The tuck stitch is a decorative stitch that requires a stitch to be unraveled several rows and then reknit. The techniques sounds scary but it is easy to execute. Working this stitch will give you practice in repairing accidentally dropped stitches.
Tuck Stitch
Don’t worry about it especially if it will be hidden in a seam. Happy knitting!
Any tips on tightening the one last knit stitch after the tuck stitch at the end of the row? I am ending up with a very uneven “bumpy” panel at the end of knit tuck rows because the last knit loop becomes very loose before i knit into it. Any suggestions? Or should I not worry about it ?
My best guess is that after you drop down the stitch, enter the strands from the wrong side of the work and then purl them together.
I am looking for directions to do a tuck stitch purlwise, but haven’t found them anywhere. Can you help??
Thank you for the video on the tuck stitch. Very clear and helpful!
There are many patterns using this stitch. I used in in my newest book, Building in Color.
Where can I find the written instruction to this pattern “tuck stitch”?
Sounds like you will be creating your own special version. Good luck!
I’ve been working on creating a pattern for a scarf that a big retailer created! The scarf requires this technique however instead of knitting into the stitch you purl into it! I haven’t been able to find the abbreviation for a tuck stitch done purl wise? Is there one?
I will be including the Tuck Stitch in my new book that will feature colorwork techniques. Look for it in January 2014.
