The Hurdle Knit Stitch Pattern.
Hi, Guys! I'm Kristen and thank you for joining me
here at Studio Knit where today we are going to knit up this Hurdle knit stitch
pattern it resembles little hurdles like what you jump in track class or what
horses jump over it knits up with a really thick texture and easily lies
perfectly flat it's a 4 row repeat and it's actually a combination
we do 2 rows in the Garter stitch and 2 rows of the 1x1 rib stitch to create
the Hurdle stitch it's an easy level project perfect for all of you who
completed my ABSOLUTE BEGINNER KNITTING SERIES and we are just using knits and purls.
it is a reversible pattern meaning that both the front and the back
side of your work the right and wrong are totally identical
and for our materials we are going to be using yarn you can use any size you'd
like appropriately sized knitting needles of course you want to have
scissors and a tapestry needle on hand if you'd like to know the exact
materials I'm using this video I will link to those in the description for you
and if you like this pattern and what I do on my channel please LIKE IT UP,

my website I have a link in the description below the pattern is written
out there for you totally for free I've also included a knitting chart so if
you'd like to start learning how to read charts then these simple patterns are a
great way to start doing that this pattern is also included in my
KNIT STITCH PATTERN BOOK available for purchase over on Etsy it's a
downloadable PDF that you can print out you also can have it saved on any mobile
device or desktop as well so let's and knit it up we begin with our beloved
Slip Knot and then we cast on in multiples of two I'm using the
longtail cast on method and you just cast on two-by-two until
you have the number of stitches that you'd like on your needle for your
project I have a total of 24 here and Row 1
it's simply knitting all the way down the row so if you have ever done the
garter stitch that's where you knit every single stitch these first two rows
are actually the Garter stitch so Row one is just knitting all the way down
the row and then when we get to road two we're doing the exact same thing we are
just doing the knit stitch all the way down the row and these two rows of knit
stitch are just like the Garter stitch so it's really simple it doesn't get
much more simple than this so now let's switch it up on Row three we're knitting
one and purling one and you'll see those little asterisks that means we repeat so
here's knit one and then we bring our yarn to the front because we are purling
one and since this pattern is between those asterisks we take our yarn to the
back and we knit one that's K one again and bring our yarn to the front and that
is purl one and we continue this pattern of Row three all the way down the row
and on row four we're doing the exact same thing so if you have ever done the
one by one rib stitch that's what we're actually doing here on rows three and
four so as you can see the hurdal stitch is a combination of the Garter and the
one-by-one knit stitch patterns and once you're
done with Row 4 you start it up again on Row 1 and knit up until your piece is
the length you desire I hope you are inspired to give this hurdle knit stitch
pattern a try here's a video that I think you'll
