Bamboo Stitch

Posted by Connie on January 21, 2011 at 4:23am in Stitch-A-Day Creations
This was called a bamboo stitch, but I did a yarnover every stitch, instead of every other stitch (I didn't read the pattern very well, did I?) so I think I "created" the double bamboo stitch.

    I don't crochet well but I often like the look. This stitch is my knitter's take on Mary's beanies which I still haven't mastered. (I'm also using it as a border on a slipover but I'm having to remake that as the shoulder section went a bit wonky.)

    Very cool!  Thanks for letting me know.  So far I have only tried the squares with the new stitches, but I should venture off and do something else.

    I've discovered that bamboo stitch is very good for hats and gives an almost crocheted look. Thank you for posting this pattern.

    Yes, according to my chart it is.

    This pattern was a multiple of two, and I think 34 stitches would be pretty close to the 8".  And looking back, I think I did it right after all.  This was on size 10's, I think that is the same as 6mm?

    I had a go with doubled UK acrylic and 32 stitches was just under 8" on 6mm needles. I made a second one in a different make of yarn and tried 34 stitches which in my knitting was exactly right. I like the reverse side of the pattern too, and I'm doing a stripy one with the pattern slightly staggered  - lots of possibilities with this pattern. I am wondering now if it would make good hats so I'll try that next.

    Thanks for the idea.

    I did, but it came out a little smaller - so I would add 4 or 5 stitches to it next time.  I think I did 32, so I would probably go to 36.  I can check when I get home - the stitch a day calendar is there.

    It is knitted, and actually feels very warm.  And thanks for the lovely comments everyone!

    That's a very pretty stitch whatever it's called and it's knitted right?  I like it!
