![]() ![]() Then insert your needle through the original spot where your yarn first appeared. The needle goes under one arm of the V and through the other arm. Next, thread your yarn through the stitch above the stitch you intend to cover. Leave a length of yarn on the reverse side of the fabric which is long enough to darn into your work once you are finished the duplicate stitching. The needle will come up at the base of the V, shown here with a red dot! Duplicate stitch is always worked over stocking stitch so each stitch will resemble a V in shape. Thread your yarn on your darning needle and thread it through your knit fabric just under the stitch you intend to cover. We started with a piece of yarn about 80cm long. It takes approximately 147cm length of yarn to make a polka dot but we made each polka dot with two separate lengths of yarn. The length of which will depend on how large an area you intend to cover, tempered by how long a piece you can handle pulling up through your work repetitively without getting tangled up. You will need: a darning needle, and contrast colour yarn in the same thickness as the yarn you used to knit your garment, and sharp scissors too.Ĭut a piece of yarn. I will demonstrate in the form of a tutorial! DUPLICATE STITCH TUTORIAL It is more akin to an embroidery than a knitting technique and is so simple and fun to do. You may add the polka dots where you will as they are added on after with a marvelous and easy technique called duplicate stitch.ĭuplicate Stitch is a wonderful way to add coloured embellishments to your knitted garments. Knit in organic cotton it is meant to be casual and comfortable, the polka dot embellishment is meant to be a whole lot of fun! It’s a small size t-shirt, to fit baby and up to 3-years in size. So, essentially I’m saying….you can adapt it any way you like best □Īnd there is no easy solution for this.Today I would like to highlight the final pattern in The Knit Cafe’s Wee Collection Fall 2014. BUT then you would end up with a slight slant as they will not properly align. Or, you continue with the repeat INTO the next round. But, in round 4 you will create a pattern gap of 5 knit stitches around the start/end of your round if you would add a k1 at the very end of the repeat. When you are knitting in the round, you don’t need the second +1 because you only want 1 knit stitch between every little “star”. So, when knitting flat, the +1 will give you a selvage of one knit stitch on both sides of the repeat. ![]() Now here comes the hard part about casting on. So, like someone else already pointed out, row4 was missing a “k2” at the very end. That’s why, in R4, it says “purl 3” instead of just one. The basic repeat of the start stitch is *p1, * and you are off-setting that repeat by 2 stitches every pattern row. Well…this is a difficult question really and there is no right and wrong answer. Step 4: Secure the yarn over with your right index finger and now purl 3 together into the same 3 stitches again. Step 3: Now you have to yarn over purlwise once. Step 2: Purl these three stitches together BUT DON’T SLIP THE STITCH. Step 1: Insert the right needle into the first three stitches on your left needle. You can catch up on how to purl stitch here, and here’s a tutorial for the knit stitch. I’m just going to show you how to knit the star stitch here. But if you are an intermediate English knitter, I’m sure you can adapt it. I am a continental knitter, so I am going to show you how to knit the start stitch the continental way. It’s maybe a bit slower to knit, but if this instruction didn’t make any sense to you, read on to view the close-up pictures. I know, this sounds quite difficult, but it really isn’t. The star stitch is an easy 4-row repeat where the iconic stars are knitted from the wrong side. If you are looking for a similar-looking reversible pattern the moss stitch might be a good option for you. Note: The star stitch is not a reversible pattern. In knitting pattern, the star stitch is often also called Daisy Stitch or Flat Knot. It’s maybe not the best beginner stitch but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty smooth knitting. So, it can be the ideal pattern for a little baby blanket or a warm sweater. It’s not all that stretchy, rather solid, and pretty thick. The star stitch creates very beautiful fabric with a lot of texture. So, you want to knit a project in the star stitch but you don’t know how? Well, you came to the right place! In this tutorial, I’m not only going to show you the repeat but also provide you with step-by-step instruction with extra-large pictures, as this stitch is a bit more difficult to explain and knit. A step-by-step tutorial on the star stitch knitting pattern with detailed instructions for beginners. ![]()
