Garter Slip Stitch Pattern | Knit with Aabhar

Pattern Description

---

The Garter Slip Stitch Pattern is a versatile textured knitting stitch that’s quite simple to learn and easy to make. If you are a beginner, this stitch looks fancy and is easy to knit, especially if you’ve mastered the basic stitches.

This Garter Slip Stitch Pattern can be made in a single color or in multiple colors. Single-color Garter Slip Stitch is obvious; you just need to follow the pattern using one yarn. In multi-color options, you can make this pattern with either two or three yarn colors. The two-color Garter Slip Stitch pattern is written below; you can follow it as is. If you are working with three colors, A, B, and C, you can either make 2 rows each with the three colors or you can make one row each for colors A, B, and C throughout the pattern.

The knitted fabric has excellent texture, so this stitch is perfect for knitting sweaters, cardigans, and vests.
