How to Knit the Bumpy Stitch Pattern (Reversible & Doesn’t Curl) + Video
In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn a reversible stitch, identical on both sides; the Bumpy stitch. Perfect for knitting scarves, blankets, and cowls. It’s also an option for knitting edges that don’t curl.

Classic and Striped Moss stitches: Reversible and they don’t curl (for knitting blankets and scarves)
In this tutorial, you’ll learn two different stitches: The classic Moss stitch, and, by adding a couple of rows, the striped Moss stitch; a more horizontal pattern design. I designed this new striped moss version myself, specifically for knitting scarves and blankets, because it’s reversible (practically identical on both sides), and it doesn’t curl. No extra edges are necessary! This striped moss stitch has a great texture to it, it’s pretty easy to knit (and to memorize), ideal for beginners: If you can knit and purl, you can knit this new stitch without a doubt.
