Pyramid Stitch Pattern | Knit with Aabhar

Pattern Description

---

Pyramid Stitch is a unique cable knitting pattern that creates repeating and stacked motifs of stockinette pyramids. The pyramid motifs are subtle over a textured background with inverted garter stitch pyramids. The raised edge effect is created by two special cable stitches, Right Twist (RT) and Left Twist (LT). These are also called the 1/1 Right Cross, and 1/1 Left Cross stitches, respectively which are basically 1 over 1 cable stitches.

Pyramid Stitch Knitting Pattern is perfect for knitting men’s pullovers as it gives a nice texture to the overall knitted fabric.
