If you are a fan of both, gardening and knitting, then this stitch was designed with you in mind. Its symmetrical vertical lines remind me rows of cherry trees in an orchard we used to hang out as kids. Sweet memories, a bit of yarn and a pair of needles, what else do you need to create your next cute scarf. Lets learn how to knit an orchard stitch!
