Twisted Stockinette Rib

Sample knit with Sapphires-n-Purls Merino DK on US Size 7 needles


Multiple of 3

Row 1 (RS): *k2tog, leaving sts on needle, k first st again, slip both from needle, k1; rep from *
Rows 2 and 4: purl
Row 3: *k1, k2tog, leaving sts on needle, k first st again, slip both from needle; rep from *

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.  This stitch will curl, so you may want to add a garter/seed stitch border depending on what you are knitting.

Happy Knitting!

Oh, I like this stitch. I think it wants to be a dishcloth for practice. Thanks.

Hi. Thank you for the new stitch. I'd like to know the brand of knitting needles you're using, they look lovely to work with. Susan

Suzz1120 they are just some cheapy needles I found on amazon - it is a whole set actually for under $9. You can find them here: http://amzn.to/1R9ayYw

Looks lovely and so easy. The way you out the yarn round the needle looked a little strange. Are you left handed?

Sapphires-N-Purls said...

Ann, I am not left handed.

A quick thank you for the link to the needles, WOW! I ordered the complete set... Straights, Double-pointed and Circulars for only $18 and change!! Yes, they're from China but have already gotten the straights and dp and the circulars should maybe be here today? Something like 5 days or so, I am SO stoked! LOL, doesn't take much to make my day, right? Anyway, thanks again for the heads up :)

This is a lovely stitch - would you say it has the 'bunching' quality of a rib, or does the diagonal offset that a bit? This one will go in my knit sampler, for sure.
Thanks!
