    How to Knit Easy Lace: The Cross Stitch (2-row-repeat)

    May 28, 2020 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit one of the easiest lace stitches I know: The Cross stitch pattern. It’s a two-row repeat pattern; one of those 2 rows is a plain purl row. YAY! Honestly, if you haven’t tried yet knitting lace, this could be a great way to start 😉 Besides, the Lace Cross stitch has a lovely texture to it, and the vertical design makes it perfect for knitting scarves, wraps, rectangular shawls, or a seasonal top. Nevertheless, it tends to curl at the bottom, so think about knitting a nice edge on each side, if your garment is rectangular and should stay flat. This swatch…

    How to fix dropped cast-on stitches (easy knitting trick)

    May 26, 2020 /

    Hello, my little Woolly! In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn an easy trick, to fix dropped cast-on stitches… Simple and effective, it will save you a lot of time 😉 Are you familiar with this scenario…? When knitting the first row, something comes up (the doorbell, the cat leaves you a present, the phone rings… etc.), and we have to leave our work… Or we are knitting this first row too fast, and… We realize that one of the cast on stitches has come undone…Accidentally, we dropped one stitch off, and suddenly there are two  strands between your needles. I don’t know how many times this has happened to me, and…

    May 19, 2020 /

    The Chain stitch is one of those easy knitting patterns, ideal for beginners. Similar to the Hail stitch, it’s a horizontal pattern, not reversible, but it doesn’t curl. A four-row repeat stitch, adorable, delicate, great for knitting baby clothing and accessories (hats, cardigans, blankies, mittens, etc). This is the perfect stitch to practice the easiest decreases and increases that exist in the knitting world, combined with basic knits and purls. Grab your needles and let’s go!

    How many stitches+yarn you need? The Essential Guide (free)

    May 15, 2020 /

    Today, I’m sharing the essential guide to stitches, yarn, and measurements, which will help you when knitting or crocheting a project (rectangular or square). Before knitting (or crocheting) any squared or rectangular project (such as a scarf, a cowl, a blanket, a cushion, a table runner or place mat, etc.), there are some aspects we need to know. For example: Measurements, how many stitches to cast on, how much yarn will be required, is the stitch we love suitable for this project and this yarn? And many, many more questions… This is why I have created a system, a series of steps that will help you find out everything you…

    How to knit the Cross Stitch (for cowls, scarves, and hats)

    May 12, 2020 /

    In today’s tutorial, a gorgeous cross stitch pattern, easy to knit, it has a rich texture to it, and it’s perfect for knitting cowls, scarves, hats, even jumpers and cardigans (for women, men and children). I love it! Similar to the Cross stitch we practiced sometime ago, this one is a four-row repeat pattern, and although it doesn’t curl, it’s better to knit a nice edge on each side (for example in Garter stitch, Seed stitch, or 1×1 Rib stitch), because the stitch crossing makes the sides of the fabric a little bit skewed (it won’t be a straight square or rectangle, it will look more like a parallelogram). But…
