Netting Stitch

 

Sample knit with fingering weight yarn, US 6 needles

Depending on how you plan to use the stitch, you may want to consider adding extra stitches to neaten up the edges.

Stitches are slipped knitwise.


Multiple of 4+5

Row 1 (rs): *k1, yo, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yo*; rep from *, end k1

Rows 2 and 4: purl all stitches

Row 3: k2tog, yo, *k1, yo, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yo; rep from * to last 3 stitches, end k1, yo, sl 1, k1, psso

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.

Happy Knitting!

Vertical Eyelets



This is a quick and easy stitch that looks lovely in just about any weight yarn.  The above samples were knit in worsted (top) and fingering (bottom).

Since this is a stocking stitch based pattern, there will be some curling to your fabric.  Depending on how you plan to use the stitch, you may want to consider adding a border, like Garter Stitch as I have done in the top sample.  Seed Stitch would also work well.  A border will help prevent curling of the fabric.

Multiple of 5 + 3

Row 1 (RS): p3 *p2tog, yo, p3
Rows 2 and 4: knit
Row 3: p3 *yo, p2tog, p3

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.

Happy Knitting!

Italian Chain Ribbing

front

back

For my sample, I used a fingering/sock weight yarn on US size 7 needles

Multiple of 6 + 2

Row 1 (WS): k2 *p4, k2
Row 2: p2 *k2tog, yo twice, ssk, p2
Row 3: k2 *p1, p first yo, p-tbl of second yo, p1, k2
Row 4: p2 *yo, ssk, k2tog, yo, p2

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.  Both the front and back of this stitch is attractive, making it good for scarves or other items where the back will be seen.  You may also want to consider adding an extra stitch or two or a border to neaten up the edges, depending on how you use the stitch.

Happy Knitting!

Fluted Fabric Stitch

Sample was knit with my own yarn on US Size 6 Knitters Pride Dreamz needles
Multiple of 4 + 1

Row 1: (RS) p1 *k1, sl 1 wyif, k1, p1
Row 2: k1, *sl 1 wyib, p1, sl 1 wyib, k1

Repeat these two rows for the pattern.  Even though Row 1 is the 'right' side, this stitch creates a fabric that is equally nice on both sides.  It is hard to see in the video, but there is a little bit of a wave to the fabric that is nice.

Happy Knitting!
