How to knit the Drizzle stitch (English and Continental)

In today’s tutorial I’m sharing how to knit the Drizzle Stitch, step by step.

Honestly, I have to confess that when I saw it, I fell in love (among other things, because it forms a tiny pattern, a lovely design that will show up even in the smallest garments.

It’s an adorable four-row repeat pattern, two of which are plain purl rows.

In fact, one of the things that I like the most about the Drizzle stitch is that despite having slip stitches, the fabric does not tighten or shrink, as sometimes happens.

Probably, it’s because of those alternating purl rows; they make the fabric “rest and relax”, let’s say.

Furthermore, it doesn’t curl!

Nevertheless, I’d prefer to add edges, especially when knitting a scarf, blanket, or cowl.

Of course, it will also work for sweaters, cardigans, or vests… imagine a hat! Such a pretty stitch 🙂

Although it’s not reversible, the wrong side looks interesting to me too… What else can we ask for?

Finally, I know that slipping stitches could be confusing sometimes, so I’ve decided to show you how to do it in both, English and Continental methods 😉

So, grab your needles, a little bit of wool, and let’s get started!
