About the Pennant Pleating Stitch

Let’s take a close look at our Pennant Pleating Stitch Pattern, seeing exactly how those knits and purls are knitted together to make this graphic design.

Knit and Purl Design

Each 6-stitch column is stacked atop each other with a simple combination of knits and purls, so the stitches create a pleated, overlapping texture.

Reversible Stitch

This is a reversible pattern, meaning that both sides of your work, the Right and Wrong sides, are identical.
