How to knit the Rose stitch pattern (4 rows only!)

Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Rose stitch (I’m not sure, but I think it’s one of the Shetland Lace patterns).

It’s a four-row repeat pattern, it has a lovely texture to it, and it’s easier than it looks 😉

I decided to knit a swatch using a blend of cotton yarn and polyester, light and smooth, just to show you how versatile the Rose stitch is… #ad

Actually, it will also work for A/W projects: Use Mohair, Cashmere, Alpaca, wool yarn, or its blends, and the result will be a cozy and warm garment.

Moreover, this pattern will look great not only on a scarf, or a shawl, but also on a top, cardigan, or sweater.

Last but not least, don’t forget the most important tips when knitting lace patterns:

First of all, everything will be easier if you knit with sharp tip needles #ad (from now on, increasing and decreasing stitches will be quick and safe!).

Secondly, block your swatch (and later, your project).

I do it regularly, and the difference is impressive: Not only because it doesn’t roll or bend, but because the definition of the pattern is significant.

You’ll get a nice, smooth, and flat fabric, plus when knitting a swatch, you’ll see the real size (something crucial when knitting a piece that should fit).

So, it’s time to grab your needles, a bit of yarn, and… action!
