    How to knit a Sweater made to measure

    January 29, 2023 /

    In this tutorial, you will learn how to knit a Sweater, with straight needles, and tailored exactly to your measurements. However, it’s a very easy and flexible pattern: You can do it in a single color, with a sleeve length that you prefer, and using a stitch pattern that you love (my sweater has 3/4 length sleeves, but in the video tutorial I’ll show you how to do long sleeves too). It’s an à la carte basic sweater that’s also suitable for beginners. If you haven’t made a sweater yet, this project is ideal for you. Actually, the only techniques required are Knit and Purl stitches, and how to bind…

    How to knit the Pique Rib stitch 2 (pay attention to your tension)

    January 25, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Pique Rib stitch 2; a four-row repeat pattern, super easy to do, and it doesn’t curl. In fact, it’s another lovely knit and purl stitch pattern, perfect for beginners. Although it shares the same DNA as the Pique Rib stitch we practiced a while ago, it’s less detailed… let’s say it’s a little less busy 😉 So it’s a nice option for a sweater or cardigan, for example. Having said that, it’s also a great pattern for a blanket, a scarf, a hat, or even a cushion, table mats, or table runners… it’s up to you! Besides, it’s not a reversible stitch, yet…

    How to knit the Rib stitch without purling (2 rows)

    January 21, 2023 /

    Strange but true, it is possible to knit the Rib stitch without purling 🙂 It’s also possible to knit the Fisherman’s Rib without purling… YAY! And in this tutorial, free, gratis, and for no money down, I’ll show you how. By now you’re asking yourself what’s with all the enthusiasm? Well, it’s no secret that for many of us knitters, the purl stitch is somewhat of a “necessary evil”. Let’s just say that the purl stitch goes against the natural hand movement that we all learned from day one when we first started knitting. Clearly, we have to use it, because, without it, we couldn’t create so many marvelous patterns,…

    How to knit the Sailor’s Rib stitch pattern (only 4 rows!)

    January 17, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Sailor’s Rib stitch; a textured pattern, full of advantages for us knitters (similar yet more detailed than the Little Boxes stitch we practiced years ago). Firstly, it’s a super easy four-row repeat pattern, which combines only knit and purl stitches, great for beginners (no need to increase or decrease at all). Secondly, although both sides are different, I’d say that the Sailor’s Rib stitch is a reversible knitting pattern. Why? Well, the so-called “wrong side” of the work looks pretty too, so it’s a nice option for scarves, throws, blankets, etc. Last but not least, it doesn’t curl or bend. The fabric lays…

    How to knit the Woven stitch pattern (four rows only!)

    December 29, 2022 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the Woven stitch pattern, step by step. It’s another classic of the knitting world, one of those patterns that look like fabric, just like the Tweed stitch we practiced a while ago. Actually, I’m in love with it… (please don’t tell the Irishman).  And not only because it forms a tiny pattern; an adorable design that will show up even in the smallest garments, but because it’s so easy! It’s easy to do and to memorize; there are just two steps that will be repeated time and time again. Additionally, the Woven stitch is a four-row repeat pattern, two of which are…

    How to knit the Zig-Zag Lace #2 stitch pattern

    December 22, 2022 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Zig-Zag Lace #2 stitch; an eight-row repeat pattern, ideal for becoming a master/ mistress when knitting lace! Why? Well, this pattern involves the most common decreasing techniques (the simple decrease and knitting two stitches together), plus the most used increase there is, the yarn over. Actually, the Zig-Zag Lace #2 stitch has a lovely texture to it, sophisticated yet easy to do, because it’s pretty intuitive. I’ve used it for the sleeves of a cardigan, to add a subtle touch of lace, and it looks amazing! But it could be used for a whole sweater too; great if we’re looking for a fabric…

    How to knit the Picket Fences stitch pattern

    December 15, 2022 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Picket Fences stitch, another member of the checkerboard patterns, similar to the Embossed Blocks stitch that we practiced last year.  The Picket Fences stitch is perfect for beginners; there is no need to slip, increase or decrease stitches. Actually, the only techniques required are knit + purl… easy-peasy! In addition, it lays flat, the edges don’t curl or bend, due to the frequency of knit and purl stitches per row. Another advantage is that it’s a reversible knitting pattern; it’s identical on both sides 😉  So, if you’re thinking of knitting a scarf, or a blanket, for example, this one is for you.…

    How to knit a textured stitch pattern in just two rows

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a textured stitch pattern, in just two rows! Actually, if you can knit and purl, this one is for you; it’s so easy that one of those two rows is a plain purl row 😉 Although this textured stitch is not identical on both sides, to me, it’s a reversible pattern… Why? Well, both sides of the work look amazing, so you can decide which side you want to be the right side of your project. It reminds me of the Jute stitch that we practiced a while ago, but the other side of the work has a richer texture to it, it’s gorgeous…

    How to knit a one-row reversible pattern (with knit stitches only)

    November 30, 2022 /

    In this post, you’ll learn how to knit a one-row repeat reversible stitch pattern; just 3 simple steps will be necessary throughout the project. In addition, it has a rich texture to it, and it’s identical on both sides, which makes it perfect for a lot of projects, such as scarves, blankies, infinite cowls, or even a cardigan or pullover/sweater/jumper/jersey (delete where applicable). The possibilities are endless! Furthermore, it lays flat; it doesn’t roll up or bend on any side, so it’s not necessary to add an edge.  In fact, I’ve made 2 swatches: One, using 100% Merino wool yarn, and the other, using 100% cotton yarn, and neither of…

    How to knit the adorable Clover stitch pattern

    November 26, 2022 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Clover stitch; the perfect combination between an openwork and a dense fabric (especially important when we don’t want too many holes in our knitwork). It’s a lovely four-row repeat pattern. Its design creates knit and purl columns, divided by a little touch of lace. #Texture !!! In fact, the Clover stitch not only looks pretty; you can use it in a wide range of projects: From a top, or a sleeveless vest (open or closed), to a sweater or cardigan, or even a blanket. Although it’s not a reversible pattern, the Clover stitch will work even for a scarf, because the…
