Garter Stitch

Similar to the crossed knit stitch, the garter stitch is created by alternating each row of the knit. In the garter stitch we alternate rows of knit and purl.

  1. Cast On
  2. Row 1: Knit all the way across (no wrap stitch seen in video 1)
  3. Row 2: Purl all the way across (purl stitch seen in video 2)
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the knit is the desired length.
  5. Cast Off

The Crossed Knit Stitch

The crossed knit stitch pattern is created by alternating rows of e wrap stitches with no wrap stitches.
  1. Cast on.
  2. Row 1: E wrap and knit one row.
  3. Knit across another row using the "no wrap."
  4. Repeat step 2 and 3 until your reach the desired length.
  5. Cast off.
The first video demonstrates the e wrap in step 2.
 The second video demonstrates the no wrap in step 3.
