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.

3Âş and 4Âş rows: *p1, k1*. Repeat from * to *, to the end.

These four rows form the pattern. Repeat them until the desired length is reached. When finished, BO in pattern after a row 3.

9Âş and 10Âş rows: Such as rows 3Âş and 4Âş
