I found this beautiful free knitting pullover pattern on Ravelry.

This little Fair Isle pullover is chock full of a kid’s favorite creatures. Inspired by the children’s song “The Little White Duck,” you’ll find ducks, frogs, bugs, and snakes floating in the water, separated by rows of lily pads. The palette is sophisticated Rowan colors, and the sweater is finished with special lily pad elbow patches and “pond ripple” cuffs for maximum cuteness. The fit is loose and comfy, with a tunic style for easy on and off, and a stretchy funnel neck. Featuring a yarn that’s a blend of wool and cotton, it’s the perfect layer for spring weather.

Here’s a silly little hint for working with a pattern repeat, such as in lace knitting. I used this tool when I was knitting my Little Leaf Shawlette.

What amazing knitting stitch! I found it on Pinterest.

It’s time to work up a stitch on our looms that doesn’t take too much thinking or tricky finger-work to accomplish.  This stitch pattern is just the ticket!  It is a simple 8 row repeat, and once you get the hang of them, they can be worked entirely from memory.  The long alternating dashes resemble a nice rustic weave and result in a relatively thick and sturdy panel.  It would be a perfect stitch for a cowl or scarf or even an entire blanket!
