GARTER LINES knitting stitch

Meet the Garter Lines stitch—a beautiful study in simplicity. This texture combines the classic squish of garter stitch with clean vertical columns, creating a sophisticated fabric that looks great. Because it features a simple 2-row repeat, it’s the ultimate relaxing project for beginners or seasoned knitters looking for a meditative knit. Whether you’re crafting a cozy scarf or a modern baby blanket, these rhythmic lines add just the right amount of detail without any of the complexity.
