stockinette stitch

Stockinette stitch is a common knitting pattern where you alternate rows of knit stitches on the right side and purl stitches on the wrong side. When viewed from the front, it creates a smooth, uniform fabric with a series of V-shaped stitches, giving it a clean and professional appearance. The stitch is flexible, drapey, and commonly used in garments like sweaters and scarves. It is simple to learn, making it popular for both beginners and experienced knitters, and it develops a distinctive, balanced texture that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
