BUMPY RIDE knitting stitch
Get ready for a texture that truly pops! The Bumpy Ride stitch is a captivating geometric pattern that creates a bold, diagonal ‘bumpy’ effect across your fabric. While it looks high-end and complex, it is actually a rhythmic journey of just knit and purl stitches. With a 20-stitch repeat, it’s a fantastic project for knitters who enjoy watching a larger pattern emerge. It’s the perfect choice for a statement scarf, a textured pillow, or a modern baby blanket that needs a bit of extra character.
