garter stitch
Garter stitch is a basic knitting technique created by alternating rows of knit stitches. This results in a fabric that has a distinctive, textured appearance on both sides, making it reversible. Garter stitch is often used for scarves, blankets, and other projects where a stretchy, squishy fabric is desired.
To knit in garter stitch, simply knit every row. This method is beginner-friendly and helps knitters practice their skills. Garter stitch is also commonly used in combination with other stitches, such as in patterns for sweaters or hats, to add visual interest and texture.
