Classic Stockinette and Reverse Stockinette Stitch Tutorials (Worked Flat and in the Round)6/1/2021 Stockinette stitch is one of the basic knitting stitches, and one of the first that beginner knitters learn. It is very versatile and can be used for a variety of different projects, as well as yarn weights and fibers. Stockinette is also the basis for many textured, eyelet, and cable patterns. There are two variations to Stockinette stitch, the first, shown above, is the classic version; the second, shown below, is Reverse Stockinette, which uses the wrong side of the fabric as the right side. In this tutorial I will explain both versions in further detail. Stockinette stitch is worked differently flat than in the round, as circular knitting does not work with the wrong side of the fabric. In this tutorial I will show how to achieve stockinette and reverse stockinette for both flat and circular knitting. Skill LevelBeginner (basic understanding of knitting required) Materials

Flat Stockinette and Reverse StockinetteBegin by casting on any number of stitches. For the purposes of this tutorial I cast on 16.
