Help for this knitting stitch

Hello everyone !

I’m sorry to ask but I have been trying to replicate this stitch for hours.
I don’t think it is a moss stitch… It is way more “flat”.
Could you help me please ?

I think it could still be double/Irish moss; looking at pics on Google shows it might look different in various tensions and yarn content? This yarn looks a little airy to me (seems to have some mohair content).

It’s a mix of mohair and acrylic yarn, that’s right.
Maybe the blocking changed the texture a bit too.

Thank you so much for your answer !

No problem! I hope if I’m wrong that you do find out what it is.

Welcome to the forum laurie and dont worry about english. We are here from all around world, some (me, me ) have english problem too. Not here, people here have wonderful hearths and soul even better minds.

I might be wrong but it looks like it is double irish moss stitch and 3rd row knit all
1 row RS k1, p1 to the end
2 row WS p1, k1 to the end
3 row RS knit to end

I might be wrong btw

Thank you ZKOhio.

I’ve tried your explanation but I guess I didn’t understand it right. Oops !

As I understand it :

Even number of stitches and
Row 1 = k1,p1
Row 2 = p1, k1
Row 3 = knit all

However with this uneven number of rows, my pattern changes every 3 rows (once its in the RS, once its in the WS). What would be the fourth row in your explanation so the pattern doesn’t change ?

Sorry, I’m still getting used to the English terminology

As i told you im not sure but it looks like that way from picks that it has only 3 row of knit stitch. If is work in the round than your pattern dont change, and has 3 row repeat. Did you try to see how it looks, and btw add edge stitches. :blush:

Maybe the chart in this tutorial for American or Irish Moss will help (about 1/4 of the way down the page). It’s basically this stitch with the addition of a knit row every 3rd row. Row 1, row 2, knit row, row 3, row 4, knit row and so on. Because it’s a 3 row pattern sometimes the pattern row will start on a RS row and sometimes on a WS row if you’re knitting back and forth.

Thank you so much for the help !

I’ve tried before but I didn’t understand right, that’s why the result was bad.
I will try now again =)

Thanks so much and sorry for my questions

Hi Laurie,
Welcome. I come here and I don’t knit at all. I do crochet though. I come just to see how helpful everyone is. There is so much love here. Lots of problem solving going on too. Good luck with your project.
