James' Horizontal Stitch

While knitting stockinette, you can work James' horizontal stitch to turn a row 90 degrees. It is amazingly simple and the results are rather elegant...and fun. Visit jamescoxknits.com and sign up for James' Knit Notes - every issue includes a knitting tip.

I like this stitch when done in contrasting color. Works also when there is 2 stitches in between the horizontal stitch.

What a cute effect! I’m having trouble visualizing how one would go about tinking those stitches though. Might be easier to life line it if push came to shove haha. Thanks for the video!

Sorry for the slow response. Been caught up in selling my house. Tinking this stitch is possible...I've tinked a few rows!!
