How to Knit a 4-row Lace Stitch + Video (Easy & Pretty)
Today, I’m sharing how to knit another pretty 4-row Lace Stitch Pattern (because in Summer, I prefer this kind of “easy lace” stitches. This stitch is part of the Easy Lace Knitting Patterns collection, where you’ll find more one-row, two-row, and 4-row repeat designs. Yes, they are light and airy, but because they look good in linen, bamboo, cotton yarn, or their blends. So there’s no need for touching wool yarn this time of the year 😉 Furthermore, this 4-row lace stitch is not complicated at all; the repeat is intuitive and easy to memorize.

How to Knit the Openwork Garter Stitch (2 patterns + video)
Today, I’m sharing how to knit two variants of the Openwork Garter Stitch.

How to Knit the Alternating Slip Stitch Pattern + video
Today, I’m sharing how to knit the adorable Alternating Slip Stitch pattern. Although it’s similar to the Grass stitch we practiced some weeks ago, I’d say this design is even more special… Why?

I’m sure you’ll memorize it quickly, and that you’ll have fun knitting accessories, sweaters or cardigans. However, this pattern…

How to Knit the Slip Stitch Honeycomb (free + video)
Today, I’m sharing how to knit the gorgeous Slip Stitch Honeycomb Pattern. It has a cute texture to it, which makes it perfect for baby/adult garments, such as blankets, sweaters, hats, socks, etc. Furthermore, it’s a four-row repeat pattern (two of which are plain purl rows), fun to knit and yet easy-peasy! Although both sides aren’t identical, the so-called “wrong side” of the work is similar to the Garter stitch, so I’d say it’s a reversible stitch. This is why the Slip Stitch Honeycomb pattern, will look great on a scarf or an infinite cowl too. Nevertheless, think of adding a nice edge in case you’d like to knit a…
