Fishnet Lace Knitting Stitch Pattern
Welcome to Day 5 of the 21 Days of Lace Knit Stitches Series!
Learn how to knit this fishnet lace knit stitch in the video tutorial below. It looks like a simple pattern, but this one is a more advanced lace knit stitch. It’s only 3 stitches {None of them are purl stitches!} and has a nice rhythm when you get going.
We’re going to kick it up a notch on this stitch! The fishnet lace stitch has YO’s on the front and back making it a little tricky, I definitely had to pay attention.
Materials:
Size US 17 {12mm} Knitting Needles
Yarn: Lana Grande by Cascade Yarns

Advanced Pattern, Knit Flat with a Clean Edge:
CO in multiples of 2 +2 STS
For my swatch I CO 12 STS
Row 1 {WS}: WYIF S1PW *YO, K2TOG TBL* WYIF S1PW
Row 2 {RS}: K1TBL *SKP, YO* K1TBL
Repeat rows 1-2 until desired length.
Tip:
Place a removable stitch marker on the front, so you know which side you’re on. {Without having to think too hard.} ;)
On Row 1, be careful not to lose the first YO stitch. When creating it, I place my right index finger on the YO while I’m knitting the next STS together, so it stays in place.
I like this stitch because it looks like netting and I think it has lots of summer knitting pattern potential!
Using the Fishnet Lace Knit Stitch:
It lays nice and flat, no curling.
Increase and decrease on the same row, so the stitch count is the same on all rows.
The stitch leans to the left, naturally.
I think this stitch would benefit from blocking to help shape it and even out the stitches.
Save this for later!
