The Daisy Stitch! Hi, Guys, I'm Kristen and Welcome to Studio Knit! It's Knitting Lesson
Monday and I have recently received a lot of requests for this stitch. It is the very
pretty, vintage Daisy Knitting pattern perfect for summer time. I love how the rows, they
knit up with a bit of thickness and the alternating rows of daisy flowers are just so cute and
happy. This knit stitch would make a great baby blanket. What other projects do you think
you would like to knit up with the Daisy Stitch? Let me know in the comments below! We begin
by casting on in multiples of four stitches, plus one. So here in my example I have twelve
plus one stitch for thirteen. On row one, we simply knit the entire row. Doesn't get
much easier than that. Once you're near the end of Row One, it's time to start row two.
We begin with one knit stitch. Now, we're going to be bringing our yarn around to the
front as if to purl which we will be. We're going to purl three together. So, we put our
needle in to three stitches. Right like that. And then we take our yarn, we wrap it around,
counter-clockwise as if to purl, and we are NOT going to take those stitches off the left
needle. We're going to keep them right there. So we have one stitch created. Now we're going
to create our second stitch by a yarn over. Now this yarn over also goes counter-clockwise,
so that's the second stitch right there, okay, great. Now we're just going to finish up the
Daisy Stitch. We are going to insert our right needle again into those three stitches exactly
the same as we did we go ahead wrap it around counter-clockwise, purl through, and now we
are able to take those three stitches on our left needle off. And we're done! So, you'll
see, we have created three stitches of the daisy stitch on our right needle. Now, we
just knit one, very simple. Let's do it one more time together. So, we're going to put
our yarn in front and we are going to take our needle and put it through the front of
those three stitches on our left. Okay, we take our yarn, wrap it around counter-clockwise,
and we purl it through on our right needle. Now, we keep those stitches on the left needle.
They stay right there. Okay, so now we're going to just do one more yarn over counter-clockwise
like that, that's our second stitch, again we put our right needle into the front of
those three stitches, we purl and we are now able to take those stitches off the left needle.
Yay! We've done it. So, this is what it looks like when you're done with your series. You
have the first knit stitch, then the three, the one, the three, and the final knit stitch.
Awesome! Okay, so row three, I'm changing it to the color white. You don't need to change
yarn colors at all. Now, row three, very simple, you simply knit all the way across the row.
And while you're knitting this row, you may want to take your time because we are knitting
those yarn overs. Okay, now row four is really a repeat of row two, except the daisies will
be alternating so we're going to do Knit One, Purl One, and then we start our series with
knit one, and we are going to do the Daisy Stitch. So, you know the drill. We are going
to put our yarn in front and this might even be a little bit easier with the white yarn
we go ahead and we are going to purl three together right here. Okay, now remember we
yarn over counter clockwise, we put our needle right back into those three stitches, you
purl the stitch, there it is on our right needle, we get to take them off our left needle.
Yay! And then we knit one. Awesome, okay now do this series all the way down the row until
you get to the end and at the end you're just going to do an extra purl one knit one. And
here's what it looks like. Now, the Daisies don't look very defined. They look better
once you do that next all knit row, so here's what it looks like so we can see our pretty
white daisies. And so now, you just continue knitting all the way the same series of four
rows until your piece is the length you desire. I hope you are inspired to give the DAISY
STITCH a try. For the written pattern, I have added a link for more information on my website
