How to knit the Cross stitch pattern in just four rows

In today’s tutorial, I will show you how to knit a super pretty Cross Stitch, step by step.

A few months ago we saw how to knit a variant of the Cross Stitch in which we learned to cross stitches without using a cable needle.

The truth is that both stitches have a spectacular texture, which makes them perfect for knitting accessories, such as hats, gloves and mittens, socks, etc.

However, you can also use them for sweaters, cardigans or cardigans, and even blankets.

In addition, the Cross Stitch we see today is not difficult to knit: It is done in four rows, two of which are formed with knit and purl stitches.

And on the other two rows we repeat the same steps, so, it’s an easy pattern to memorize.

Although it doesn’t curl, the side edges are somewhat irregular, so if what you want is to knit a blanket, a scarf, or an infinity cowl, I recommend knitting a nice border on each side of the garment.

Last but not least, and because it’s a cross stitch, it’s important not to tighten the stitches too much; the result will be much better if we work with looser stitches.

The good news is that this stitch doesn’t tend to warp like other cross stitches; the fabric stays flat (and rectangular or square), something that we knitters really appreciate 😉

Ok, without further ado, grab your needles, and some yarn, and let’s knit something pretty!
