garter stitch

Garter stitch is a basic knitting pattern created by alternating rows of knit stitches. In this technique, every row is knitted the same way, resulting in a textured, elastic fabric that lies flat and has a subtle, ripple-like appearance. This stitch is often used for beginners due to its straightforwardness and offers a versatile fabric suitable for scarves, blankets, and other projects. Garter stitch is characterized by its stretchiness and warmth, making it a popular choice in various knitting projects. Its simplicity also allows for easy incorporation of colors and patterns.
