The Andalusian Knit Stitch Pattern.
Hi, Guys! I'm Kristen and thank you for
joining me here at Studio Knit.
This vintage Andalusian knit stitch pattern
is a sweet little update of the stockinette stitch it's a four row
repeat with just a little bit of visual interest and texture this is an easy
level project and it is perfect for everyone who has completed my
ABSOLUTE BEGINNER KNITTING SERIES because we are just using knits and pUrls we can see
the stitch pattern on the right side of our work if we turn it over on the wrong
side we'll see that it is not a reversible pattern however it does have
a really nice clean look on the backside here the stitch was named long ago after
the southern Spain community of Andalusia
I think this classic pattern would be perfect to knit up a darling baby blanket.
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 in this video I will link to those in the description for you

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 knit it up we're going to begin with our
beloved Slip Knot and then we're casting on in multiples of two plus one so cast
on two stitches I'm doing the longtail cast on method here cast on
another two and keep testing on your needle for as many stitches as you'd
like and here I have 24 and then we'll finish up with just one last stitch
that's your plus one one last stitch and now we're ready to knit row one and the
entire row is simply the knit stitch so every single stitch all the way down our
row is knitting once you've completed Row 1,
Row 2 is simply purling so you'll want to make sure to have that yarn in the front of
your needle before you start purling and of course you'll be keeping that yarn in
the front and purl all the way down row 2 now here on row 3 this is where the
little bit of texture comes in on this stitch the first stitch is the knit
stitch then we bring our yarn to the front to purl and we just continue
between those two asterisks you'll see in the pattern we're knitting one and
we're purling one all the way down the row now when we get to the end here
you'll see we have three stitches so we'll knit one
we'll purl one and then this last little stitch that plus one that we cast on we
are going to knit this stitch right here
okay we are at row four already and that is simply purling all the way down the
row continue to knit rows one through four until your work is the length you desire.
