Knitting Stitch List

A knitting stitches list which describes the stitches that are used in knitting Page 1 / Page 2.

To knit plain – Having the number of stitches required on the left hand needle, slip the right hand needle into the last stitch made. Throw yarn over right hand needle and draw through stitch. Repeat until all the stitches are on the right hand needle.

To purl – Bringing the yarn in front of the right hand needle, take up the stitch on the left hand needle by slipping right hand needle into the front of stitch. Throw yarn around the back of needle as it passes in the stitch, catch it in, and take it off.

Be careful always to carry the yarn back of the needle after a purled stitch before knitting a plain stitch.

Cardigan Stitch – Always cast on an even number of stitches with this stitch, knit first stitch, *wool in front of needle, take off stitch as to purl without knitting same, put wool back of needle and knit next stitch, repeat from * across row, the last stitch will be taken off without knitting. Knit all rows the same as this, always being sure to knit the first stitch. This forms a double work and is very elastic for the bottom of garment.

In binding off, when this stitch is used alone two stitches should be bound off together or it will leave a ruffled edge.

Brioche Knitting Stitch – cast on some multiple of 3. 1st row: Wool over needle, slip 1, inserting needle as through to purl, knit 2 together and repeat to end. 2d row: Wool over, slip 1 as through to purl, knit together the next stitch and the thread which lies over it; repeat to end. Repeat 2d row for all work.

Garter Stitch – Garter stitch is plain knitting, always slipping the first stitch of each row, and is always knit back and forth with two needles. Both sides are knit alike.

Double Brioche Knitting Stitch – Cast on some number divisible by 4, wool over, slip 1, inserting needle as through to purl, knit 1, knit 2 together; repeat for all work.
