Elongated Stitch

Sample knit with worsted weight yarn on US Size 11 Knitter's Pride Cubics

This has to be one of the easiest stitches around.  All you have to do is knit and make yarn overs.  It can be done on any yarn with any needle, on any number of stitches.

Cast on any number of stitches

Knit as many plain rows of garter stitch you like.
On the next row, wrap the yarn around the needle twice, three times, etc.  The more wraps you do, the longer your dropped stitches will be.  The fewer wraps, the shorter they will be.
Knit the next row, dropping all of the extra wraps.

Repeat.  Simple!
