in this stitch is reminiscent of a old time braided rug. It's reversible! This can also be made into a chair seat cover, a table runner, or use your imagination for something else!

Do these projects as you have scraps available or between projects, a little at a time, by taking off on scrap yarn between knitting times.
