Bamboo Stitch – Knit
Although it looks complicated, the bamboo stitch is easy enough for beginners.
All it involves is passing a “yarn over” over 2 knit stitches and the result is a firm fabric with an interesting texture on both sides. It works well with all types of yarn and looks really good using multi-coloured yarn.
Starting a row with a yarn over can be tricky so this sample has a selvage stitch at the beginning and end of each row.
