Stocking stitch is one of the most popular knitting stitch patterns. It has a very smooth side and a side that shows little wavey horizontal ridges. So, it entirely depends on your preferences. You simply have to define them at the start of your project.
The same applies to pretty much any other non-reversible knitting stitch pattern out there. The cable stitch is very popular and quite easy to knit, in fact. The backside looks often rather plain. However, there are patterns that make great use of that backside as well, and there are even reversible cables on top of that. Luckily, a great many knitting stitch patterns are reversible: The moss stitch comes to mind, or the rib stitch.
If you turn these around, you will see the exact same design. However, there is one asymmetrical thing remaining: Your cast-on the tail. Normally, you start knitting on the right side.
So, if your cast on tail is dangling down on the right, you are on the right side easy to remember, eh? Still, why bother about the right and wrong side anyway if it looks the same on both sides? Bigger projects will require more than one skein, and you will want to make sure to join in the ball always in a way so the tails are hidden on the wrong side.
You also will weave them in on the wrong side. Also, sometimes you will have to decrease or increase stitches further into your project, and these advanced stitches are usually only done on one side.
However, you can easily knit up to the position where those stitches start, and simply pick either side. Tip: Use a little pin or stitch markers and attach it to your wrong side so you can tell which side you are on at a glance. Most patterns start on the right side. Please be aware that this is not a beginner level pattern. Newer Post Older Post Home. Sometimes I knit an entire row, other times I purl an entire row. Switching to wrong side How-to Questions.

My current proj. Generally speaking, is the right side the odd-numbered rows? So in this example, I finished row 60 an even numbered row and as I turn the work and START row 61, that row 61 is facing me and is the right side?

Right side is facing you while knitting a right side row. I know it seems obvious but this fact had my head in a spin trying to confirm it. Thanks again.. That will depend on your pattern—many times the pattern will state that the first row is the RS or WS.
Hi Anne, Which pattern are you looking at? Usually it will say RS or WS somewhere in the pattern which side is intended to be the right side. Garter stitch results in a reversible fabric — both sides look exactly the same. Share this: Twitter Facebook. Like this: Like Loading Thanks Nancy!
