How to Knit the Bamboo Stitch
Bamboo stitch is a fun and quirky stitch pattern that cleverly uses yarn overs to create a texture resembling bamboo stalks - hence the name!
Bamboo stitch is perfect for smaller projects that call for lots of texture, particularly for little washcloths, table mats etc - even better when paired with a simple garter stitch edging.
For those of you that prefer a visual guide, I have attached a link to the video tutorial at the bottom of this post - I hope you find it useful!
