Hey everybody it’s Julia from Darn Good Yarn and today I'm going to teach you how to do the Daisy stitch. So this is definitely one of my favorites and if you look closely here you can see these stitches kind of create a nice floral pattern. So it's a little bit complicated, there are four rows that repeat but once you got it down and you can get it pretty easily. So we're going to start off the first row you're just going to knit all the way down. So in the next row you're going to knit the first stitch, now we're going to purl three together and keep it on the needle.
So you want to bring your yarn up to the front, you're going to insert your right needle through three stitches on the left, yarn over, pull those through. You're going to keep it on the needle so you want to leave it just like this, then you're going to yarn over, insert your needle back into those three stitches, yarn over again and now we're going to do full purl so take that right off the needle and then your next stitch you're going to knit one and then the same thing again. So we're going to bring that yarn back to the front, we're going to purl three together, yarn over, you can leave it on the needle. So then we're gonna yarn over again and insert back into these stitches, yarn over, I'm going to full purl so we're going to take that right off the needle. So now I'm going to knit one and the same thing again, just want to bring that forward, we're going to purl three together, make that on the needle, yarn over, yarn over, pull up and then the last stitch just a regular knit and for row three just going to regular knit down the whole row.
In row four similar to row two just a little different so you're going to start with a knit one, purl one, knit one. We're going to do that same section from row 2, so you're going to purl three together, keep it on your needle, yarn over, then purl three. You're going to knit one and we're going to purl three and then you should have three left at the end. You're gonna knit one, then purl one, then knit one.
Alright so here's the daisy stitch coming a bit more together here. And you're just going to do those same four rows in your repeat, until you get to the desired length of your project. So thanks for watching everybody!
