    How to knit the Horseshoe Cable stitch pattern

    June 27, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Horseshoe Cable stitch, one of the cable patterns I love! It’s a six-row repeat pattern, and the right cross and left cross will repeat every 5 rows, so we’ll have a lot of plain knit + purl rows (“resting rows”). In order to cross stitches, we’ll need a “cable needle”; a third needle of the same size, or a stitch holder. However, you can also use a Bobby pin or hairpin, if you don’t have any of the above (use whatever short and easy-to-handle pin/ needle/holder/husband that works for you). Finally, don’t forget to take a look at my Tips for Cable Knitting…

    How to knit the Lace Columns stitch: For scarves and tops

    June 24, 2023 /

    In this post, you’ll learn how to knit the Lace Columns stitch, easy and fun to do. It’s a four-row repeat pattern, and its vertical design, is perfect for scarves, wraps or throws, seasonal tops, cardigans, or even sweaters. In fact, it’s similar to the Zig-Zag Lace nº 2 we practiced a while ago, yet easier 😉 The only techniques required are knit, purl, the most common decrease, and a simple increase, so there’s no reason to panic! Additionally, it’s a versatile stitch: Work with cotton yarn, bamboo, linen (or their blends), and you’ll create a light S/S garment. #ad However, if you want a warmer piece, substitute the yarns…

    How to knit a Square or Rectangular Blanket

    June 21, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a blanket or to use the scientific term blankie, using the Garter stitch 🙂 Honestly, it’s been a while since I published my last blanket pattern, and this one is definitely fun!  Easy to do, and pretty flexible… Actually, there are several reasons why: Firstly, there’s no specific gauge suggested, although I’m sharing a pattern that calls for worsted-weight yarn, you can use whatever you have on hand. The magic of this blanket is that it starts and finishes with the same number of stitches for any size (from a doll blanket to an adult blanket). And you decide how big it’s going to…

    How to knit the Beaded Rib (two rows, reversible, and doesn’t curl!)

    June 14, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Beaded Rib stitch; an adorable two-row repeat pattern, perfect for beginners! Why? Firstly, it’s a super easy knit and purl stitch pattern (no need to cross, increase, or decrease stitches). Secondly, it doesn’t curl, so we don’t need to think of adding edges or borders. Actually, this is a great pattern for edges… As you already know, every time you are working on a pattern that bends or rolls, you need a nice edge to prevent the garment from curling. And as knitters, we are used to the Garter or Seed stitch for those edges. Well, you can add this one…

    How to knit a Fancy Honeycomb Brioche stitch (a 3D pattern)

    June 7, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit a Fancy Honeycomb Brioche stitch 🙂 Without a doubt, this is one of those luxury patterns, that features texture and volume (such as the 3D Honeycomb stitch we practiced a while ago). In addition, this variant of the Honeycomb Brioche is a pattern that will work for a wide range of projects, using different sorts of fibers: From cotton yarn to linen or bamboo, wool yarn, etc. However, if you decide to knit a garment that should stay flat, add a nice edge on each side of the piece. Ok, grab your needles, and some yarn, and let’s knit something amazing! Abbreviations…

    How to knit the Checker stitch (it lays flat)

    June 3, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Checker stitch, with knits and purls only. It’s a simple yet pretty pattern, easy to do, and great for beginners (there are no increases or decreases). Additionally, the Checker stitch has a lovely texture to it, and although it’s not reversible, both sides look pretty. Similar to the Embossed Blocks stitch we practiced a while ago, it stays flat no matter what; so there’s no need to add an edge or border. Which makes it perfect for scarves, infinite cowls, blankets, hats, but also for a sweater or cardigan. Without further ado, grab your needles, and some yarn, and let’s get busy! Abbreviations…
