KnittingStockinette Stitch
Description
St st denotes Stockinette Stitch, a fundamental knitting pattern creating a smooth fabric with V-shapes on the front and bumpy ridges on the back.
Detailed explanation
Stockinette stitch produces a sleek, professional fabric commonly found in sweaters and socks. The right side features smooth columns of knit stitches, while the wrong side displays rows of purl bumps. Because this fabric naturally curls at the edges, it typically requires a border such as ribbing or garter stitch to lie flat.
