Garter Tab Cast On
This is a cast-on which can be used for shawls which are worked from the top down. It consists of a few stitches knitted into a rectangle, and then picking up stitches from a side and the cast-on row of the rectangle.
Chevrons
This is a pattern on 2 (mod 14 stitches) over two rows, and can be worked in garter or stockinette stitch. For example, row 1 is purl and row two is knit 1, then (increase 1 on/around next stitch), then knit 4, [(decrease 2 over the next 4 stitches) knit 4, (increase 2 over the next 2 stitches), knit 4] repeating the stitches in [] until the last two stitches which are (increase 1 over last but one stitch), knit 1.
For a sample pattern and video see The Weekly Stitch.
This is my first attempt.
