How to Knit a No-Purling Rib Stitch + Video (1 row!)
Today, you’ll learn how to knit a No-Purling Rib stitch, in 3 simple steps… It’s a one-row repeat pattern, and it has a lot of advantages to it: First of all, it’s super easy to knit and memorize: You’ll keep repeating the same 3 steps throughout the work.

How to Knit a Raglan Sweater with Straight Needles + Video

The good news is that the back and the front are the same, as the sleeves. So you’ll knit one of them and then repeat the process for the second one. Furthermore, there’s no need for the circular needles (not even for the neckline)… easy-peasy! Actually, after sharing another lovely sweater pattern…
