Eiffel Tower Stitch Eyelet Knitting Pattern

Bonjour, let’s learn how to Knit the Eiffel Tower Stitch. With a series of yarn overs, knits, and purls, we will create this tres chic vintage stitch pattern both flat and in the round.

Eyelets are holes within a swatch of fabric. The Eiffel Tower shape emerges atop a base of the reverse stockinette texture in alternating rows. Ooh la la!
