How to Knit the Eyelet Ridge Stitch: 2 Rows + Video

Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Eyelet Ridge stitch, step by step 🙂

This stitch is part of the Easy Lace Knitting Patterns collection, where you’ll find more one-row, two-row, and 4-row repeat designs.

It’s a two-row repeat pattern, easy to knit, and easy to memorize (it’s pretty intuitive).

The Eyelet Ridge stitch creates a little bit of volume and has a great texture to it.

Although is not identical on both sides, the so-called “wrong side” looks good too, so to me, it’s a reversible pattern.

This is why it’s ideal for scarves, infinite cowls, the sleeves of a cardigan or sweater, and moreover, blankets.

If this is your choice, please think of adding a Seed stitch or Irish Moss stitch edge, at least on the sides of the garment, because the sides tend to bend.

Ok, enough chatting…

Grab your needles and a lovely, smooth, luxury yarn, like this 100% Merino wool), and let’s get started #ad

The odd rows form the right side of the work.

There are two edge or selvage stitches (the first and the last) included in the stitch count.

CO multiples of 6 + 3 + 2 (edge st); i.e.: 6 * 3 = 18 + 3 = 21 + 2 = 23 st.

Setup row: P across

Row 1 (RS): K1 (edge), P3, *yo, k3togtbl, yo, P3*. Repeat from * to *, to last st, ending with P1 (edge)

Row 2: P1 (edge), *K3, P3*. Repeat from * to *, to last 4 st, ending with K3, P1 (edge).

These last two rows create the pattern. Repeat them until the desired length is reached.

When finished, BO knitwise after row 2 (RS).
