Russian Stitch 1+2+1 (Kitee Stitch)


In Finland this stitch type (RS 1+2+1) has been used at least in Kitee (a sample in NBA ethnology collection).
 

In the book Gamla textila tekniker i ull it is mentioned that for Dalby Stitch, you can pick up an additional loop behind the thumb, but it is not specified whether they mean RS 1+2+1 (Kitee Stitch) or RS 1+1+2 (Oulu Stitch). Based on another book, Vinterblomster, I would say, that they mean RS 1+1+2 (Oulu Stitch). But in both of those two books it is described quite vaguely.
