Hail stitch knitting pattern: Easy textured lace

The Hail stitch is a lovely lace pattern: Pretty easy to knit (perfect for beginners), full of texture, great for knitting lots of garments, such as baby clothing, sweaters, scarves, bags, cushions, shawls, blankies, tops…it works with everything!

The only techniques required are: Knit, purl and knit two stitches together, that’s it! So, it doesn’t matter if you are just starting to knit 😉
