Stitching the Santa Stars: Knitting Stitch

We're back with another addition to our Santa Stars Series! Our newest release is our adorable Trees on Red PJ Santa. Each month, we release a new stitch guide for one of the best-selling Santa Stars by Associated Talents. Follow along and shop the entire collection here.
Red Tree PJ Santa
One of the essential stitches for our Santa Stars is the Knitting Stitch. It is the perfect stitch for sweaters, mittens, pajamas and creates the perfect "knit" look. The stitch is a braid-like, knitted pattern created by double rows of straight stitches slanted in opposite directions. There are many different versions of knitting stitch as seen below.
Take a look at some of our favorite uses of knitting stitch in our recent projects! Try it out on your next piece!
