Bamboo stitch is a unique and easy-to-knit stitch that will give your project a wonderful textured look and one of the best things about this stitch is its simplicity. It involves yarn over and slipping the yo stitch over two knit stitches. It sounds more complicated than it actually is. The stitch pattern knits up to be stretchy and is a very quick knit.
