Pip stitch

[beyondallmeasure]

I have a pattern (I can't figure out where I saved it on my hard drive right nowhttp://www.crochetville.org/forum/images/smilies/scratchhead.gif ) that calls for a pip stitch. It does not include the instructions, but rather a link to directions and the link is broken. It is driving me crazy that I don't know the stitch. I even googled it and got a lot of stuff other than crocheting! Has any one ever heard of this stitch? A link with instructions or a description of how it is done would be great.

That's a new one on me - hope someone can clarify it for you - it sounds real interesting!

call me crazy but could it be referring to a popcorn stitch?

Could it be a picot in picot? Just throwing that out there......

I vote for something picot related, too.

 

Either as an abbreviation, or b/c a "pip" is an orange seed, and a picot looks kind of like an orange seed.

 

I found this at ebay: Annie's Special Stitch Place Settings (with Zigzag Pip Stitch)

Does anyone have this book? I am not interested in the patterns, just the stitch. would it be a infringement to share the stitch instructions? I thought about buying the book, but it would be $5 for patterns I would never use... just to satisfy my curiosity about a stitch. Plus I avoid Ebay!

I have found a bunch of references of the Pip stitch as a KNIT stitch, and found instructions. Maybe you could work with these instructions and work out something that would work? Sorry, I don't speak knit .

 

Pip stitch (work over 4 sts. + 3):

Row 1 and row 3: purled stitch.

Row 2: * p3 tog., in the next st. k1, p1 and k1 *, rep. from * to *, p3 tog.

Row 4: * in the same base st. p1, k1 and p1; p3 tog. *, rep. from * to *, in the same base st. p1, k1 and p1

Row 5: rep. from row 1.

I looked thru all my books and online, and I don't see a reference to a "pip" stitch anywhere. This is a new one to me. I hope you it.
