Hurdle Stitch

The Hurdle Stitch Pattern is a simple stitch pattern that consists of only knit and purl stitches. It’s the perfect beginner-friendly stitch pattern and it can be used for a wide range of projects, from knit baby blanket patterns to garments and shawls. In this video, knitting designer Jen Lucas demonstrates how to knit the Hurdle Stitch

The pattern is worked over an even number of stitches as follows:

Row 1 (RS): Knit all sts.
Row 2 (WS): Knit all sts.
Row 3: *K1, p1; rep from * to end.
Row 4: *K1, p1; rep from * to end.

Rep Rows 1 – 4 for pattern.

The pattern looks great on both the Right Side and Wrong Side of the fabric, making it a great choice for knitted blanket patterns. Use it on a scarf to create a stunningly simple reversible accessory. What do you think of this stitch pattern? Let us know in the comments!
