How to knit the stockinette stitch for beginners
►►► VIEW THE FULL BLOG POST nimble-needles.com/stitches/how-to-knit-the-sto…

A step by step knitting tutorial on the stockinette stitch. It's probably the most popular knitting pattern and quite easy to knit - so perfect for beginners and their first work. Socks and pullovers will look beautiful in stockinette stitch as well.

Here's the repeat:
Row 1: Knit all stitches
Row 2: Purl all stitches

Repeat those two rows over and over again. It does not matter with which row you begin.

If you still need to cover the purl stitch, read all about it here: nimble-needles.com/stitches/how-to-purl-stitch-…
And for the knit stitch, you'll find my tutorial here: nimble-needles.com/stitches/how-to-knit-the-kni…

To prevent the edges from curling in, add a garter stitch edge of two knit stitches on either side.

Bind off the stockinette stitch with a regular bind off. You don't need any special stretchy cast off for this pattern.

If you want to knit the stockinette stitch in the round, you just have to knit all stitches. There's no need to purl!

I hope I was able to show you how to knit the stockinette stitch. Make sure to comment if you got any problems. And let me know how it went!
