Knitting Stitch Patterns by Row-Repeat

by Janice Jones

Knitting Pattern by Row Repeats is one way to organize knit stitch patterns by difficulty and make it easier for beginners to find a stitch that is easily doable.

Have you ever found a great knit to try only to find out that it takes 16 rows to complete?  That might not be a game changer, but when you are a beginner, trying to keep track of 16 rows of instructions when you are still struggling with how to make stitches can be daunting.
