Hi, When a pattern says “work 2 rows in stockinette stich”, does it mean work one knit and then one purl, or does it mean to do that twice? i.e. is a stockinette row the knit row AND the purl row? Or is it that you knit the number of rows but just alternate kintting and purling?
Thanks!
Beginner Q re: stockinette
It means to just knit one row and purl one row.
Each trip across the needle is just one row Even if a stitch pattern has 8 rows in it, sometimes you’ll be told to work 3 rows of the sts pattern. If you knit in the round, stockinette is knit every row because you don’t turn to work on the purl side.
