Knitted Triangle Stitch — Easy 12-Row Repeat for Scarves, Blankets & More

The Knitted Triangle Stitch produces a charming repeated triangular texture that's elegant yet simple to work. This 12-row repeat is worked flat and is ideal for blankets, scarves, shawls or any project where you want a subtle geometric texture. The pattern is worked in multiples of 12 stitches and is easy to memorize once you've completed a repeat or two.

Notes: I used US size 8 needles and Premier Yarn Anti-Pill Everyday Worsted in Admiral Blue.

Repeat rows 1–12 for the pattern. For a neat edge, consider adding a border (for example, a few stitches of garter or seed stitch) before and after the patterned repeats. Make a small swatch first to check your tension and to see how the triangular texture appears at your gauge.
