How to Knit the Grid Stitch + video (doesn’t curl)

In today’s tutorial, we’ll learn how to knit the Grid stitch. This is the first time we’re going to knit a dense, thick, grid stitch (so far, all the patterns we’ve learned are lace grid stitches).

I love the Grid stitch because it features a lot of advantages: It’s super easy to knit, it doesn’t curl, it’s reversible (almost identical on both sides), and it’s also unisex (it works for children’s, women’s and men’s garments).

This is a four-row repeat pattern, two of which are plain knit rows. The other two require only knitting and purling, so, if you are just starting to knit, this pattern will suit you!

Due to its characteristics, the Grid stitch is a fantastic option for knitting hats, scarves, infinite cowls, bags, sweaters/cardigans, even placemats or table runners.

Grab your needles, and let’s knit together!
