    How to knit the Checker stitch (it lays flat)

    June 3, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Checker stitch, with knits and purls only. It’s a simple yet pretty pattern, easy to do, and great for beginners (there are no increases or decreases). Additionally, the Checker stitch has a lovely texture to it, and although it’s not reversible, both sides look pretty. Similar to the Embossed Blocks stitch we practiced a while ago, it stays flat no matter what; so there’s no need to add an edge or border. Which makes it perfect for scarves, infinite cowls, blankets, hats, but also for a sweater or cardigan. Without further ado, grab your needles, and some yarn, and let’s get busy! Abbreviations…

    How to knit the adorable Hazelnut stitch pattern

    May 31, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Hazelnut stitch, a beautiful pattern that evokes nature, just like the Acorn stitch we practiced a while ago. Honestly, I love these kinds of patterns: Flowers, leaves, and fruit designs are always pretty eye-catching, and we can use them in a lot of projects. The Hazelnut stitch has a rich texture to it, and although is not reversible, the other side of the work looks pretty too (similar to the Tiles stitch). In fact, I kitted a swatch in 100% cotton yarn, and it doesn’t curl or bend. However, if you want to knit a big project such as a blanket or even…

    How to knit a stitch pattern for edges (knit and purl)

    May 27, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit a super easy knit and purl stitch pattern, perfect for edges (borders), because, as you already know, there are many stitch patterns that bend and curl… And when I publish those kinds of patterns, I normally suggest to add a  nice edge on each side of the garment, if you want to knit a blanket, scarf, cowl, etc. However, the first things that come to mind when thinking of an edge, are the Garter stitch, the Seed stitch, or the Irish Moss stitch. Well, these are not the only ones! Today’s knit and purl stitch can be added to your list. Why?…

    Lace Stitches

    How to knit the easiest Lattice stitch I’ve ever seen… ever

    May 24, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the easiest Lattice (or Mesh) stitch I’ve seen to date. It’s a four-row repeat pattern, two of which are plain purl rows, and the other two include just 2 steps (a pretty short repeat). This is why this Lattice stitch is suitable for beginners. Therefore, in the video tutorial, I’m showing how to do it in both, English and Continental styles, you lucky little woollies! In addition, this pattern is great for a seasonal scarf, wrap, or top, and before you start, I have some tips for you: Firstly, I’d add a nice edge on each side of the garment, if I’m knitting something…

    How to knit the Braided Basket stitch pattern

    May 20, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the beautiful Braided Basket stitch. It’s a four-row repeat pattern, easy and fun to knit, and pretty similar to the infamous Criss Cross stitch we practiced a while ago. The main difference is that to knit the Braided Basket stitch, we have to cross the stitches using a “cable needle”; a third needle or a stitch holder will do the job equally well. None of those tools are essential, so please remain calm and carry on reading 😉 Top tip time, do as I do: Use a bobby pin or a hair clip; the result will be the same, and they are short enough…

    How to knit the Stockinette stitch with a cross seam effect

    May 17, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Stockinette stitch with a stylish cross-seam effect. Why? Well, as a knitter, I don’t know how many times I’ve worked on a whole project in Stockinette stitch (mainly sweaters, cardigans, and hats). The main reason is, I love the pattern (it’s so beautiful that even crocheters have come with a stitch that looks like it!). Besides, it’s easy and quick to knit, plus increasing and decreasing doesn’t require any calculations… YAY! However, sometimes a little twist can make a huge difference, such as this “cross-seam effect” wherever you like. In fact, there are no rules; it takes just two rows, so…

    May 13, 2023 /

    In this post, you’ll learn how to knit the most amazing Chevron stitch pattern. Actually, it’s one of those patterns that has it all… Why is it so special? Well, there are plenty of reasons: Firstly, it’s a one-row repeat pattern!  I know we had practiced other Chevron patterns in the past, but never ever have I seen one made in just one row. Until today… Secondly, it’s reversible (identical on both sides, a feature that many knitters really appreciate). In addition,  if the only technique you know so far is the knit stitch, this one is for you. Honestly, it’s so easy, that the only variations we’ll do are:…

    How to knit lace: A gorgeous four-row repeat stitch

    May 10, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit a gorgeous yet simple lace stitch. In fact, it’s so easy that two of those four rows are plain purl rows; the other techniques involved are yarnovers, and the most common decreases (single and double). It’s a four-row repeat pattern, which features a small design, perfect not only for accessories, such as cowls, socks, or scarves, but also, for seasonal tops, cardigans, or even sweaters. Additionally, it’s a versatile stitch: Work with cotton yarn, bamboo, linen (or their blends), and you’ll create a light S/S garment. However, if you want a warmer piece, substitute the yarns mentioned above for something like Cashmere, Alpaca, wool…

    How to knit the most beautiful chained edges

    May 6, 2023 /

    In today’s post, I’m sharing how to knit chained edges (identical on both sides). Honestly, I have to make a confession… I’m in love (yet again) with the shape of chains in knitting (this is why I shared how to knit the chained cast-on a few months ago 😉 It’s a pretty simple technique that creates the most beautiful edges, perfect for scarves, blankets, cowls, and headbands, for example. Actually, it can be applied to any knitting project that stays flat, and you can use any pattern, not only the Garter stitch… Nevertheless, if you are working with a different pattern, please note that the second stitch needs to be…

    How to knit a super easy knit and purl stitch pattern

    May 3, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a super easy knit and purl stitch pattern, great for beginners. It creates pretty bands of Stockinette stitch, combined with sections of 1 x 1 knit + purl rows, but not so “busy” as the Tweed stitch with knits and purls only, for example. It’s quick as well as fun to knit, and did I mention… super easy: There are no increases, decreases, or crossed stitches. I’m sure that if you can knit and purl, you can do it! And I like it because it’s a lovely way to add some texture to the Stockinette stitch, and make it more interesting! In addition, you…
