You already know that we like easy stitches and results. The one we’ll teach you to knit today also falls into this category: the box stitch. Perfect for those garments that you don’t want to be too complicated, but you want to use somthing with a texture that gives it a lot of vibes.
For this step by step, we’ve used our Merifine yarn and 5mm knitting needles.
As always, before beginning, we’ll review the techniques that you should be familiar with to work this stitch:
And now after this brief review, let’s get started!
We’ll start by casting on a multiple of 4 stitches, plus 2 extra.
Row 1: knit 2, then * purl 2, knit 2 *. Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 2: stary by purling 2, then * knit 2, purl 2 *. Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 3: knit 2, then * knit 2, purl 2 *. Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 4: knit 2, then * purl 2, knit 2 *. Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
To make your fabric longer, you’ll just repeat rows 1 to 4.
