Textured stitch patterns add interest to your knit garments. We often think it’s too complicated to work patterns like this, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Today we’ll teach you to knit the triangle stitch pattern, it creates a combination of little flags of stockinette and seed stitch patterns.
This stitch is much easier to do than it looks, because all you need to know is how to knit and purl.
Worked in multiples of 16 stitches. This stitch pattern is not reversible.
Row 1: *purl 1 stitch, knit 7 stitches, (purl 1 stitch, knit 1 stitch), repeat instructions between parentheses 4 times*.
Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 2: *purl 2 stitches, (knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch), repeat the instructions between parentheses 3 times, purl 6 stitches, knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch*.
Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 3: *purl 1 stitch, knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch, knit 5 stitches, (purl 1 stitch, knit 1 stitch), repeat the instructions between parentheses 2 times, purl 1 stitch, knit 3 stitches*.
Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 4: *purl 4 stitches, (knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch), repeat the instructions between parentheses 2 times*.
Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 5: *purl 1 stitch, (knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch), repeat the instructions between parentheses 2 times, knit 3 stitches, purl 1 stitch, knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch, knit 5 stitches*.
Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 6: *purl 6 stitches, knit 1 stitch, purl 3 stitches, (knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch), repeat the instructions between parentheses 3 times*.
Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 7: *purl 1 stitch, (knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch), repeat the instructions between parentheses 4 times, knit 7 stitches*.
Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 8: Same as row 6.
Row 9: Same as row 5.
Row 10: Same as row 4.
Row 11: Same as row 3.
Row 12: Same as row 2.
Repeat rows 1 through 12 until you reach the desired length.
We love this stitch! 🙂 How about you?
The texture is emphasized when knit with our petite wool, it would be perfect for a cozy scarf.

I do not have instagram or twitter – I did give this stitch a try. What a fun texture. Will put a picture on blog – and link back to your pattern.
I cannot help wonder if it would make a nice dishcloth ….
thanks!
Definitely do! We look forward to seeing what you create 🙂
This is a beautiful stitch. How many stitches would I have to cast on to make a scarf approximately 6 inches wide? And how many balls of yarn would I need for a scarf approx 6 inches wide and 5-6 feet long?
Thanks.
PS. I’m very pleased with the Dragonfly blanket kit and the pretty aquamarine cotton yarn. I’m looking forward to trying it out.

Ever since I saw your wool & got on your email list I have gotten more interested in knitting, crocheting again 🙂 the only downfall I have is money & carpal tunnel syndrome 🙁 so when I have my surgery I will recooperate & get back into it. I can’t wait to do this stitch! I also love the color. Thanks for all that you do for your fellow knitters! 🙂
Hi Lisa!
