Stockinette Stitch
The stockinette stitch, also known as Jersey, is the
most common stitch found in knitting. It makes a
distinctive "V" pattern on the right side of the
fabric. It will curl unless there is ribbing (such as
single rib or double rib) or another
evening-out stitch such as the garter stitch at the ends. This
is one reason why you add the garter stitch to your
swatches. If you want the rolled
look, maybe for a hat, then use this stitch without
an evening-out stitch on the borders. This stitch is
done by working the knit stitch, flat stitch or k tbl (e-wrap) stitch on
all of the rows. The easiest is working the k tbl
(e-wrap) stitch but the choice is yours. The example
chart to the right shows both but you should choose
one and use it throughout the project.
See Reading Charts if
you are not familiar with how to read a
pattern.
