    How to knit a cute two-row repeat lace stitch + video

    July 30, 2022 /

    In today’s post, you’ll learn how to knit an easy two-row repeat lace pattern, one of those so-called “proper lace” stitches. As such, they are lace patterns because the increases and decreases are worked on in each row. Whereas Openwork stitch patterns are normally worked purling the even rows of the desired design. So the lace patterns require “more work” according to some, as the even rows or “resting” rows also need our attention, or… “it’s complicated” 😉 Complicated, no, not really… this two-row repeat lace stitch is actually easy to do! Actually, the steps that we have to repeat are the easiest ones when it comes to knitting lace.…

    How to knit the Fisherman’s Rib stitch in the round

    July 22, 2022 /

    The Fisherman’s Rib stitch worked in the round is a similar and easier knitting pattern than the Brioche stitch. Basically, it’s a traditional two-row repeat pattern, great for hats, and cowls without seaming. Actually, in a previous tutorial, I’ve shown not only how to knit and properly bind off the classic Fisherman’s Rib stitch (flat or back and forth)… But also, another version dedicated to those knitters that are not fans of purling 😉 And by that, I mean that you can knit and bind off the Fisherman’s Rib using knit stitches only… YAY! However, I’ve received many requests to make a tutorial teaching how to do it using circular…

    How to knit the Horizontal Welts stitch (reversible)

    July 13, 2022 /

    In today’s post, I’m sharing how to knit the Horizontal Welts stitch, another pattern ideal for beginners 🙂 Actually, it’s the perfect knit stitch for hats. Why? Basically, you don’t need to keep track of the stitch count… to make the decreases! By using this stitch, you can knit hats in several sizes, following any pattern you have on hand, and decrease when it’s needed (no calculations required)… YEAP! This is because each row will be knitted or purled entirely; there are no repetitions of different kinds of stitches. Furthermore, the Horizontal Welts stitch is a six-row repeat pattern, pretty easy to do (your only mission is to be aware…

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit Easy Lace Stripes: A one-row repeat reversible pattern, super easy to knit. If you want to learn how to knit lace, this is the perfect pattern! Just work on three simple steps that will be repeated throughout the project 😉 And the good news is that you don’t even have to purl! In fact, the only techniques required are knit stitches, yarn over, and knit two stitches together (the easiest increase and decrease there are out there ;). As per The Witch’s Ladder stitch that we practiced a couple of weeks ago, the Easy Lace Stripes is a proper lace pattern because…

    How to knit the Double Garter Rib stitch (only two rows)

    July 1, 2022 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the Double Garter Rib stitch, step by step. Honestly, I think it’s a perfect stitch for borders or edges; especially when we don’t need them to be stretchy (as they would be when using the classic 2 x 2 Ribbing). For instance, use it on each side of a blanket, of a scarf, or on each side of an infinite cowl in case you used a stitch that curls or bends. In other words, it’s a substitute for the Seed stitch, Garter stitch, or the Irish Moss stitch. However, the Double Garter Rib is a pretty versatile pattern. It will also work…

    How to knit the Eyelet rows stitch (no purling!)

    June 24, 2022 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Eyelet rows stitch, one of those patterns that we knitters love… It’s a lovely yet versatile design, easy-peasy, so it doesn’t matter if you’re just starting to knit. Why? Essentially because the Eyelet rows, is a four-row repeat pattern, three of which are plain knit rows. Our “work” consists of two basic steps that will be repeated throughout the fourth row: Yarn over + simple decrease. So, no purling is required! YAY! The result is a pattern that we can use to knit the whole garment, or with Garter or Stockinette stitch sections. Honestly, it reminds me of a period in my life…

    June 18, 2022 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Andalusian stitch pattern (a cousin of the Double Andalusian stitch we practiced a while ago). Actually, it’s easier, perfect for beginners, unlike flamenco, (don’t ask!). Why? Basically, the Andalusian stitch is a four-row repeat pattern. It combines knit and purl stitches in one row; the remaining three are plain knit or purl rows… it couldn’t be easier 🙂 When I find patterns like this one, I need to say a couple of things: On one hand, knitting does not have to be complicated… this is proof! On the other hand, it’s incredible to see the number of fabulous patterns that exist;…

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Witch’s Ladder stitch: A one-row repeat pattern, super easy to knit. If you’re still intimidated by lace stitches, I suggest you try this one, because it only takes two simple steps. Actually, the only two techniques used are: yarn over, and knit two stitches together (the easiest decrease there is). As I have mentioned in other tutorials, there is a difference between openwork patterns and lace stitches. In the first case, the even rows are purled, and the decreases and increases that form the pattern are made on the odd rows. However, when we knit the so-called Lace Stitches, we work decreases and…

    How to knit the Alternating Dot stitch

    June 3, 2022 /

    In today’s post I’m sharing how to knit the Alternating Dot stitch, the cousin of another adorable pattern we practiced a while ago: The Dot stitch. The Alternating Dot stitch creates a fabric with rich texture on both sides; it’s super easy to do, ideal for beginners. Why? Well, there are several reasons: First of all, it’s a four-row repeat pattern, two of which are plain knit rows… YAY! The other two rows involve a short repeat of knits and purls. Secondly, because of the frequency of knit and purl stitches on the even rows, your piece will remain flat.  It won’t curl nor bend, so there’s no need of…

    How to knit an Easy Lace Ladder in only two rows

    May 27, 2022 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit an Easy Lace Ladder in just two rows; a great pattern for a sweater, cardigan, or vest, amongst other projects. In fact, I’m using it for the bottom of a cardigan I’m knitting at the moment. One of the things that I like the most about this pattern is that is really easy to knit… Actually, the real “work” will be made on every odd row, the even rows are “resting” rows (plain purl rows). In the end, you have to memorize a couple of steps made for the odd rows only.  Besides, the decreases used to create this design are the easiest: Knit…
