Just Stitches

54 Knitting Stitch Patterns
From beginner stitch patterns such as the basic stockinette,
moss stitch, and craftsman stitch, all the way up to intermediate stitches such
as a variety of cables and lace mesh designs, this stitch guide is sure to
inspire your next knitting project!

 

All example swatches were worked with a medium/worsted
weight yarn and needles ranging from size 8US/5.0mm to size 10US/6.0mm.
However, you can experiment with different
weights and styles of yarn to create a variety of effects.

This guide is for any
knitter with a basic knowledge of:
·
        
Reading patterns
·
        
Casting on, binding off
·
        
Working the knit and purl
stitch
·
        
Increasing by making a yarn
over and decreasing by knitting or purling two or more stitches together.
Enjoy, have fun and get inspired!
