How to Knit Oblique Moss Stitch, a diagonal pattern

In this blog post, I am sharing the pattern to knit oblique moss stitch.

For myself and other non-native English speakers, oblique means “slanting”, “not parallel” or “another term for slash”.

This moss knitting stitch, creates a diagonal textured look on a stocking stitch background and uses only knit and purl stitches.

CHARACTARISTICS OF THE OBLIQUE MOSS STITCH:

  • Your knitting won’t curl as much as with just a stocking stitch pattern;
  • One way diagonals tend to stretch on the bias;
  • Avoid stretchiness by using twisted yarns.

materials needed:

  • The sample was knit using Elle Double Knit (DK) yarn / Light worsted yarn
  • Knitting Needles according to the thickness of your yarn (I used 4mm, 6US, 8UK)
  • The Pattern

I found the Mary Maxim Baby’s Best Yarn on Amazon that looks similar to what I’ve used:

knitting pattern instructions to knit oblique moss stitch

stitch PATTERN:

Multiples of 5sts.

I knit the sample using 30 sts over 30 rows.

1st Row:   *K4, P1*2nd Row: *P1, K1, P3*3rd Row:  *K2, P1, K2*4th Row:  *P3, K1, P1*5th Row:  *P1, K4*6th Row:  *K1, P4*7th Row:  *K3, P1, K1*8th Row:  *P2, K1, P2*9th Row:  *K1, P1, K3*10th Row: *P4, K1*

Repeat these ten rows until you have 30 rows (or until it is long enough for your knitting item).

Cast off and weave in ends.
