My name is Fariba. Knitting is my passion since I was a little kid.

Tutorial 1 – how to cast on
The first step of knitting is casting on. Casting on means making the base row of loops that will allow us to make a knit fabric by connecting new loops in following rows. The number of loops that you need to cast on depends on the project you wanna work on and also on your yarn size. As you… Read more: Tutorial 1 – how to cast on
Stockinette stitch
The very simple fabric that is made of basic knit and purl stitches is called stockinette stitch. It means after you cast on number of stitches, you knit the first row with Knit stitch and knit the second row (return row) with Purl stitch. You repeat to do Knit stitch for all odd rows, like row… Read more: Stockinette stitch

Hello and welcome!
Fariba here from WatchKnitting. In today’s video, I’ll show you how to work this stunning textured chevron pattern.

🧶 Pattern Basics

Multiple: 16 stitches + 2
Repeat: 6 rows
Start on the wrong side
Row 1 and all odd-numbered rows: Purl across
Pattern rows: Row 2, 4, and 6 (all knit stitches with crossed stitches)

The pattern is created using simple crosses over two stitches:

C2L (Cross 2 Left): Knit the stitch underneath, slip the one on top
C2R (Cross 2 Right): Similar technique, but leaning in the opposite direction

🔁 Row Breakdown

Row 1, 3, 5: Purl across

Purl across, picking up the edge stitch at the beginning and finishing with a knit stitch.
Tip: Keep your purl stitches loose to help minimize curling. From Row 3 onward, make the slipped stitches even looser when purling.

Row 2 – Where the magic begins!

We begin shaping the chevron lines.

Slip the edge stitch
Row 2: [C2L, K1] x2, C2L, C2R, [K1, C2R] x2
End with K1 for the edge

Tip: The right-leaning lines are made with C2R; left-leaning lines with C2L. Pay close attention in the center—there’s no knit stitch between the two center crosses

Row 4 – Shifting the lines

We shift the stitches by one:

Slip the edge stitch
Row 4: K1, [C2L, K1] x2, K2, [K1, C2R] x2, K1
End with K1 for the edge

Note: This row marks the midpoint where the lines meet and begin to shift inward.

Row 6 – Final row of the repeat

We shift the pattern once more by adding another knit stitch at the beginning:

Slip the edge stitch
Row 6: K2, [C2L, K1] x2, [K1, C2R] x2, K2
End with K1 for the edge

By now, the lines have shifted closer together, creating that beautiful chevron effect.

🌀 Pattern Logic

After Row 6, return to Row 1.

New crosses are introduced in Row 2, which starts with three knit stitches
Rows 4 and 6 shift the lines gradually inward
Once you understand the rhythm, the pattern becomes intuitive and easy to follow!

💬 Final Thoughts

I hope you give this pattern a try and enjoy working on it. Thanks so much for following along! Stay tuned for more cozy tutorials, and as always—
have a wonderful day!
