Learn a New Stitch: Stockinette Chevron

, by . 2 Comments

stockinette chevron knitting stitch patternYou’ve probably seen wavy stitch patterns like Feather and Fan/Old Shale before. These patterns combine increases and decreases unevenly spaced across a row in such a way that it creates a wave in the stitches.

What these patterns have in common is that they’re typically worked in a Garter Stitch type pattern, but this version uses Stockinette and is called, by knittingstitches.org, anyway, Stockinette Chevron.

(I’d call it Stockinette Wave, but that’s just me.)

This is so pretty in multicolored yarn and would be great for all sorts of projects. Though I assume like regular Stockinette it will curl.

Has anyone used this stitch before? I’d love to hear more about it!

  1. Can you, please, tell which kind of yarn is used in this stockinette chevron-pattern? Would like to buy it.

  2. It’s gorgeous, isn’t it? The page doesn’t say but I think it’s some kind of multicolored yarn and a solid that are switched every couple of rows.

Chick Knitting Patterns

Recently I shared a  collection of Easter egg knitting patterns, and as we all know chicks are what comes out of eggs, so it’s only right to share some chick knitting patterns too. Chicks are perfect for spring decor even when it’s not Easter time, and they are so cute and fun to knit, too.

This fluffy chick from Sincerely Louise can also be worked in less fuzzy yarn if you’d rather. It’s worked flat and seamed so it’s a good one for newer knitters who might not be comfortable working little projects in the round. You can grab the pattern on Etsy.

This little chick from Fluff and Fuzz on Etsy looks like it’s still wearing part of its shell! There’s also an option without the white details, and you can knit these little hats as well. They’re worked in DK weight yarn. (She also has a super cute tiny egg shaped chick in a half shell that’s a free pattern on Ravelry.)

If you want ta chick that’s even more in an egg, this egg-shaped chick from Purl Soho may be what you’re looking for. It’s worked in super fine yarn so you can make a bunch of chicks with a skein or two of yarn, or use leftovers to change up the colors.

Alan Dart has a cute pattern that includes two halves of a broken egg and a chick that fits inside. It calls for DK weight yarn.

The spring chick pattern from Barbara Prime is a sweet little bird shape that you could make as other birds worked in different colors. The pattern doesn’t specify yarn weight, so use whatever yellow (or other color you like) yarn you have on hand to make birds of different sizes.

Make a cute, fuzzy, felted chick with the Chick Wobblers pattern from Cindy Pilon (available on Ravelry). These little chicks come in two sizes and have an “internal wobbler” so when you try to tip them over they wobble back up.
