How to make the Spring stitch
Short video: How to make the Spring stitch.
- Move the yarn to the back of the work.
- Insert the right-hand needle into the next stitch on the left-hand needle.
- Wrap the yarn around both needles 10 times, using the tip of your right thumb to hold the yarn in place.
- Knit the stitch as usual, then carefully pull the new stitch through the loops.
- Gently pull the working yarn to coil the loops close to the needle.
PatternInstructions
Cast on 41 stitches.
The pattern includes 6 rib stitches on each side (12 stitches in total), which caused the scarf to curl. I recommend replacing the rib stitch with another stitch to prevent this issue.
