6 Of Our Favorite Stockinette Stitch Knitting Patterns

Written by Kate Curry

The stockinette stitch is one of the first you’ll learn when you start knitting. This stitch is made by creating one row of knit stitches and then one row of purl stitches and repeating. This simple stitch is used to create stockinette stitch sweaters, bags, scarves - and more! The stockinette stitch has a wide range of uses and is relatively easy to learn. If you want to learn the stockinette stitch, we have you covered!
