    How to knit the Horizontal stitch: A reversible two-row repeat pattern

    June 29, 2021 /

    The Horizontal stitch is an adorable two-row repeat pattern, not complicated at all, great for beginners (no purling needed!). Although its sides aren’t identical, both look pretty, and as such this is why its reversible imho. Why? Well, one of the sides features a wavy texture; the other, a bumpy pattern with vertical lines that prevent the fabric from curling 🙂 It’s also easy and fun to knit: One row is a plain knitting row; the other, involves knit stitches and slip stitches, which makes us to progress rapidly… something that we knitters love, don’t we? Bellow are two swatches, both made of 100% cotton yarn for US 6 needles…

    Double Moss stitch and how to control the tension in your knitting

    June 26, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn another classic in the knitting world: The Double Moss stitch, its great for beginners. Sure, it’ll sound familiar for all of us veterans, but I’ve noticed that it’s often mistaken for the Irish Moss stitch. Although at first sight they may seem the same, the main difference is that the term “double” refers to working the stitches in pairs (knit 2, purl 2 and vice versa). On the contrary, when knitting the Irish Moss pattern, the stitches are worked one by one (knit 1, purl 1 and vice versa). So I decided to demonstrate it both in English and Continental style, yes, yes I know,…

    Two-Color Slip-Stitch knitting pattern (no purling required)

    June 23, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the Two-Color Slip-Stitch pattern. A fluffy four-row repeat pattern that doesn’t curl, (and so easy, that there is no need to purl, yay!). It’s a nice option for blankets, baby stuff, but also, any kind of home decorations (table runner, placemats, cushions, etc.). Before anything else, I’d like to share some guidelines to obtain the best results when knitting the two-color slip-stitch pattern: In the first place, although rows 1 and 3, look very similar, as well as rows and 2 and 4, they are indeed different.  So, please pay attention, because it’s easy to get confused the first time you try…

    How to create Illusion or Shadow knitting, step by step

    June 21, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing a pretty special technique: How to knit a fabric that creates a shadow effect or an optical illusion, through texture and color. Even if at first it appears complicated, shadow knitting is actually really easy to do (the only stitches required are knits and purls). Its also endlessly adaptable, the strips can be made as wide as you like, and as many as you need. This is why this kind of fabric is a great option when knitting blankets, cushions, place mats, table runners, bags, or even a scarf for the smaller members of the family. Before anything else, I’d like to give you some…

    Puffy stitch knitting pattern: Versatile and rich in texture

    June 17, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Puffy stitch pattern: A fluffy, cozy stitch, which adds a lot of texture to the fabric. Because of its puffy look, it reminds me of the Fuchsia Flower stitch we practiced a while ago. On one hand, the Puffy stitch is pretty versatile, it can be used to create a single motif, you can also work just a row of puff stitch amongst a Stockinette stitch, or knit all rows of the stitch to make a puffy stitch fabric. It’s ideal for hats, blankets, or parts of a sweater/cardigan (like the sleeves, or the front/fronts). On the other hand, it’s easier…

    How to knit the Rickrack Rib stitch: A two-row repeat pattern that doesn’t curl

    June 12, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the famous Rickrack Rib stitch (which reminds me of the beautiful Feather Rib stitch). First of all, it’s a reversible pattern (although its sides are not identical, both create two eye-catching textures), and furthermore, it doesn’t curl… Yay! Secondly, the Rickrack Rib stitch is a unisex stitch: It’ll work perfectly for girls’, boys’ of all ages, and children’s garments too.  In addition, it has a double rich texture to it: One of the sides forms embossed zig-zag columns; the other looks similar to the Textured Stockinette stitch. Consequently, it’s a charming option for knitting the cuffs of your sweaters and socks, gloves,…

    Cell stitch: A four-row repeat lace pattern for knitting tops/blouses

    June 8, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the Cell stitch (I posted it on Instagram last week, and many of you are loving it)! It’s a four-row repeat pattern, ideal for knitting not only Summer tops or blouses, but also hats, scarves, or baby bonnets. What I love about the Cell stitch is that it is easy to memorize and fun to knit; it involves just 2-3 steps that are repeated time and time again (and the even rows are plain purl rows). It reminds me of this lace pattern we practiced a while ago. Ok then, let’s get started! Abbreviations CO: Cast on st: Stitch RS: Right side…
