Tassel Stitch Video Tutorial

Heidi from Hands Occupied walks you through how to knit the tassel stitch.

There’s a new knitting stitch tutorial up on the Hands Occupied YouTube Channel! Learn how to knit the Tassel Stitch, which knits up into a flexible, wearable fabric with a clear right and wrong side. This advanced beginner-friendly stitch pattern is worked over 12 rows & a multiple of 6 stitches plus 1. Looking at the swatch in the photos, I can’t stop thinking about how cute this stitch would be in a close-fit pullover sweater. (Specifically, something like this but long sleeved.)

Tassel Stitch Video Tutorial

Here’s the video itself! Like I said, I think this one would be so great for a sweater, but what do you think – what projects would suit this stitch well?

TASSEL STITCH PATTERN

Knitting skill level: Easy

CO a mult of 6 sts + 1
1. (RS)
*k4, p2; rep from * to last st, k1.
2. (WS) p1, *k2, p4; rep from * to end of row.
3. rep row 1.
4. rep row 2.
5. *loop, k1, p2, k3; rep from * to last st, k1.
6. p1, *p3, k2, p2tog; rep from * to end of row.
7. k1, *p2, k4; rep from * to end of row.
8. *p4, k2; rep from * to last st, k1.
9. rep row 7.
10. rep row 8.
11. k3, *loop, k1, p2, k3; rep from *, ending k1.
12. *p1, k2, p2tog, p2; rep from * to last st, p1.
Rep rows 1-12. (12 rows)

Special stitch note: Within the Tassel Stitch, other stitches are worked. A special stitch (a.k.a. not your run of the mill knit or purl 2tog) is used to achieve the Tassel Stitch, and it’s called a loop. By definition (source: https://bit.ly/31cnubx though in row 11 my pattern differs, I believe fixing a minor error), a loop in the Tassel Stitch is worked as follows. “Put right-hand needle through between the 4th and 5th stitches and draw through a loop.” I demo it in the video as well. 👍🏻

P.S. New to this stitch? Shout out to Knittingfool.

Isn’t finding a new stitch fun? 🤓 I originally encountered this stitch on a delightful website that you should really bookmark: Knittingfool. They’re not a sponsor, just a very useful website for folks who love finding new stitches, and I don’t think enough people are aware of this great knitting resource.

You can conveniently look up stitches by name, stitch count, row count, and appearance. There’s a gallery of thumbnails in color too, which makes finding the right stitch easy. (Note: The patterns aren’t written in Craft Yarn Council format, but their styling is pretty easy to understand.)

    Looks easy enough. I want to make a wide wide scarf with pockets, so this would be nice to try. Thanks Heidi! Stay well.

“You’re telling me words can be pronounced in “You’re telling me words can be pronounced in different ways and mean the same things?!” 👀 Posting this here, just to make it clear: when anyone says skayne, skeen, or skyne, it can be safely assumed we’re talking about a bundle o’ yarn,  a SKEIN. It’s not necessary to shame someone for using a word that is known to have MULTIPLE common pronunciations. 🧶
.
.
Can you plz comment sharing how you say SKEIN and where you learned it? The OED happens to say SKAYNE, but it’s not a personal attack if someone says SKEEN and you say SKYNE or even Saskatoon. I’m legitimately curious. We don’t all knit or crochet the same way, and craft evolves a bit like language - it is passed on. There is so much value in having conversations about & embracing these variations! ✌🏻

Here’s the latest mediocre-but-improving result of my slow quest to learn to set vintage inspired curls. 💇🏼‍♀️ I’m hoping to be able to wash my hair less using a regular vintage set, but we’ll see if it ends up being practical. 😆 Hair frustrates me so much more than crafts!

Do you also style your hair using vintage methods? If you have any tips for vintage hair styling or good resources to share, please do!
