Trellis stitch is my new farouvite pattern. Last week, I talked about it when I showed my gauge with Maille namie is Yvette yarn. As the plaid I’m knitting is not transportable, I wanted to start a new knit project, easier to travel with. I’m using again the treillis stitch but with a thiner yarn.

My opinion on Drops Air
As I said last time with the gauge in plain knitting, I love Drops Air it’s very enjoyable to knit it and it’s quick to knit as it is recommended to knit with 5 mm needles. Here I used 6 mm needle but the result is still nice.
