- Ladder stitches create openings which look like ladder. It is a great pattern to used in your Summer sweater. This is a short tutorial video I made in respond to a question send in by a knitter regarding Ladder stitch. In this video, I demonstrated how to cast on 3 new sts that lies directly above the opening as well as how to unravel the drop stitches to form the ladders. Please see the full question and comments at;

I wrote out 2 patterns here for you to try them out;
Pattern one.
Cast on multiple of 6 sts plus 6 (for edging).
knit 3- 4 rows for garter st border.
Begin pattern as follow;
row 1: k3, *yo, k3tog, k3tog; rep from * to last 3 st, yo, k3.
Row 2: Purl.
Row 3: Knit.
Repeat row 2 and 3 until desired length Ending with a wrong side row.
Next row (right side): close off row, K3, *cast on 3 sts, drop the next st off needle, k2; rep from * to last 4 sts, cast on 3 sts, drop the next st, k3.
Knit 2-3 more rows and then bind off. Unravel the dropped sts to form a ladder.
Pattern 2.

This is a new thing for me. Thank you for explaining it so well.
You are so welcome!
I'm not sure why the picture in this video is so poor. It is very clear in my original video before I upload. This is the second time I uploaded this video. The first time I did, it went black. You could only hear the sound.
Super! :)
Hi ! Is it possible to make the ladder wider ? I'm trying to make a sweater with big holes/ladder :)
You could try wrapping the yarn twice. Usually the size of the hole get bigger with bigger yarn and needle.
Hello! This is a beautiful pattern. Forgive me if my math is wrong - but wont this create an increase? If we are knitting k3tog and doing a yarn over, and then casting on 3 more stitches after dropping the yarn over stitch, that will increase one stitch. If i want to keep my stitch count, shouldn't I only cast on two stitches?
it will make more sense when you try it.
after you done the ladder what do you do next?! how do i carry on making ladders?
You can try one of these pattern for practice. You keep making ladder by repeating row 2 and 3. You won't see the ladder until you close it off and unravel them.

@@Knitting4beginner thank you! I'm doing pattern 2 and how do you 'close off the row' ?? I understand that you
1. Knit 3,
2. *cast on 2 st, drop the next st of the left needle,
3.knit 2
4. rep from * to last 3 sts,
can you explain the repeat from *?
@@Knitting4beginner what does rep from * to last 3 sts mean????
It means to repeat instruction that written after * For example,
"*cast on 2 sts, drop the next st of the left needle, k2; rep from * to last 3 sts"
means after you've done cast on 2 sts, drop the next st of the left needle, k2, you then will repeat come after * again which is "cast on 2 st, drop the next st of the left needle, k2". You keep repeating it until you have only 3 sts left on the left needle, then follow the rest of instruction.
Cast off row is the row mentioned above
Where is the pattern?
Hi Cass,

Next row (right side): close off row, K3, *cast on 3 sts, drop the next st off needle, k2; rep to last 3 sts, cast on 3 sts, drop the next st, k3.
Knit 2-3 more rows and then bind off. Unravel the dropped sts to form a ladder.
Pattern 2.
