Is the garter stitch the same as the knit stitch?
Garter stitch is the first stitch you'll learn when you're starting out with knitting. When knit flat it consists solely of the knit stitch. Garter stitch lies flat and is totally reversible, meaning that both sides look the same. Garter stitch is made up of alternating rows of knits and purls.30 Dec 2018
