How to Knit Rosebud Eyelet Stitch Pattern


The Rosebud Eyelet knit stitch pattern has a garter stitch background.  Eyelets create a circle to replicate a flower, i.e. rosebud, spaced out diagonally in every row.

The stitch is not reversible.

TIPS AND TRICKS WHEN KNITTING LACE STITCH PATTERNS

  • All Lace knitting patterns have openwork, i.e.holes or openings of some sort in the knitting project. 

Openings are created by increasing stitches, ie:

  • yarn overs‘ or 
  • elongated stitches (more of a slit than a hole.)

Increases are followed by decreasing stitch methods, such as k2tog (knit two stitches together) or ssk (slip, slip, knit).

When using k2tog, the decrease will be slanting to the right, whilst ssk creates a left-slanting stitch.

  • To ensure even edges, slip all your first stitches, and at the end of the row, knit into the back loop.
  • Use sharp-tipped knitting needles as rounded needles will make it difficult to knit the 3 stitches together through the back loop.
  • I’d suggest experimenting with the combination of your yarn and needles, to obtain the best tension and pattern.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

  • Double Knit (Yarn weight: Light / Worsted) Elle Yarn
  • Knitting Needle size according to the thickness of your yarn (I used 4mm, 6US, 8UK)
  • Scissors
  • The Pattern

SPECIAL KNIT TECHNIQUES

HOW TO SSK?

SSK – with yarn in the back, slip the next 2 stitches knitwise (one at a time) onto the right needle. Insert the left needle into the front loops of both stitches and insert the right needle through the back loops, then knit the 2 stitches together.
