Stitch Description
The knotted boxes is a heavily textured knitting fabric. It creates the illusion of smooth vertical stripes woven with bumpy horizontal rows. To some it may look like small offset knots, making a pattern of checkered boxes. Either way, this all-over pattern works great on large pieces of fabric, where it can really shine.
Use this on blankets, pillows, scarves, or washcloths

The video says the pattern is worked over multiples of 6 + 5. However, the written instructions say that is worked over 11 sts on a background of St st. Nowhere in the video instructions does it say that it is worked with a background of st. st.
It’s 6 + 5. The post was a typo. I’ve corrected it now. Thanks for catching that.
Should this stitch be worked with a background of stocking stitch, or is it an overall stitch like basket stitch? The video seems to indicate that it is an overall stitch, yet the written instructions say it has a background of st st.
It’s an all over stitch. There was a mistake in the post.
