The double fleck knit stitch pattern.
Hi, I'm Kristen,
and welcome back to "Studio Knit."
This double fleck stitch pattern
creates simple row punctuated with two little seed stitches
atop a stockinette background.
This is an easy knit and purl four-row repeat pattern.
It's an easy level project and a great choice
for knitting up blankets or scarves.
The double fleck is not reversible
because the texture design is only on the right side,
the front side of our work,
and when we flip it over,
you'll see that the wrong side is not identical,
so this is not a reversible pattern.
If you're interested in knitting this up,
please like up this video.
It really helps me out.
If you'd like to see more,
please make sure to subscribe to "Studio Knit."
I wanna point out that because it's
on a stockinette stitch background,
the edges do tend to curl.
So in this example,
I have a garter stitch border that's just two knit stitches
on the sides as well as two rows
of knit stitch on the bottom.
For your materials,
feel free to use any yarn of your choice
with appropriately sized knitting needles.
You'll also want to have scissors
and a tapestry needle on hand.
Before we knit this up together,
please know that the free written pattern
is available on my website.
It is also included in my "Knit Stitch" pattern book.
I have links in the description below,
and if you watch to the end of the video,
I will share more with you.
We are ready to knit it up.
We begin by casting on in multiples of six plus four.
So that means we begin by casting on six stitches
and continue casting on in multiples
of six until you have the desired number
on your needle and finish up
with an additional four stitches on your needle.
Row one could not be any easier for us.
We are knitting every single stitch on our needle.
Once you've reached the end
of row one knitting all those stitches,
then we switch our knitting needles
and we want the yarn in the front
because the first four stitches are purling all.
So we purl four stitches
and then those asterisks right there mean
that we are repeating this pattern in between the asterisk.
So we begin with knitting two stitches
and bring our yarn back to the front
so that we can purl four stitches.
Continue that pattern until you reach the end of row two.
When we switch our needles,
we can see the beginning of those two little double fleck,
those little purl stitches right there
on the right side of our work.
Continuing on with row three.
Again, all we are doing is knitting
every single stitch on the row,
just like we did row one, very easy.
Once we are done with row three,
we will switch our needles.
Again, we are beginning with the purl stitch.
So we're going to have our yarn in the front of our needles.
We're going to purl one,
knit two, and purl one.
Then we have those asterisks.
So we're repeating this next pattern
in between the asterisks,
which is purl three.
So we're purling three stitches.
Knitting two and purl one.
Continue this repeat until the end of the row.
Finishing up that last little purl stitch,
let's look at the front of our work.
We can see those double fleck textures starting to appear
and we just repeat rows one through four
until your piece is the length that you desire.
If you're interested in my "Knit Stitch" pattern book,
this double fleck pattern is included.
It's in the section of the four row repeats.
You'll find it on page 19.
This is available both in the printed and the online ebook.
I have links down below where you can purchase it
and you'll see that it includes a large photo
of the pattern as well as the stitch repeats,
a little knitting chart if you like reading those,
as well as instructions on how to knit flat
on straight needles like we just did,
or you can also knit this pattern
in the round on circular needles.
So I hope you are inspired
to give the double fleck knit stitch pattern a try.
Thank you so much for joining me at "Studio Knit,"
and I will see you here next time.
Bye.
