    How to knit the Petal stitch, pretty and easy!

    July 29, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Petal stitch, an adorable pattern, ideal for beginners. It has a pretty texture to it, and although it’s an eight-row repeat pattern, it’s super easy to do. In fact, six of those eight rows, are plain knit or purl rows; the little petals are created by knitting one stitch into the row below. I think it’s a nice option when we knitters want to finish a project quickly, but not again using the Stockinette or Garter stitch. The Petal stitch is perfect for sweaters, cardigans, tops, and even hats and socks. Nevertheless, if you want to knit a scarf, a cowl, or any…

    How to knit a Lace Background stitch pattern (4 rows only!)

    July 26, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit and bind off a Lace Background stitch, perfect for S/S scarves, wraps or throws. Although it may seem complex, it’s not; it includes a short repeat (just four steps to be done time and time again). This Lace Background stitch is a four-row repeat pattern, and the techniques required are well known to all knitters. In addition, it’s a pretty versatile pattern: You can create a sturdy fabric, rich in texture, by using a smaller needle size than the ones normally proposed by the manufacturer. However, if you use two or more needle sizes up, as I did for my swatch, the result will…

    How to knit the Garter Rib stitch, great for beginners (two rows only!)

    July 22, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Garter Rib stitch, which shares the DNA of the infamous Mock Rib stitch. It’s a super easy two-row repeat pattern, great for beginners. In fact, if the only stitches you know (or like, or love) are knit and purl, this one is dedicated to you. Although it’s not identical on both sides, they look pretty, so to me, it’s a reversible pattern. Furthermore, it lays flat no matter what, so it’s perfect for blankets, scarves, etc. Nevertheless, you can also use the Garter Rib stitch for edges or borders, because it meets all the requirements, as mentioned above. Last, but not least, don’t…

    How to knit a very special Rib stitch pattern (two rows only)

    July 18, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit a very special Rib stitch, ideal for beginners. Actually, it’s a two-row repeat pattern, easy to do and easy to memorize, and pretty stretchy. Although both sides are not identical, I’d say it’s a reversible stitch, because both sides look pretty. In addition, the only techniques required are knit stitch and purl stitch… And from time to time, we’ll slip one stitch, which helps us create those gorgeous embossed columns of “v’s”. That’s the touch of elegance that makes this Ribbing so unusual 🙂 Finally, this is a great pattern for hems, cuffs, socks, gloves, hats, etc. Enough chatting! Grab your needles,…

    How to knit a super easy lace stitch for beginners (two colors)

    July 12, 2023 /

    In this post, you’ll learn how to knit a four-row repeat lace stitch pattern, perfect for beginners (if you only know the knit stitch, you can do it!). Actually, it’s probably one of the easiest eyelet patterns I’ve shared so far; the only difference is that today, we’re adding a second color: The first three rows are plain knit rows; the last row includes a short repeat (only two steps, yarn over and knit two stitches together). Besides, we don’t have to purl! YEP! This two-color lace stitch is a great option for a Summer project such as a seasonal top, a sweater, or a cardigan, but it also worked…

    How to knit Shetland Lace: Bead stitch (4 rows)

    July 8, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a Bead stitch, one of the easiest from the Shetland Lace pattern collection. Traditionally, Shetland Lace is a very fine knitted fabric, made out of real Shetland ponies wool, used for wedding or christening shawls, scarves, or throws. Although those patterns are exceptionally pretty, some  of them are really intricate… This is why, I’m sharing the Bead pattern with you: A four-row repeat pattern, easy and fun to knit. Honestly, I believe that Shetland Lace is within reach of every knitter! Because it’s Summer, I chose a linen-cotton yarn blend to knit this swatch (worsted weight) #ad Why? Just to show you that Shetland…

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Moss Rib stitch… so cute! It’s a two-row repeat pattern, super easy to do, ideal for beginners, because the only techniques required are knit and purl 😉 Although it’s not identical on both sides, they look pretty, so to me, it’s a reversible pattern. Moreover, it doesn’t curl, which makes it great not only for baby stuff but also for scarves, blankets, cowls, etc. In adittion, it’s a lovely stitch for edges or borders (it’s not as stretchy as a regular Rib). Without further ado, grab your needles, and some yarn, and let’s get ribbing! Abbreviations CO: Cast on RS: Right…
