How to knit the Eyelet Ridge stitch (2 rows only!)

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

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

N.B.:

The first row is a setup row or row “0”. It will be worked once, and won’t be repeated again.

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).
