Tassel Stitch | Hands Occupied Knitting Tutorial

Learn how to knit the Tassel Stitch, which creates a flexible, wearable fabric with a clear right and wrong side. This advanced beginner-friendly stitch pattern is worked over a multiple of 6 stitches plus 1 (i.e. 7, 13, 19 sts, etc.) and 12 rows. --------------------- TASSEL STITCH PATTERN Knitting skill level: Easy CO a mult of 6 sts + 1 1.

Rep rows 1-12. (12 rows) Special stitch note: Within the Tassel Stitch, other stitches are worked. A special stitch (a.k.a. not your run of the mill knit or purl 2tog) is used to achieve the Tassel Stitch, and it's called a loop. By definition (source: https://bit.ly/31cnubx though in row 11 my pattern differs, I believe fixing a minor error), a loop in the Tassel Stitch is worked as follows. "Put right-hand needle through between the 4th and 5th stitches and draw through a loop." I demo it in the video as well. 👍🏻 Please note that stitches are presented using the Craft Yarn Council's standards and abbreviations: http://bit.ly/cyc-standards --------------------- Disclosure: Yarn and needles were provided by Knit Picks, a company I am affiliated with as a Brand Ambassador.
