Knitted Rosehip Stitch

The knitted Rosehip stitch is a delightful textured pattern that resembles small, raised bumps that look just like rosehips on a vine. It adds a lovely touch of whimsy to any knitting project, from scarves to blankets. The best part is, once you get the hang of it, it's surprisingly easy and fun to create. So grab your needles and yarn, and let's dive into the wonderful world of the knitted Rosehip stitch!

Stitches Used

• K – knit
• P – Purl
• Sl1pwyf – slip one purl wise with yarn in front
• Sl1pwyb – slip one purl wise with yarn behind
• WS – Wrong Side
• RS – Right Side

Pattern Repeat

Foundation Row: Cast on a multiple of 4+3. (I like to use the Long Tail method)

Row 1 (RS): k3, *sl1pwyb, k3* repeat from*to* until the end of the row.

Row 2 (WS): k3, *sl1pwyf, k3* repeat from*to* until the end of the row.

Row 3: k1, *sl1pwyb, k3* repeat from *to* until 2 stitches remain, sl1pwyb, k1.

Row 4: k1, *sl1pwyf, k3* repeat from *to* until 2 stitches remain, sl1pwyb, k1.

Repeat Rows 1-4 until your project is the desired size. When casting off, you’ll get the neatest result if you cast off knit-wise after a Row 1 (i.e. – cast off knit wise instead of working Row 2)
