  • 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 🧶

Today, I’m sharing a beginner-friendly pattern that’s super easy to knit using only basic stitches. It creates a beautifully textured, reversible fabric—and best of all, it’s fully customizable depending on your yarn and stitch count.

✨ The pattern is made in multiples of 6 + 3 + 2 with a 12-row repeat

🔹 Rows 1–3: Ribbing

  • Row 1 starts with an edge stitch, then we repeat: Knit 3, Purl 3 across the row. End with Knit 3 and your edge stitch.
  • For all rows, I slip the edge stitch at the start and knit it at the end to keep the edges neat.
  • Row 2: Start with Purl 3, Knit 3, repeat across. End with Purl 3 and the edge stitch.
  • Row 3: Same as Row 1—Knit 3, Purl 3 across. Finish with Knit 3 and the edge stitch.
    By now, the rib pattern should feel smooth and familiar!

🔹 Rows 4–6: Stockinette

  • Row 4: Purl across
  • Row 5: Knit across
  • Row 6: Purl across
    Quick tip: check the first 3 stitches to confirm your row direction—it’s an easy way to stay on track.

This completes the first 6 rows and sets the stage for the offset rib section.

🔹 Rows 7–9: Offsetting Rib

To add texture, we now flip the rib starting point:

  • Row 7: Start with Purl 3, Knit 3 across. This intentional offset creates the reversible effect. End with Purl 3 and edge stitch.
  • Row 8: Knit 3, Purl 3 repeat across. End with Knit 3 and edge stitch.
  • Row 9: Back to Purl 3, Knit 3 across. Finish with Purl 3 and edge stitch.

🔹 Rows 10–12: Stockinette

  • Row 10: Knit across
  • Row 11: Purl across
  • Row 12: Knit across

🎉 That’s the full 12-row repeat! You can continue repeating from Row 1 as many times as you’d like.

This pattern creates a gorgeous texture using only basic stitches. It’s ideal for scarves, blankets, skirts, or even as a decorative border for larger projects.

Thanks so much for knitting along with me!
Stay cozy, stay creative—and see you soon for more fun tutorials 💕
