chain knit stitch pattern

Knit chain stitch pattern:

Cast on a multiple of 2 sts plus 2 selvage stitches.

Row 1: sel s, *p1, slip the next stitch holding working yarn in front – repeat from *, sel s.

Row 2: sel s, *k1, slip the next stitch holding working yarn in back – repeat from *, sel s.

Row 3: sel s, knit all stitches, sel s.

Row 4: sel s, purl all stitches, sel s.

You can stop at this point and start repeating the pattern from the Row1. I like when there is a bigger distance between chains, that is why I knit also Rows 5-6.

Row 5: sel s, knit all stitches, sel s.

Row 6: sel s, purl all stitches, sel s.

Repeat Rows 1-6 to form pattern.
