Step-by-Step Guide to Knitting Patterns

Introduction to Knitting Patterns

Cast on the even quantity of stitches. Make the 1st row: slip the selvedge stitch, then repeat the sequence of *1 knit stitch, 1 purl stitch* until the end of the row.

Row by Row Instructions

Row 2

Start the next row according to the scheme. Knit stitches where indicated, and slip stitches with a yarn over in place of purls.

Row 3

Begin the 3rd row by slipping the selvedge stitch, then make a yarn over and purl through the first loop. Continue to repeat these actions until the end of the row, finishing with a purl for the last selvedge stitch.

Row 4

In the 4th row, start by slipping the selvedge stitch first, followed by the knit stitches. The new stitch created with 2 yarn overs should be knit as a purl. Repeat these actions until the end of the row, concluding with a purl stitch.

Final Steps

Repeat from the 1st row to continue your knitting pattern.
