00:00Hello and welcome to my knit stitch tutorial. I have a free pattern using the
00:06stitch called the Knit Stitch Basket on my website at www.sweetsofties.com. If you
00:15would like the pattern link please check out the link in the description box
00:19below. Before the video portion I'm going to quickly run through some photos to
00:25show you this stitch. It's exactly the same as a single crochet but the
00:31difference is where you insert your hook. The blue dot shows where you insert
00:37your hook for making a regular single crochet. If you insert your hook in
00:42between a stitch instead, which is where the pink dot is, that will make a knit
00:48stitch. So as you can see here this is a single crochet hook insertion.
00:55And this is a knit stitch hook insertion. So today I'm going to show you the knit
01:02stitch which I'm going to be using to make this basket and the free pattern
01:08will be available on my blog so check that out. So for the knit stitch what
01:15you're going to do is insert your hook right into the middle of a stitch. So
01:21instead of us going into the both loops here like say with a regular single
01:29crochet or a double crochet you're going to go into this little V you're actually
01:35going straight into the stitch below. So here I'm going to stick it in yarn over
01:43pull out and then finish it with a single crochet like normal just like so. Let me
01:52do it a few more times. So take your hook instead of going under the two loops go
01:59straight into the little V straight into the stitch. And there you go there's another. So as you can see
02:11when you start going into the stitch it's going to create little V shapes or a heart
02:17shapes if you want to call them that sitting right atop each other and that
02:22creates a really lovely knit knit look effect. And it's particularly nice for
02:31baskets or baskets or home decker and it's also quite a sturdy stitch. So what you're
02:39going to want to be aware of is you try and use a bigger hook in order to make sure
02:47you
02:48have enough space it's very very dense. So I'm going to do a few more again insert your hook into
02:57the V
02:58yarn over pull out single crochet insert your hook into the V yarn over pull out single crochet and one
03:13more
