Hunter's Stitch

 

Depending on how you plan to use this stitch, you may want to add a border to help keep the fabric flat; since the sides are stocking stitch, there is curling.  Also, knit a row before beginning the stitch pattern if you are aren't incorporating this stitch into a project where there are already stitches in the row below to work into.  Since you are working into the stitch below right from the first row, you need a stitch to work into.

Multiple of 11 + 4

Row 1 (rs): *p4, (k1b, p1)x3, k1b; rep from *, end p4

Row 2: k4 *p1, (k1b, p1)x3, k4; rep from *

Repeat these two rows for the pattern.
