Knit Diagonal Loops Stitch Pattern & Tutorial

Hi friends! I've had this pattern ready but couldn't find the source of the stitch or remember the name of the stitch!

It was from a book I had left in our 5th-wheel travel trailer. Now that I have a name to the stitch, I'm ready to share it with you!

You can find the pdf pattern (currently) for free here:
