June - Ladder Stitch Variation
This a variation of a Ladder Stitch (sometimes called Ladder Rib, Mock Ladder Stitch, or Ladder Panel Stitch depending on the pattern source). It creates vertical columns that resemble the sides of a ladder, with textured "rungs" crossing between them.
Stitch Characteristics
- Creates strong vertical lines.
- Excellent stitch definition in solid or semi-solid yarns.
- Looks intricate but is usually made from a combination of knit, purl, and slipped stitches.
- Lies flatter than traditional ribbing.
- Suitable for scarves, shawls, blankets, sweaters, and cushion covers.
Yarn Suggestions
This stitch looks best with:
- Smooth wool or wool blends
- DK or Worsted weight yarn
- Solid or tonal colours (variegated yarn can hide the ladder effect)
Finished Appearance
- Right Side: pronounced vertical ladders and textured rungs.
- Wrong Side: mostly purl texture with visible slipped-stitch floats.
