Hello everyone,

Does anyone perhaps have a "better side" when knitting stockinette stitch? For example, are the purl stitches looser than the knit stitches?

Then an extra knitting needle half a size, or possibly even a full needle size, thinner than the "normal" knitting needle size you are using can help. In this case: knit the row with the knit stitches using the normal needle size, and knit the wrong side row with the purl stitches using the slightly thinner needle.

Wishing you a beautiful stitch pattern.

Best regards,
Traudelina

Don’t be afraid—that’s my tip. Have you seen a great cable pattern somewhere but don’t think you can do it? Just give it a try! The stitches won’t bite you; the worst that can happen is that you’ll have to rip out a few rows. The best thing that can happen is that you’ll pull it off.
