Master Cobnut/Hazelnut Stitch | How to Knit + design ideas

In this Stitch Expedition, I’m taking you on a thorough deep dive into Cobnut Stitch (also known as Hazelnut Stitch) — a beautifully textured stitch that feels really evocative of the natural world. We’ll knit it flat, talk through what changes if you work it in the round, and I’ll share a few creative ideas for how you might vary modify the stitch pattern and/or use it in your own projects.

I think it’s more helpful to understand how our knitting works, not just how to follow instructions, so in this video we’ll look at what is cobnut stitch, how to work the stitch pattern, as as learn how to vary the stitch pattern creatively, and how you might use this stitch in your knits.

Just so you know, this one’s a proper deep dive —Tight for time? just hop to the stitch demo at 02:16
