Butterfly Stitch

Πρόκειται για μία πολύ εντυπωσιακή πλέξη, κατάλληλη όχι μόνο για το σύνολο του πλεκτού αλλά και για σκουφάκια, κασκόλ, εσάρπες και λοιπά αξεσουάρ. Βρήκα πολύ καλές οδηγίες στη διεύθυνση http://knitting.about.com/od/stitchglossary/g/butterfly.htm και σας τις μεταφέρω εδώ. Καλή επιτυχία.
