    How to knit the Cross Stitch (for cowls, scarves, and hats)

    May 12, 2020 /

    In today’s tutorial, a gorgeous cross stitch pattern, easy to knit, it has a rich texture to it, and it’s perfect for knitting cowls, scarves, hats, even jumpers and cardigans (for women, men and children).

Its eye-catching texture makes it great for knitting hats, cowls and sweaters (as the Ripple stitch).  To successfully use this pattern, I strongly recommend two things: This cross stitch is not reversible and requires blocking, once our work is finished. Why? Because it tends to twist (it happens when crossing as we are pulling the stitches in a different direction every two rows). This one is a great blocking board, with grid lines, and t-pins!
