Netting Stitch: Learn to knit textured lace
One of the most beautiful net stitches I’ve seen: A lace knitting pattern that creates a textured mesh fabric, ideal to knit bags, wraps, shawls or Summer tops.
Easy to knit (4 rows only) and just a few techniques to implement. The texture is so special, that although the Netting stitch is not reversible, it looks like the Trinity stitch on the wrong side.

How to knit the Netting stitch pattern

1º Row (RS): K1 (edge), *K1, yo, slip 1 knitwise, k2tog, pass slipped st. over, yo*. Repeat from * to * to last 2 st., K1, then K1 (edge)
