The Woven Ladders Stitch in the round is a beginner-friendly pattern that uses slipped stitches to create its signature ladder-like texture. Because it relies on basic knit and purl techniques, it’s a low-stress project with an easy-to-remember 8-row repeat (plus a multiple of 8). It’s the perfect “TV knitting” project—fast, simple, and satisfying. If you want a quick slipped-stitch design that looks impressive without the effort, give this one a go! Perfect for cowls and infinity scarves.
