If you are following me, you know I have been learning to knit shawls. I have found there are so many different ways to make a shawl. You can knit bottom up, side to side or on the bias; to name a few.
My favorite has been the easiest shawl ever, which is from the bottom up, check out the video here. Well since I have been trying not to knit, I have been doing research. I found this not pattern called Textured Shawl Recipe and I decided to give it a try.
I found some orange yarn, shocking I know, and decided to get started. The recipe has a textured section, that I couldn’t see in my head. The recipe said to slip one stitch (I can do that) knit one stitch, yarn over and then pass slipped stitch over. Of course I did what I thought that meant, and uh nope. I went to YouTube and found variations but not that exact stitch. 🙁 This made me go back and read the recipe again. I promise you I read the beginning and the end, usually, well did I do that this time? Of course I didn’t, because had I read pass the yarn over both the knitted stitch and the yarn over. I wouldn’t have been so confused. Duh!
I figured it out but I still felt like someone else may want to see what that looks like

The Stitch
I recorded a little tutorial showing me as I knit the textured stitch. Now what I don’t know is if this stitch has a name. I need to look in the books I have. I’ll get back to you all, in the meantime check out the video.
Feel free to share with your friends.
Knit on my fiber friends….knit on

Good morning,
I know that you’re still awake knitting. 😀 I just wanted to stop by and say good morning. I’ll be up til “dawn” because I am drinking coffee, alternating between knitting and crocheting. Oh, and shopping. Lord help me! Lol! I saw your scope. 👏👏👏 I loved it! Have a wonderful day and weekend, GG! ❤
Hi Dawn! I fell asleep soon after this
Hey GG,
Thanks for the tutorial. This ‘recipe’ produces a cool stitch that I need to try! I’m currently wrapping up my winter knits with finishing the WATG Get Around Jumper
( also a cool stitch I’ve never tried- the double wrap) and Cross Country Coat ( my second one) before doing getting into my summer projects. I may even do another Fearless cardi ( since the weather’s cold this week). I do, however, want to try this new stitch! Thanks for the video.
Oh I have to check out that pattern. Thanks for watching
I too am visual. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. After watching you and listening to your explanation I can “see” it really is very simple and easy.
I am happy it is helpful! Thanks for reading
I am happy it was helpful!
So much easier to see it done in person! I’ve done an iPad case with a similar stitch but I can’t remember what its called. This would look great on a hat though! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Welcome, you are!! I have been trying to think what I could use it on and a hat would be perfect!
Thank you! Just what I needed.
I’m happy it helped
