Little Ladders Stitch

Little Ladders Stitch takes us back to basics with simple knits and purls. Once you’ve worked a few repeats, vertical columns begin to form! These are due to tension changes from the purls and are part of the simple magic of knitting!

Little Ladders Stitch is worked across multiples of 6 stitches and is not reversible.

For a very similar stitch (without vertical columns), see Caterpillar Stitch.

Setup
