STACKS Knitting Stitch
Some textures are so satisfyingly architectural that you just want to keep knitting them forever. The Stacks knitting stitch is exactly that—a rhythmic, 11-stitch repeat that creates a striking geometric ‘stacked’ effect using nothing more than knits and purls.
Whether you’re looking to add a textured panel to a larger sweater or want to scale this pattern up into a full-sized heirloom blanket, the Stacks stitch offers a modern, clean structure.
| Skill level | Multiple | Repeat | Reversible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner (only knits and purls) | 11 stitches | 8 rows | No |
