About the Little Raindrops Stitch Pattern
- Row Repeat: Knit up the Little Raindrops Stitch in a simple 4-row repeat.
- Stitch Techniques: A series of easy knits and purls create the textured pattern with alternating rows of 1×1 ribbing.
- Easy-to-Memorize: As we are knitting just two alternating series of knits and purls, this texture is easy to knit on the go. You can memorize the pattern without needing to refer to the written pattern.
- Lays Flat: It is a favorite stitch choice because this pattern easily lays flat.
- Reversible: This is a reversible pattern both the right side and wrong sides of the work display the design equally. This makes for a great pattern choice for knitted items that show off both sides of your work, like scarves or blankets.
- Knitting Projects: Easily adds a unique texture to knitting projects when designing blankets, scarves, and hats.
