Raindrop Stitch

Sample knit with worsted weight yarn on US size 8 needles

This stitch makes a subtle texture on stocking stitch.  You may want to consider a border all around to help the fabric lay flat, depending on how you plan to use the stitch.

And yes, I made a mistake in the video.  On the last row near the end, I forgot to slip the new stitch to the left needle to knit it again - sorry!

Multiple of 4 + 1

Rows 1 and 3 (WS): purl

Row 2: k1 *knit into next stitch in the row below, but don't drop original stitch from needle; slip new stitch back to left needle and knit it again, knit original stitch, then pass the new stitch over the stitch just knit, k3

Row 4: k3 *knit into next stitch in the row below, but don't drop original stitch from needle; slip new stitch back to left needle and knit it again, knit original stitch, then pass the new stitch over the stitch just knit, k3; repeat from *, end k1

Happy Knitting!

Bluebell Rib

Sample knit with Mulberry Merino yarn on US Size 6 addi Turbos

Time for more ribbing!  This is a super quick and easy stitch.  The sides are a little curly/sloppy, so I personally would add extra stitches on each side to neaten things up.

Multiple of 5 + 2

Rows 1 and 3: (RS) P2 *K3, P2*
Rows 2, 4 and 6: K2 *P3, K2*
Row 5: P2 *YO, Sl 1, K2tog, PSSO, YO, P2*

Repeat these six rows for the pattern.  Happy Knitting, and Enjoy!

Speckled Rib

Sample knit with Lily Sugar'nCream Cotton on US Size 9 needles.  This is what the front of the fabric looks like.        
This is what the back of the fabric looks like.

This is a super simple stitch.  With only two rows, it is also easy to remember.  I personally would add a few more stitches to neaten up the sides, maybe plain garter or seed stitch.

Multiple of 5 + 2

Row 1: P2 *K3, P2*
Row 2: K2 *P1, K1, P1, K2*

Repeat these two rows for the pattern.

Here is the video.  Happy Knitting, and Enjoy!
