The Sand Stitch Knitting Pattern creates punctuated rows of little bumps for an easy texture. This 2-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern is a beginner level project that is a great choice for knitting up impressive blankets, pillows, scarves, and more.
This is not a reversible pattern because the right side of the work displays the design, but the wrong (back) side does not. In fact, the wrong side of this pattern is the Broken Rib Stitch texture! Please continue reading to get all your materials, techniques, and written pattern instructions to knit this pattern both flat on straight needles and in the round on circular needles.
