STOCKINETTE STITCH

Stockinette Stitch is the classic grandfather of all knitting stitches. It basically has come to define what people recognize as "knitting". It produces a flat, orderly stitch characterized by rows of "V" shapes stacked on each other. Be aware though, knitting a flat piece in stockinette will cause the edges to curl, and it's recommended to knit a garter or other non-curling stitch edge around the stockinette stitch. Reverse stockinette is when the purled side is shown on the front side of a piece or fabric.

INSTRUCTIONS
