    How to knit the Slip Stitch Rib

    September 13, 2018 /

    An elegant variant of the well known Rib stitch, the Slip Stitch Rib is perfect for scarves, cowls, bags, blankets, and many other projects. There are many advantages: The Slip Stitch Rib doesn’t roll up, it’s reversible, and unisex! Ideal for knitting both men’s and women’s clothing and accessories. It’s also really easy to knit, there are only 2 rows and few steps to memorize. What I like the most are the embossed vertical stripes, which give a slim look to the silhouette…in case you are thinking about knitting a pullover, sweater or tank top… Ok… it’s knitting time!   Abbreviations CO: Cast on st: Stitch K: Knit P: Purl …

    Double Slip-stitch Rib knitting pattern: 2 steps and 2 rows

    October 23, 2020 /

    Dedicated to all those who aren’t purling fans, this tutorial will show you how to knit the the Double Slip-stitch Rib pattern (in both, English and Continental style). At first glance, it looks like the classic 2×2 Rib stitch, but if we take a closer look, we’ll see how the columns are embossed, standing out remarkably.  The Double Slip-stitch Rib is a two-row repeat pattern, one of which is plain knitting, and the other row requires two simple steps: More knitting and slipping stitches. The good news is that it doesn’t involve any purling! Yay! Because it’s well known that many of us don’t love to purl, and it has been…

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a No-Purling Reversible stitch, that doesn’t curl! It’s a two-row repeat pattern, and it looks pretty on both sides. Although they are different, both look lovely (this is why to me, it’s a reversible pattern). It has an adorable texture to it, and you can use it for scarves, infinite cowls, hats, and even sweaters, cardigans, and blankets. Finally, it’s a no-purling pattern, so I dedicate it to those who prefer the knit stitch. And I’ll show you how to make it in English and Continental styles 😉 Without further ado, grab your needles, the fiber of your preference, and let’s get started! By…

    How to Knit a No-Purling Rib Stitch + Video (1 row!)

    November 13, 2024 /

    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. Second, it’s reversible. Yep, it’s identical on both sides, so although it’s not as stretchy as the classic 2 x2 Rib, it could be a substitute for sweaters and cardigans, for example. Third, no matter what you do, it doesn’t curl. Yay! It’ stays flat, so it’s one of the best options for scarves, blankets, placemats, infinite cowls… Plus any other garment…

    How to Knit the Double Eyelet Rib Stitch

    April 13, 2024 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a lovely pattern that combines columns of lace in a Reverse Stockinette fabric: The Double Eyelet rib stitch. It’s an easy four-row repeat pattern, similar to the Lace Columns stitch we practiced a while ago. If you haven’t tried to knit lace before, this one involves a basic increase and the two most used decreases, so it’s a nice opportunity to start 😉  Furthermore, there’s only one row where we’ll decrease and increase; the others, are plain knit and purl rows. Besides, its design works for both, clothing and accessories (i.e.: tops, sweaters, scarves, wraps, etc.). However, before starting, I’d like to share a…

    How to knit the Spike stitch: One gorgeous pattern!

    January 16, 2024 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the Spike stitch, a wonderful pattern full of volume and texture! Although there are four setup rows to begin with (working a classic 2 x 3 Rib stitch), it’s a four-row repeat pattern. As a matter of fact, the Spike stitch looks similar to the Seagull pattern we practiced years ago, yet it’s much more eye-catching 😉 However, it’s stretchy, so if you’re looking for something special to substitute the Rib stitch, this one is for you. Furthermore, it can be used as a main stitch to knit accessories, such as hats, scarves, and cowls, but also blankets, sweaters, and cardigans. Last…

    How to do the Increases-Decreases in the Fisherman’s Rib stitch

    December 7, 2023 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing how to do the double increases and decreases when knitting the Fisherman’s Rib stitch. Previously, I showed you how to knit the classic version, without purling, in the round, and how to fix mistakes (you’ll find the links to all those tutorials down below). And the truth is that since then, many of you asked me how to shape a project while keeping the pattern, that is to say without breaking it. Fortunately, a couple of days ago I remembered that it was still on my list of pending, so there you go! Before we start, I’d like to mention a couple of simple rules,…

    How to knit the Embossed Braids stitch (2 rows!)

    November 29, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Embossed Braised stitch, one of those patterns that we knitters love. Why? Well, firstly, because it’s a two-row repeat pattern, super easy, and perfect for beginners (no cable needle required)… YAY! Secondly, the only techniques required are the knit and the purl stitch, and knitting one stitch from the row below. Thirdly, although both sides look different, I’d say that the Embossed Braids stitch is a reversible pattern because the so-called *wrong side” looks like a 5 x 1 Rib stitch. In fact, it’s great for blankets, sweaters, and cardigans, but also for accessories, such as hats, scarves, socks, cowls, etc. Furthermore, it…

    How to knit the Textured Ribbons stitch pattern

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Textured Ribbons stitch… another classic of the knitting world. It has a lovely texture to it, perfect for large pieces, such as sweaters, cardigans, vests, blankets, etc., yet suitable for accessories too, such as hats, mittens, and socks. Actually, it’s a way to create little rectangles, divided by slipped stitches; it reminds me of one of the Waffle stitch patterns we’ve practiced in the past. Although it’s not identical on both sides, they look pretty, so I’d say it’s a reversible stitch. Furthermore, it doesn’t curl! So if you want to knit a scarf, go ahead! In addition, the Textured Ribbons stitch looks like…

    How to knit the Stag Horn Cable stitch pattern

    September 6, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Stag Horn Cable stitch, another classic of the knitting world. It’s a six-row repeat pattern, easy and fun to knit, and great for a central panel of ponchos, sweaters, or even the sleeves of a sweater or cardigan. However, cable patterns are also great for hats, scarves, mittens, and socks, and they look better on a Reverse Stockinette stitch background 🙂 Please take into account that we’ll need a “cable needle”; a third needle of the same size, or a stitch holder, #ad, or hair pin (Bobby pin) in order to cross the stitches. In summary, use whatever is easier for you (I…
