Swag Stitch

Swag Stitch as instructed in Knit Stitch Guide by Rita Weiss

At first I thought this stitch was sort of boring. The long loose pieces of yarn in front are slipped stitches with the working yarn in front, offset by two purls on each side. However, after two rounds I think this is actually a really pretty pattern. I will say that the picture in the book is much nicer than what I did — it's slightly more slanted than my straighter lines. I'm also fairly certain that I knit a scarf in this stitch (or something similar) way back when I was new to knitting.
