Foliage Knit Rectangle

This is called Foliage. It's a stitch pattern that can be found in the book below. It's the best stitch book I've ever bought. The instructional PDF for this 6 x 9 inch pattern can be DOWNLOADED HERE. If you want to see what's in it you can see it below.

It only uses knit and purls and you can adapt this stitch pattern to pretty much anything. I used a 10.5 needle and casted on 24. It call for a multiple of 6 stitches. The book below is where I got the stitch pattern.
