Now, take your left needle point and push it through the front of the first stitch on the right needle. Using the left needle, lift this stitch over the top of the second stitch and let it drop off the end of the right needle. Knit one more stitch as normal. Repeat steps 2–4 until you have knit all the stitches on the left needle. Cut the yarn, leaving a 15cm or so tail, slip the final stitch off the needle and feed the tail through the loop, pulling gently. 5 Stitches Everyone Should Know (Young’un to Granny) Garter Stitch Possibly the easiest stitch out there, garter stitch consists of row after row of knitted stitches.

Lastly, if you haven’t done so already, we would recommend you visit a yarn fair or exhibition, which are held fairly regularly throughout the year in many different countries. It is such a luxury for us to visit a fair every now and again, where we always find the most beautiful, ‘under-the-radar’ yarns and very often get to meet the spinners and dyers ourselves. It’s a real treat – give it a go. Our favourite UK fairs are listed here, however with the increase in popularity that the craft of hand knitting has seen over the past decade, there are bound to be additions to this list every year.

If you’re after reverse stocking stitch, simply start with the purl row so that the bumpy side becomes the ‘right side’. Rib Stitch This is another common stitch that you’ve probably seen at the bottom of your jumpers and the top of your socks. Rib stitch creates a stripy looking fabric that stretches a great deal when pulled from either side. This makes it perfect for openings in garments that need to stretch when being pulled on but retract once in place. GRANNY’S PURL OF WISDOM Stocking stitch fabric has a horrid tendency to curl at the edges, so if you’re planning on knitting a flat item like a scarf using this stitch, try knitting 3–5 stitches of another stitch, such as garter or moss at the start and end of each row.
