How to Knit the Stockinette Stitch

The stockinette stitch is one of the most basic and most common knitting stitches or knitting pattern. The stockinette stitch can be worked with any number of stitches. Sometimes this stitch is referred to as the stocking stitch.

The stockinette stitch is a series of knit and/or purl stitches knitted in a special way.  You see this stitch everywhere - sweaters, scarfs, socks, hats, blankets, etc.
