Lame NOT! Garter Ridge Knit Stitch Pattern Tutorial

Hey everyone, it's Deja from KnitAndCrochetEverAfter.com, and today is the Lame Knot Garter ridge. I give the knot after the foreword, so I say knot lame because 80s was all about knot, or psych, it's where I came up with my name. I like this stitch pattern, I love the texture that the The purl bumps give Very cool texture, very cool for self-striping yarn. Download the pattern below and we'll get started and I'll talk more about it after we're done. Okay, so to start with our lame knot garter ridge, we're gonna do a multiple of any amount of stitches you want. This is super customizable, so any number, you can't do a half stitch, and you can start. So I did eight, just so we can get through it fast, because there's six rows. But it's all easy rows, all knit and purling. Well, really, only one purl, which makes this awesome as well. So our first row, we're just gonna straight up knit all the way across. This one you kind of probably need to keep track of your rows, just because there are so many knit rows before a purl row. There we go. So, our only purl row is row two. After that, it is just knitting for days. So, we're gonna do all purling on row two. If you lose a stitch, fix it. I hope you don't lose stitches on doing knitting and purling through six or just knitting. Gonna give you those purl bumps. First two rows give you the stockinette and the four rows create those purl bumps. So if you're really good at counting your rows and you know the difference between knit and purl and what's making what, you don't need to keep track. I keep track because I just. So, this is row four. It's a little funky right now, but it's about to come together for us. And this is like, why do you even do a video for this? It's pretty simple, right? Like, it's the same stitches over and over. But, I get to show you the finished project so you can see what it looks like and give you some tips and pointers and whatever it may be. Not like I really need to give tips or pointers for this. One row, six, last row. Seeing stitch patterns worked up in kind of a bigger swatch than what I may show right here, or what you may see in a picture. You can kind of see the 3D effect in the back and the front, so I think it's really helpful with the pattern being in a video. So that is all of them. Purl, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit. Yep. You can see how we get those purl bumps and that little straight stockinette. So here's our finished one. And what I find interesting with this now is that the back side looks like straight up purls. You would think like it would kind of be reversible, but it's not. It's full on like you were doing garter stitch the entire time, which I find really cool and interesting because you have the front with the actual stockinette in between. I don't know why. It's like an illusion. I just like it. So. It's not really reversible, but if you like the garter stitch backside, you can do reversible projects. But this is cool for like a beanie, maybe some mittens or arm warmers, that would be neat. Self-striping is cool, this worked out really well for the way these stripes kind of worked out, they kind of went all the way to the edge. But you could also do stripes, so if you did six rows for each one, you would get that kind of same effect. But that is the lame knot garter bridge stitch. I am Deja with Knit and Crochet, ever after, and thank you for watching.
