The Flag Knit Stitch Pattern. Hi Guys, I'm Kristen and thank you for joining me
here on Studio Knit where we are knitting up this Flag Knit Stitch Pattern
It has a beautiful depth of texture I've also seen this flag stitch
called either the Pennant stitch or the Triangle stitch as well and it's an easy
level project because all you have to do is knit and purl so it's perfect for all
of you who have completed my Absolute Beginner Knitting Series so let's take a
close look at how it knits up we have these vertical lines of stockinette
right here and then we have these little boxes right here with a little flag
stitch so it's a triangle and half of it right here is the Garter stitch and the
other half is the Stockinette stitch and this is a reversible stitch so you'll
see here the right side or the front side if you flip it over the wrong side
looks totally identical so it's reversible making it perfect for
scarves or blankets. For our materials you can use any yarn or knitting needle
size that you'd like I'm using bulky weight yarn with number 10 knitting
needles here of course you'll want to have some scissors and a tapestry needle
on hand. For the pattern I have the written pattern totally for free for you
over on my website and I have a link to that down in the description below.
I also have a printable pdf in my Knit Stitch Pattern Book and that is
available for immediate download over on Etsy. So go check that out if you're
interested in owning all of these knit stitch patterns there's over 24 of them
in the book right now. And a great way to save this for later is to PIN it to
Pinterest. And if you like this pattern do me a
favor like up this video it really helps me out. So let's jump right into it and
knit it up. To begin, our beloved slip knot starts us off as always and we are going
to be casting on I'm using the long tail cast on method. Super simple I have all
the techniques linked down below for you as well. And we're casting on multiples
of seven plus one. So what that means is you start with seven and you keep
casting on until you have the width that you desire I have four sets of seven and
then plus one there's just this last little knit stitch you just do one more
when you're done with your series of seven and then we are ready to knit this up.
So beginning on Row 1 and you'll see I have the pattern written out for
you over on the left so k1 that means a knit one and we're just knitting one
stitch and I need to get that little yarn tail to stay down and I'm going to
bring my yarn to the front because we're purling one. Now you'll see there's the
asterisks that means we're repeating between the asterisks
so we purl one right here we're going to bring it back around to the back and
then we're going to knit six and I'm just going to speed this up so you don't
have to sit around watching me knit every single stitch this is just an
overview so you have a really good sense of how this knits up when you're ready
to cast it on your needles as well. And just repeat the pattern between the
asterisks all the way down the row. Let's take a look at how it's shaping up you
can't really see the pattern quite yet. Okay row 2 it begins with asterisks so
that means that P5 were purling five stitches right here and again I'll speed
it up just a little bit for us and then we're going to be knitting two and we
continue between asterisks P5 K2 which is Purl five and Knit two all the way
down the row until we get to the very end and that is just purling one last stitch.
And let's see at shaping up Row 3. Again it's just knitting one and then
we're doing the pattern repeat between those asterisks and this time around
it's going to be purling three stitches and then knitting four stitches and of
course continuing this pattern all the way down the row and moving on to
Row 4 we are purling three stitches and knitting four stitches between those
asterisks right there and we just repeat that pattern all the way down the row
finishing with one purl stitch so now we definitely can see the pattern starting
to form and just two more rows guys okay so Row 5 is Knitting 1 and then we're
Purling 5 stitches
and Knitting 2
and then moving along to row six we begin with one purl stitch and then the
repeat begins between those Asterix there so it is K6 P1 so we're just
knitting 6 stitches and purling 1 and we're continuing that all the way to the
end of our row
And now it's time to admire our work and the pattern definitely is showing the
depth and the triangles the Stockinette the Garter I just love how it all works
together right here it's just so pretty and of course you continue knitting
these six rows until your piece is the length that you desire. I hope you are
inspired to try this Flag Knit Stitch Pattern. Thanks again so much for
watching and I will see you next time, Guys. Bye!
