already been creating when you are knitting every row in your knitting
swatch you are creating the most basic knit stitch pattern the Garter stitch
when you are knitting one row and then purling the next you are creating the
stockinette knit stitch pattern I'm going to share some of my favorite
beginning knit stitch patterns that require just these two techniques
knitting and purling I'll have links to the video tutorials and written pattern
instructions in the description below here is the one by one rib stitch
pattern and the thicker 2x2 rib stitch pattern the reverse rib stitch pattern
has a stretchy rib pattern and it's horizontally rather than vertically if
you're enjoying learning about knit stitch patterns to be a favor like up
this video it really helps me out and here are two really popular knit and
purl stitch patterns the seed stitch it creates a
really pretty and sturdy piece of knitting the Irish moss stitch also
called the American moss stitch it's similar to the seed stitch but it has a
thicker texture the basket weave is really impressive it looks like your
pattern is actually woven like a basket but it's really just a combination of
knit and purl stitches row after row the waffle stitch it also has a really fun
texture and syrup is optional a couple more fun ones are the caterpillar stitch
because the raised purl stitches make it look like a little caterpillar shape
here and the chevron stitch is really cool you can see the zigzag pattern from
those raised purl stitches make sure to click the links down below and check out
