Twisted Stockinette and Double Twisted Stockinette Stitch

Here is another knit block as part of knit a block a week series.
I have already missed out few blocks in the past week and trying to make up for those in the coming weeks..


Today's  block has 3 similar sounding stitches with slight variation while knitting and visibly a lot of difference.

So, here we have the 3 stockinette stitches:
1. Stockinette Stitch
2. Twisted Stockinette Stitch
3. Doubld Twisted Stockinette Stitch




1. Stockinette Stitch 

Stitched as regular knit and purl in the front loop.
We have made a block with this stockinette stitch here.


2. Twisted Stockinette Stitch 

Cast on any number of stitches. 

Row 1: Knit through the back loop 

Row 2: Purl

Repeat these 2 rows.


3. Double Twisted Stockinette Stitch 

Cast on any number of stitches.

Row 1: Knit through the back loop 

Row 2: Purl through the back loop 

Repeat these 2 Rows.

The double twisted stockinette stitch has a slight inclination towards left.


Happy Knitting!
