What is a stockinette stitch? This stitch uses simple knitting stitches: KNIT stitches on the right side and PURL stitches on the wrong (sometimes called left) side. Basically, you knit one row and you purl one row. You continue to alternate knit & purl rows until your garment reaches the size you want. Keep in mind that this stitch is two-sided and both sides look distinctively different. In summary, the right side is smooth and the stitches look like little Vs; the left side is bumpy due to purl stitches that form it (they look like little rows of dashes).
