Simple Slipped Stitch Stripes
Jen LucasSlipped stitch stripes are a joy to knit and look a lot more difficult than they actually are. If you can knit and purl, you can learn to work this easy stitch pattern. In this video, Jen Lucas demonstrates how to knit a slipped stitch stripe pattern.
Jen begins by showing some examples of projects where she used this stitch pattern. She shows a dishcloth, placemat, and shawl. The dishcloth and placemat feature this stitch used as an allover stitch pattern. For the shawl, the slipped stitches are used along two edges as a pretty detail.
With two colors, the stitch pattern is worked over a multiple of 12 plus 7 stitches. Jen casts on 19 stitches with Color A to demonstrate the stitch pattern.
