Today we’re going to learn how to knit the Rectangular Garter stitch together. A knit stitch that’s perfect for those looking for a jumper or a scarf and why not, with over-the-top chunkiness too! Its structure of full and empty spaces gives the finished piece a nice soft and voluminous texture. The yarn that has been used is Piuma in the Shibori print. Loads of other colours are available on our shop and lots of other yarns too!

Let’s get started.
