How to Knit Stockinette Stitch

Stockinette stitch is one of the first stitches that you'll learn when you're first learning how to knit, right after garter stitch. It's the most "universal" stitch in knitting, and you will use it to some extent in pretty much every pattern you will ever knit. Mastering this stitch is great for practicing the purl stitch, too. All you need to know in order to learn how to knit stockinette stitch is how to cast on, how to bind off, and the knit and purl stitches. In stockinette, all of the stitches are aligned in the same direction, unlike garter stitch, where they face different directions depending on the row it's in. You can spot stockinette because the V sides of all of your stitches will be on the right side of your knitting, while the purl bump sides will be on the wrong side of your fabric. So many wonderful knitting patterns require the stockinette stitch, so learn how to do it today. Once you have mastered this basic stitch, you will be amazed at how many patterns you are able to complete. Whether you want to make a knit hat, cardigan, baby blanket, or anything in between, build a strong foundation by learning stockinette.
