Stitch Description
The bamboo stitch is a knitting pattern that gives the feeling of looking through a bamboo forest. With its ridged columns, one can image hacking away at these giant poles of grass with a machete. The fabric has a woven look, and its all-over pattern makes this a great stitch for large projects. With its rib-like repeating design, the bamboo stitch will bring a geometric element to everything from blankets to scarves to sweaters.
This is a great stitch for beginner knitters to practice slipped stitches with. It’s easy to remember but won’t get boring.
