    How to knit a very special Rib stitch pattern (two rows only)

    July 18, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit a very special Rib stitch, ideal for beginners. Actually, it’s a two-row repeat pattern, easy to do and easy to memorize, and pretty stretchy. Although both sides are not identical, I’d say it’s a reversible stitch, because both sides look pretty. In addition, the only techniques required are knit stitch and purl stitch… And from time to time, we’ll slip one stitch, which helps us create those gorgeous embossed columns of “v’s”. That’s the touch of elegance that makes this Ribbing so unusual 🙂 Finally, this is a great pattern for hems, cuffs, socks, gloves, hats, etc. Enough chatting! Grab your needles,…

    How to knit a super easy lace stitch for beginners (two colors)

    July 12, 2023 /

    In this post, you’ll learn how to knit a four-row repeat lace stitch pattern, perfect for beginners (if you only know the knit stitch, you can do it!). Actually, it’s probably one of the easiest eyelet patterns I’ve shared so far; the only difference is that today, we’re adding a second color: The first three rows are plain knit rows; the last row includes a short repeat (only two steps, yarn over and knit two stitches together). Besides, we don’t have to purl! YEP! This two-color lace stitch is a great option for a Summer project such as a seasonal top, a sweater, or a cardigan, but it also worked…

    How to knit Shetland Lace: Bead stitch (4 rows)

    July 8, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a Bead stitch, one of the easiest from the Shetland Lace pattern collection. Traditionally, Shetland Lace is a very fine knitted fabric, made out of real Shetland ponies wool, used for wedding or christening shawls, scarves, or throws. Although those patterns are exceptionally pretty, some  of them are really intricate… This is why, I’m sharing the Bead pattern with you: A four-row repeat pattern, easy and fun to knit. Honestly, I believe that Shetland Lace is within reach of every knitter! Because it’s Summer, I chose a linen-cotton yarn blend to knit this swatch (worsted weight) #ad Why? Just to show you that Shetland…

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Moss Rib stitch… so cute! It’s a two-row repeat pattern, super easy to do, ideal for beginners, because the only techniques required are knit and purl 😉 Although it’s not identical on both sides, they look pretty, so to me, it’s a reversible pattern. Moreover, it doesn’t curl, which makes it great not only for baby stuff but also for scarves, blankets, cowls, etc. In adittion, it’s a lovely stitch for edges or borders (it’s not as stretchy as a regular Rib). Without further ado, grab your needles, and some yarn, and let’s get ribbing! Abbreviations CO: Cast on RS: Right…

    How to knit one of the most gorgeous lace patterns I’ve ever seen!

    July 1, 2023 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit one of the most gorgeous lace stitches I’ve ever seen! It has an amazing texture to it, a little bit of volume, as well as small eyelets. In addition, it’s a two-row repeat pattern; the even rows, are plain purl rows. Furthermore, the odd rows, where “the real action” takes place, include a three steps repeat. Short and sweet! And in the video tutorial, I’m sharing how to do it in both, English and Continental styles, so all knitters can do it 🙂 Last but not least, this lace stitch is perfect for a wide range of projects, such as throws, wraps,…

    How to knit the Horseshoe Cable stitch pattern

    June 27, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Horseshoe Cable stitch, one of the cable patterns I love! It’s a six-row repeat pattern, and the right cross and left cross will repeat every 5 rows, so we’ll have a lot of plain knit + purl rows (“resting rows”). In order to cross stitches, we’ll need a “cable needle”; a third needle of the same size, or a stitch holder. However, you can also use a Bobby pin or hairpin, if you don’t have any of the above (use whatever short and easy-to-handle pin/ needle/holder/husband that works for you). Finally, don’t forget to take a look at my Tips for Cable Knitting…

    How to knit the Lace Columns stitch: For scarves and tops

    June 24, 2023 /

    In this post, you’ll learn how to knit the Lace Columns stitch, easy and fun to do. It’s a four-row repeat pattern, and its vertical design, is perfect for scarves, wraps or throws, seasonal tops, cardigans, or even sweaters. In fact, it’s similar to the Zig-Zag Lace nº 2 we practiced a while ago, yet easier 😉 The only techniques required are knit, purl, the most common decrease, and a simple increase, so there’s no reason to panic! Additionally, it’s a versatile stitch: Work with cotton yarn, bamboo, linen (or their blends), and you’ll create a light S/S garment. #ad However, if you want a warmer piece, substitute the yarns…

    How to knit a Square or Rectangular Blanket

    June 21, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a blanket or to use the scientific term blankie, using the Garter stitch 🙂 Honestly, it’s been a while since I published my last blanket pattern, and this one is definitely fun!  Easy to do, and pretty flexible… Actually, there are several reasons why: Firstly, there’s no specific gauge suggested, although I’m sharing a pattern that calls for worsted-weight yarn, you can use whatever you have on hand. The magic of this blanket is that it starts and finishes with the same number of stitches for any size (from a doll blanket to an adult blanket). And you decide how big it’s going to…

    How to knit the Beaded Rib (two rows, reversible, and doesn’t curl!)

    June 14, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Beaded Rib stitch; an adorable two-row repeat pattern, perfect for beginners! Why? Firstly, it’s a super easy knit and purl stitch pattern (no need to cross, increase, or decrease stitches). Secondly, it doesn’t curl, so we don’t need to think of adding edges or borders. Actually, this is a great pattern for edges… As you already know, every time you are working on a pattern that bends or rolls, you need a nice edge to prevent the garment from curling. And as knitters, we are used to the Garter or Seed stitch for those edges. Well, you can add this one…

    How to knit a Fancy Honeycomb Brioche stitch (a 3D pattern)

    June 7, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit a Fancy Honeycomb Brioche stitch 🙂 Without a doubt, this is one of those luxury patterns, that features texture and volume (such as the 3D Honeycomb stitch we practiced a while ago). In addition, this variant of the Honeycomb Brioche is a pattern that will work for a wide range of projects, using different sorts of fibers: From cotton yarn to linen or bamboo, wool yarn, etc. However, if you decide to knit a garment that should stay flat, add a nice edge on each side of the piece. Ok, grab your needles, and some yarn, and let’s knit something amazing! Abbreviations…
