Just like with feather and fan you can add a purl ridge into old shale. This can add texture to your knit piece and can make the knitted fabric look very different. This segment is short, but if you want more info on how purl ridges change the look of a knitted fabric check out my posts on Feather and Fan II and III. A lot of the same principals apply to Old Shale; the stitch pattern is exactly the same as feather and fan you are only changing the method of increasing.
Remember all our feather and fan and old shale stitch patterns are written for a multiple of 18 stitches.

Hi! Thanks for all those nice tutorials. However, I would like to know what kind of increase you use when you say "M1". There are so many ways to do this. Which one you sue in particular ?
