How to knit the lattice stitch

Tomorrow I'll be releasing my first pattern collection, Jersey Shore Knits, and in it there's a super airy openwork scarf inspired by the boardwalk.

It's something worth learning for summer and winter use, so I've put together a series of videos to show how it works.

You can use the stitch without the special cast on and bind off as well, so give it a go.
