The Seersucker knit stitch pattern. Hi, I'm Kristen and welcome back to my
channel STUDIO KNIT. Today's seersucker stitch
creates textured rows of these puckered diamond shapes edged with stockinette
ridges if you're excited to admit up the seersucker stitch please like up this
video it really helps me out we'll be knitting these eight rows
together shortly but I also want to let you know the written pattern is
available for free over on my website as well as in my new knit stitch pattern
book there's a printed version there's also a digital PDF and the seersucker
stitch is found on pages 41 and 42 we are knitting the flat version today I
also have instructions for knitting it in the round and you'll see this little
symbol right here it means that it's not a reversible pattern so the front the
right side of our work shows the seersucker design and then if we flip it
to the back which is called the wrong side of our work you'll see that it
looks different it's still really pretty but it's not identical so that means
it's not a reversible design I also have the chart written out for you
so if you're new to charts this is a great way to familiarize yourself with
those symbols and how simple knitting charts work and for your materials you
can use any yarn of your choice with appropriately sized knitting needles of
course you also want to have a little bit of scissors on hand and a tapestry
needle so let's knit it up to begin we are casting on in multiples of four plus
one so that means we cast on four stitches and then you continue casting
on and the plaza for until you have as many
stitches as you would like on your needle and then at the end it's just one
last little stitch right there on the end and you'll see how we use him or her
I would throw out the pattern so we're beginning row one here with mid to p1
knit one in between those little asterisks those little stars and that
means that we're repeating this pattern of four stitches so right here is the p1
and then we're finishing this repeat with knit one and we are going to
continue knitting these four stitches until we get to the end of our row so
let's finish it up here two knit stitches and then we bring our yarn to
the front to do that purl stitch and then we have the one knit stitch at
the end of our repeat right there between the asterisks and you'll see
after the asterisks there's just one Kavon that is a knit one and so this
little stitch right here gets knitted at the very end of Row one alright pretty
simple so let's start with Row two we're beginning with purl one and we have our
yarn in the front we're purling one stitch and now we're
beginning a repeat of those four stitches between the asterisks so that
is a p1 and then we bring our yarn to the back for knitting one bringing our
yarn whoops to the front let's scooch our stitches and we'll do two purl
stitches right here and we repeat those four stitches to the end of the row now
Row three this is knit one and purl one again it's between the asterisks so that
means we are repeating knit one purl one knit one purl one all the way down until
we get to the very end of Row three if you've done the seed stitch before or
the 1x1 rib stitch this is very familiar to you and you get all the way to the
end of Row three and the last stitch you have is simply knitting one stitch okay
so now Row 4 we're beginning with purl one
so our yarn is in the front we purl that one stitch and then we just finish our
row with the k1 p1 all the way down the row if knitting is new to you these k 1p
ones will definitely give you a lot of knit and purl experience ok row five
we begin with purl one so our yarn is in the front or purling one stitch and
between the asterisks we have four stitches and it's purl one and then knit
three so we are knitting these three stitches right here and we continue this
pattern of p1k 3 purl one knit three all the way down the row and then there's
that one little stitch of ours that we are familiar with and we just purl that
last it p1 at the very end row six we begin with that one stitch knit one and
then we carry on all the way down the row with the stitch repeat between the
asterisks so this time it's p3 k1 so we are purling three stitches right here
one two I'm getting a little bit off camera and a little bit out of focus but
you totally understand this pattern by now so we did the p3 k1 all the way down
the RO and we just continued until you're at the end of row six and it's
time for row seven now row seven is exactly like Row three so it is k1 p1 k1
p1 all the way down the row until we get to that one last little stitch and you
can see right there in the pattern the last stitch is going to be a k1 it is
knitting one stitch this guy right here finishing that up and this is an eighth
row repeat so that means we are at our very last row and you start with p1
between the asterisks then it's just k1 p1 all the way down to the very end of
row 8 and continue repeating these 8 rows until your piece is the length that
you desire they could make a great scarf or a blanket you can get really creative
and I like to finish up my repeats with just the last two rows of Row one and
Row two you'll see that in the pattern the written pattern instructions I
mentioned that as well so thank you so much for watching and I will see you
next time guys.
BYE!
