Hello everyone, Fariba here from Watch Knitting with another easy tutorial! 🌸
Today, I’ll show you how to knit a beautiful cluster of lotus motifs in just 4 rows.

Previously, I shared a [Lotus Stitch Tutorial] where I demonstrated a different method to create larger lotus motifs lined up across 4 rows. In this lesson, we’ll use a new technique that gives a softer, clustered effect perfect for a variety of projects.

🧶 Materials You’ll Need

  • Yarn: Worsted weight yarn (or your choice)
  • Needles: 2.5 mm (you can size up for a more airy fabric)
  • Sample: 16 stitches cast on

👉 Pro tip: If you’d like a softer, more drapey fabric, try working with larger needles.

✨ Where to Use This Stitch

This lotus cluster stitch is versatile and works beautifully in many projects, including:

  • Cardigans & women’s sweaters
  • Baby blankets
  • Hats & scarves
  • Throws & cushion covers
  • Shawls & wraps

📐 Stitch Pattern Details

  • Multiple: 2 stitches
  • Repeat: 4 rows + 1 setup row

📝 Written Instructions

Setup Row (WS): Purl all stitches

Row 1 (RS): Edge, rep [YO, (K2TOG, YO, K2TOG) in next st], edge

Row 2 (WS): Edge, rep [P2TOG], edge

Row 3 (RS): Edge, K1, rep [YO, (K2TOG, YO, K2TOG) in next st], K1, edge

Row 4 (WS): Edge, P1, rep [P2TOG], P1, edge

Repeat Rows 1–4 for the pattern.

🔍 Tips & Notes

  • On Row 2 and Row 4, make sure to keep track of your yarn overs — they’ll help you align the motifs correctly.
  • Use steam blocking with a low iron to relax the fabric and highlight the lotus clusters.
  • This stitch creates a 3D textured fabric that looks especially stunning in light or pastel colors.
