    How to knit the Mock Cable Ribbing stitch

    October 28, 2021 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Mock Cable Ribbing stitch, both, back and forth, and in the round, a two-row repeat pattern, full of texture. Although each side is not identical, they both look pretty nice, so I’d say it’s reversible. At the same time, it’s easy to knit, the only techniques required are knitting and purling, plus a simple twist 😉 In addition, the Mock Cable Ribbing can be used to substitute the normal 2 x 2 Rib stitch, or as the main stitch, perfect for scarves, blankies, cowls… you name it! Last, but not least, before starting a whole project, I’d suggest you knit a swatch.  Depending…

    How to knit the Purl Twist stitch pattern, step by step

    October 21, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Purl Twist stitch, a four-row repeat pattern with a twist… And it has nothing to do with knitting or purling through the back loop 😉 In fact, I’m showing you how to cross stitches without using a cable needle; a simple way to do right-leaning, almost diagonal stitches, without a lot of effort. Additionally, the Purl Twist stitch creates a lovely fabric, which has a rich texture to it, similar to a wicker basket (like the Jute stitch pattern). Therefore, it’s a great pattern for accessories, such as hats, gloves, socks, etc., and also, for sweaters, cardigans, even a blanket. However,…

    Learn to knit the One-Row repeat stitch: Reversible, great for scarves!

    October 16, 2021 /

    Today, you’ll learn to knit the one-row repeat stitch, great for scarves and infinite cowls. It’s a lovely pattern; it will work for Winter/Summer garments, and it has some advantages to it: First of all, it’s easy to do: There are 4 steps that be repeated time and time again because it’s a one-row pattern. Secondly, it’s reversible and identical on both sides, this is why it’s great for scarves. Furthermore, it doesn’t curl. Therefore, there is no need to think of edges, but it’s also true that even a simple Garter stitch edge will make it shine… Variety and contrast are the spice of life! Finally, you won’t have…

    How to knit the Diagonal Flakes stitch pattern

    October 13, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the Diagonal Flakes stitch pattern… quite simply it’s fantastic! Similar to the Crocodile stitch we learned some time ago, this stitch pattern has a rich texture to it, and it’s easy-peasy 😉 In fact, the Diagonal Flakes stitch is perfect for a cardigan (or sweater). This is why I’ve knitted a swatch including a 2 x 2 rib, to recreate a sleeve. Additionally, it’s a four-row repeat pattern, two of which are plain purl rows; the other two consist in a repetition of two basic steps. Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to show you a little trick when knitting the…

    How to knit the Feather Lace stitch knitting pattern

    October 7, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Feather Lace stitch pattern, plus a children’s scarf (up to eight years of age). Why? Because this is a great project, ideal for beginners. First of all, the Feather Lace knitting stitch is a two-row repeat pattern, one of those being a plain purl row.  Secondly, it’s easy, quick, and fun to knit, this scarf only takes one ball of yarn. Furthermore, you can make it wider and/or longer, to knit an adult scarf. Follow this tutorial to know exactly the measurements, how many stitches to cast on, and how much yarn will be needed, using the materials you prefer! To…

    3D Crocodile stitch pattern (full of volume and texture!)

    October 3, 2021 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the 3D Crocodile stitch pattern: It’s tridimensional, full of volume; it’s a great option for the sleeves of a cardigan or a sweater. Actually, the 3D Crocodile stitch is one of the chunky knitting patterns that are so trendy right now, similar to the Puffy stitch we practiced a while ago. However, before we start, I have a couple of tips for you: First of all, if you were to knit a sweater or cardigan, to get the right amount of volume/texture for the warm and cozy effect, I suggest Merino wool yarn, using needles one number lower than the recommended in the label.…

    How to knit Mittens for beginners (using straight needles)

    September 30, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing my easiest pattern to knit mittens for beginners, using straight needles, not circulars. You can decorate them as a Halloween project, as I did, (for the pumpkin, I applied the Duplicate Stitch technique) or not… it’s up to you 😉 The only techniques required are knitting and purling because the design will do the work for you: Due to the combination of knit + purl stitches, you won’t need to increase, nor decrease anything! In fact, this is a great option when you just want to watch your favorite TV show (currently mine is The Morning Show), and don’t feel like paying extra attention to…

    Two-row repeat Mesh knitting stitch pattern (super easy!)

    September 26, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit a two-row repeat Mesh stitch pattern. Actually, I know that knitting lace can be scary for some new knitters, but I assure you that this pattern is a great way to ease into lacework 😉 On one hand, I love this Mesh pattern, because the only techniques required are knitting and purling, along with yarn over. Easy peasy! On the other hand, its design is sooooo romantic… it reminds me of the Herringbone lace stitch we practiced sometime ago. Finally, this Mesh stitch pattern is a great option for a seasonal scarf, wrap, or rectangular shawl. But I would take it into…

    How to knit a Dragon’s Tail Shawl for beginners, using Garter stitch!

    September 23, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit a stunning Dragon’s Tail Shawl, using Garter stitch only, ideal for beginners (totally different to the Infinite Cowl we knitted last Autumn). It’s one of the easiest constructions you can find, asymmetric and super flexible: Use your favorite fiber, and make it the size you want. The Dragon’s Tail Shawl is the perfect project for variegated yarns. That kind of material will do the magic for you. Your only mission is to knit every stitch of every row! It’s a horizontal construction, I mean side-to-side: We start on the left end and finish on the right end (or vice versa), and there…

    How to knit the cute Pennant stitch – it lays flat, no matter what!

    September 19, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Pennant stitch, a cute six-row repeat pattern, which combines knits and purls only. Similar to the Embossed Blocks stitch, we practiced sometime ago, the Pennant stitch creates an unusual horizontal motif (the vertical patterns are more common, I have to say). However, it’s an easy-peasy stitch. I love it because it’s also reversible (it looks gorgeous on both sides), and it lays flat (no need to think about adding edges at all!). Above all, the Pennant stitch has a lovely texture to it; it forms little flags which appear raised or embossed. I like it for baby stuff, maybe a blanket,…
