When I first tried this stitch, I thought it would be fun to make a whole afghan with big chunky yarn and oversized needles. But after a few scarves, I realized those giant loops from big needles can snag on everything! Iāve learned to keep this one for smaller projectsāit's much better behaved. I knit this on size six needles and havenāt had a single snagging issue. Itās such a fun, satisfying texture without any of the fuss.
