What you need to know

Let’s work on the next two squares of your buddy blanket. Here we’re introducing beginner knitters to the purl stitch so they can make the jump from garter to stocking stitch. The intermediate design is a relief squares effect, which shows just how creative you can be with only knit and purl stitches.


Apologies, there is a small correction to Row 6 of the Squares Square. You should work to the last st, then p1.

Stocking stitch alternates a row of knit stitches with a row of purl stitches. This creates a knitted fabric that is smooth on the right side (with purl stitches forming the bumpy wrong side).
