HURDLE STITCH for Beginners (Best Beginner Knit Stitches)

Hurdle stitch is a textured pattern created from knits and purls. It consists of rib stitch that’s interrupted by two rows of garter stitch.

This garter ridge resembles the hurdles that horses jump over, which is where the stitch gets its name.

Because it uses only knits and purls, hurdle stitch is great for beginners looking to expand beyond garter and stockinette stitch.

Hurdle stitch lays flat and is reversible and stretchy, making it a good choice for blankets, scarves, sweaters, socks and more!

Hello Davina! Love your tutorials, thanks so much for taking the time to make them. I was wondering, how do you thread the yarn through your hands in this video? Also, are you familiar with levering?

[KarenClemmons]

What kind of knitting needles are you using in this video? I've looked everywhere for them! I love your videos... I'm a new knitter and I've gained so much confidence from watching your amazing tutorials, so thank you very much! 😊

Can you color change with this pattern?

[yelenareyes]

What yarn size and needle size are you using. I am a beginner and so far I’ve learned the knit and purl stitch using bulky yarn and 10mm needles. Thanks for your videos :) they are so helpful to me

Does the cast on amount change for blankets Davina??
