    How to knit the Hearts Lace stitch (also for non-experts)

    April 26, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Hearts Lace stitch. I know, I know, St. Valentine’s Day was months ago, but love is in the air <3 It’s a lovely openwork pattern, perfect for a seasonal scarf, sweater, or wrap, and the good news is that you don’t need to be an expert to succeed at it! Actually, the Hearts Lace stitch is one of those patterns that look complicated, but once you try it, you’ll start feeling more and more confident. The techniques required are simple decreases and yarnovers, yet the last row features two different double decreases. As with many other lace patterns, it tends to bend on…

    How to knit the Linen stitch in one or two colors

    April 22, 2023 /

    I believe that the Linen stitch is one of those patterns that all knitters need to learn. Why? Well, firstly, it’s one of those patterns that look like fabric (like the Woven stitch we practiced a while ago). It means that one of the advantages is that it lays flat; it doesn’t bend nor curl on any side. Secondly, it’s a two-row pattern, and there are just two steps to remember and repeat. Actually, there is another reason to love it: Although it’s not a reversible pattern, the so-called “wrong side” of the work looks pretty too (similar to the Seed stitch). It’s so cute! Honestly, when I look at…

    How to knit the Criss Cross stitch pattern (two rows only)

    April 17, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Criss Cross stitch, another classic of the knitting world. And I’m sharing how to do it both ways, flat and in the round. It’s a two-row repeat pattern, spongy, and full of texture, also known as Wicker stitch, similar to the Cross stitch we practiced a while ago. Although it’s not reversible, the Criss Cross stitch is a great option for a cowl, a scarf, or even a blanket, because it lays flat. Actually, I’ve knitted a couple of swatches, using Alpaca, wool, and cotton yarn in different weights, and I think it works in every case! You’ll see the pictures further down.…

    How to knit the Fern Lace stitch (four rows only)

    April 11, 2023 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Fern Lace stitch; a four-row repeat pattern, uncomplicated, yet elegant. I think it’s perfect for a rectangular shawl or throw, but I’d also use it for a seasonal top, sweater, or cardigan. And I wanted to share it with you because the Fern Lace stitch is my way to show you how a leaves lace pattern can be made even if you identify as an unexperienced knitter 😉 Why? Well, because it looks complex… The good news is that as soon as you try it, you’ll find that the techniques we’ve been using for “simpler” patterns in the past are put…

    How to knit the Seed Diamond stitch (knit and purl)

    April 8, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Seed Diamond stitch; another knit and purl pattern (because we knitters love them). It reminds me of the classic Diamond Brocade stitch we practiced a while ago, but this one is a bit “busier” 😉 It has a lovely texture to it (I believe that the Seed texture is always kind of cute). In fact, the Seed Diamond stitch is great for baby stuff, yet it will also work for a blankie, or a cushion. Honestly, it’s easy to knit; there is no need to increase or decrease (nor cross stitches). I’m sure that if you can knit and purl, you can do…

    How to knit the Lacy Chevrons stitch (2 rows only!)

    April 4, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Lacy Chevrons stitch, a beautiful lace pattern without a doubt! By the way, this is the first time I’m knitting this sort of pattern in a lace version. So far, all my Chevron patterns were dense (the Reversible Shadow Chevron is my favorite). One of the things I love the most about this pattern, apart from its design, rich in texture, is that it only takes two rows to make it! Although it looks complex, you’ll see that once you’ve worked a couple of rows, it’s pretty intuitive. In fact, the steps are known by us knitters, and it’s a great…

    How to knit the Two-Color Brioche stitch (scarf pattern)

    March 28, 2023 /

    The Two-Color Brioche stitch is a great pattern for a scarf or an infinite cowl (the pattern is suitable for both projects). Why? First of all, because it’s fluffy, chunky, and stretchy, like me. Secondly, although we’ll be using two colors, the join is invisible, yes… invisible! Thirdly, it’s a four-row reversible pattern, identical on both sides. However, the main color will change, depending on the side you’re looking at. Make it for yourself or for your other half, combine the colors as you prefer, and you’ll always have a new design with not too much effort 😉 Last, but not least, if you haven’t tried the Brioche stitch at…

    How to knit the spectacular Rambler stitch

    March 25, 2023 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Rambler stitch, step by step. Maybe it looks complex, but it isn’t! Actually, it’s similar yet easier than the Broken Brioche stitch we practiced some months ago. The main difference is that we don’t have to purl into the stitch from the row below, you’ll see what I mean. And the second difference is that the Rambler stitch is not reversible. Although it has a fluffy texture to it, great for Autumn-Winter garments, I tried it using cotton yarn, and the result was not too dense or heavy. I think it’s a pretty versatile pattern, suitable for a wide range of…

    How to knit the Openwork Ladders stitch (just two rows)

    March 22, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Openwork Ladders stitch, in both, English and Continental styles. A lacy stitch pattern, simple yet pretty, just like the doctor ordered! Honestly, it’s not complicated at all: Only two rows and the steps are well-known to us knitters. In fact, we’ll be doing the most used increases and the most popular decrease there is. Additionally, it’s one of those vertical, stylish designs; it reminds me of another Two-row repeat Lace pattern we practiced some months ago. And maybe you’re wondering: What kind of garments is it good for? Well, the Openwork Ladders stitch is great for seasonal garments. Knit a wrap,…

    How to knit Twisted Twin Cables (the easiest cable pattern!)

    March 19, 2023 /

    The Twisted Twin Cables knitting pattern is the easiest cable you’ll ever knit. Why? Because there is only one cross to be made in one direction: The right cross. Also as the right cross will make every eight rows, so we’ll have a lot of “rest” rows. And the rest rows are easy to do: We’ll knit the knits and purl the purls (on both sides of the work). In fact, the wrong face looks pretty similar to a classic Rib pattern. It is true that for many knitters the word “cables” is kind of scary…they’re the kind of pattern that your mother warned you about…mad, bad, and difficult to…
