The Stockinette Stitch & Reverse Stockinette


The two essential stitches in a knitter's skill set are Knit and Purl, and the best way to practice these by working the Stockinette Stitch.


The Stockinette Stitch:

Cast On:  Any number of stitches
Row 1 (Right Side):  Knit all.
Row 2:  (Wrong Side):  Purl all.
Repeat Rows 1-2 as needed.

Reverse Stockinette:

This is the reverse side of the stockinette stitch.  The Purl side becomes the Right Side.
Cast On:  Any number of stitches
Row 1 (Right Side):  Purl all.
Row 2 (Wrong Side):  Knit all.
Repeat Rows 1-2 as needed.

The Spider Stitch

The Spider Stitch (aka Baby V Stitch or Small Berry Clusters) is a variation on the classic V stitch, made with single crochets instead of double crochets. You Will Need: Materials:   I used Hikoo Simpliworsted by Skacel.  Worsted Weight (4).  Superwash wool blend. Tools:   Since I used Worsted Weight Yarn, I grabbed my trusty H-8/5.0mm Skills:   Chain (CH), Skip (SK), Single Crochet (SC), Half Double Crochet (HDC).  Working in chain-1 space (ch-1 sp). The Spider Stitch Worked over an even number of stitches  Foundation Row:   Chain an even number of stitches. Row 1:   CH 1, SK 1. SC to end. (Or, make one row of foundation single crochet) Row 2:   CH 2, SK 1.  In the next stitch, sc 1, ch 1, sc 1.  [sk 1, (sc 1, ch 1, sc 1)] until you have two stitches left.  SK 1, HDC 1. Row 3:  Repeat Row 2, working in ch-1 spaces. Continue to repeat Row 3.
