How to knit the Eyelet rows stitch pattern (no purling!)

Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Eyelet rows stitch, one of those patterns that we knitters love…

It’s a lovely yet versatile design, easy-peasy, so it doesn’t matter if you’re just starting to knit.

Why?

Essentially because the Eyelet rows, is a four-row repeat pattern, three of which are plain knit rows.

Our “work” consists of two basic steps that will be repeated throughout the fourth row: Yarn over + simple decrease.

So, no purling is required! YAY!

The result is a pattern that we can use to knit the whole garment, or with Garter or Stockinette stitch sections.

Honestly, it reminds me of a period in my life when I only made cotton yarn lace sweaters (both, with short and long sleeves).

In fact, this is a perfect stitch for that kind of work, but also for rectangular pieces, such as wraps, cowls, and scarves.

Although it’s so simple, you’ll love it 😉

So I´ll let you grab your needles and some yarn, and get busy!

CO: Cast on

st: Stitch

K: Knit

P: Purl

yo: Yarn over

sd: Simple decrease (slip one stitch as if to knit, knit the next, pass the slipped stitch over the last one)

RS: Right side of the work

BO: Bind off

WS: Wrong side of the work

The odd rows form the right side of the work.

CO an even number of stitches.

1º, 2º, and 3º rows (RS): K across

4º row: K1,*yo, sd*. Repeat from * to *, to last st, K1.

These four rows create the pattern. Repeat them until the desired length is reached.

When finished BO knitwise after a row 3 (WS).

This is the other side of the work:
