The Fleur De Lys Knit Stitch Pattern
Hi, Guys, I’m Kristen and Welcome to Studio Knit!
It’s Knitting Lesson Monday and today we are knitting the Fleur de Lys vintage pattern.
Fleur de Lys are a stylized French Lily.
We are going to knit with two colors using stranded color work.
We begin by Casting on in multiples of six plus three. So, I cast on six, then another
six, and I'm ending my cast on with three more stitches.
So, we begin by knitting in the blue for three stitches. And then you'll see that within
the aestericks, we are going to repeat that pattern for the length that you have stitches
on your needle. So, we begin with one white knit stitch, and then five blue knit stitches.
And we continue within those aestericks the W1 and the B5, the one White and the five
Blue, until you reach the end of your needle. In stranded colorwork, we always work our
accent color, so this is, like the white yarn that we're using. We are going to keep that
on top of the blue yarn. And you'll see a little bit more of that demonstrated as we
go along. And now we are going to Purl one with our white yarn and we always keep that
on top of the blue. And then, within the aestericks, we are going to do three blue purl stitches
and three white purl stitches. Until we reach our last two stitches on our needle. And those
will be two blue purl stitches.
Next on row three, we begin with knitting three blue stitches,
and again, just like row one, within the aestericks, we are going to do one white stitch and five blue stitches and keep repeating
that until you get to the end of your needle.

Here on row four, it's a purl row and we begin with two blue stitches. And again, we are
keeping our white accent color on the top of our stranded colorwork and we will do one
white stitch and five blue purl stitches all the way down our needle. And here's how our
stranded colorwork is shaping up so far. Pretty cool! Okay, row five! We are going to knit
two white stitches and then within the aestericks there, we are going to repeat, we are going
to go three blue stitches and three white stitches and we will keep repeating the blue
three and the white three until we get to our final stitch, which will be one blue stitch.
Okay, row six! It's our very last row of the series. And so we are going to do purling
beginning with purl blue two times and then within the aestericks, we'll do one white
purl and five blue purls and we will repeat what's within the aestericks there the one
white and the five blue until we get to our very final stitch and that will be one white
purl stitch.
So, here’s how our wrong side looks with our stranded colorwork, and the gorgeous FLEUR
DE LYS pattern on the right side.
Repeat these six rows and continue your knitting for the length you desire in the FLEUR DE
LYS pattern!
