    How to create Illusion or Shadow knitting, step by step

    June 21, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing a pretty special technique: How to knit a fabric that creates a shadow effect or an optical illusion, through texture and color. Even if at first it appears complicated, shadow knitting is actually really easy to do (the only stitches required are knits and purls). Its also endlessly adaptable, the strips can be made as wide as you like, and as many as you need. This is why this kind of fabric is a great option when knitting blankets, cushions, place mats, table runners, bags, or even a scarf for the smaller members of the family. Before anything else, I’d like to give you some…

    Puffy stitch knitting pattern: Versatile and rich in texture

    June 17, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Puffy stitch pattern: A fluffy, cozy stitch, which adds a lot of texture to the fabric. Because of its puffy look, it reminds me of the Fuchsia Flower stitch we practiced a while ago. On one hand, the Puffy stitch is pretty versatile, it can be used to create a single motif, you can also work just a row of puff stitch amongst a Stockinette stitch, or knit all rows of the stitch to make a puffy stitch fabric. It’s ideal for hats, blankets, or parts of a sweater/cardigan (like the sleeves, or the front/fronts). On the other hand, it’s easier…

    How to knit the Rickrack Rib stitch: A two-row repeat pattern that doesn’t curl

    June 12, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the famous Rickrack Rib stitch (which reminds me of the beautiful Feather Rib stitch). First of all, it’s a reversible pattern (although its sides are not identical, both create two eye-catching textures), and furthermore, it doesn’t curl… Yay! Secondly, the Rickrack Rib stitch is a unisex stitch: It’ll work perfectly for girls’, boys’ of all ages, and children’s garments too.  In addition, it has a double rich texture to it: One of the sides forms embossed zig-zag columns; the other looks similar to the Textured Stockinette stitch. Consequently, it’s a charming option for knitting the cuffs of your sweaters and socks, gloves,…

    Cell stitch: A four-row repeat lace pattern for knitting tops/blouses

    June 8, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the Cell stitch (I posted it on Instagram last week, and many of you are loving it)! It’s a four-row repeat pattern, ideal for knitting not only Summer tops or blouses, but also hats, scarves, or baby bonnets. What I love about the Cell stitch is that it is easy to memorize and fun to knit; it involves just 2-3 steps that are repeated time and time again (and the even rows are plain purl rows). It reminds me of this lace pattern we practiced a while ago. Ok then, let’s get started! Abbreviations CO: Cast on st: Stitch RS: Right side…

    How to knit Reversible Braids: Wishbone Ribs stitch

    May 29, 2021 /

    Today, I’m sharing a very special knitting pattern: The Wishbone stitch, which is nothing less than Reversible Braids! It’s a unique braid, pretty easy to knit. Normally cables and braids knitting patterns aren’t reversible (they look good on only one side of the fabric). In this case, the pattern creates two beautiful sides, so you can choose which one you like the best 😉 This is why, the Wishbone stitch is the perfect pattern for a scarf, rectangular shawl or blanket. By the way, if you want to know how many stitches to cast on, how much yarn is needed, and the measurements for any kind of rectangular/square knitting (or…

    How to knit the Jute stitch: A two-row reversible pattern

    May 26, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Jute stitch. It’s one of those “most searched for” stitches (similar to the Horizontal Slipped stitch we practiced a while ago).  Why? Well, first of all, it’s a two-row repeat pattern, which makes things a lot less complicated. Secondly, it’s a reversible stitch; although its two sides are different, both look adorable! Furthermore, it’s a unisex pattern: It can be used for women’s, men’s, and children’s garments. On the other hand, to test if it lays flat or not, I’ve used two different qualities and thicknesses:  For the video tutorial, the swatch is made out 100% wool and 10,5 US size…

    Little Arrows knitting stitch pattern: Reversible, and it doesn’t curl!

    May 22, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Little Arrows stitch (similar to the Reversible Chevron stitch we learned a while ago, but much easier). A cute and delicate pattern, that features additional advantages: For starters, I want you to know that it’s pretty easy to do.  The Little Arrow stitch is totally suitable for beginners, because it only requires knitting and purling (no increases, decreases, nor cables are needed). Secondly, it’s a reversible knitting pattern. Although it’s not identical on both sides, they both look really nice so you can choose whichever side you prefer. Moreover, due to the combination of knits and purls in each of its…

    Scrunchy Stitch knitting pattern: For Summer and Winter garments

    May 18, 2021 /

    This Scrunchy Stitch includes everything we knitters love: A fancy texture, easy and fun to knit, it lays flat, although it’s not reversible, it looks pretty on the “wrong” side, and it forms a spongy fabric. Furthermore, it’s a six-row repeat pattern, five of which are knitting and purling, nothing complicated really (as easy as the 2 x 1 Rib stitch). The “action” comes in row 6 😉 For those reasons, the Scrunchy Stitch is a great option when knitting different kind of projects. From a hat, to a sweater or top, but also nice for blankets, cushions, scarves, etc. Another key point is that the Scrunchy Stitch is so…

    The Half Brioche knitting pattern is one of those stitches we knitters around the world love… Why? Well, there are many reasons: First of all, it’s really easy to do (the only technique required is the knit stitch). You don’t even have to purl! Secondly, it’s a four-row repeat pattern, two of which are just knit across. In addition, it has a lovely texture to it. It’s a fluffy stitch, the pattern creates little embossed “v” which makes the fabric appear really pretty imho (similar to the Twisted Knot stitch). Maybe you’re thinking about the classic Brioche stitch, and how difficult it is, but the only thing they share in…

    May 11, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn the Mermaid knitting stitch pattern: A charming stitch (it has a rich nubbly texture to it, similar to another old favorite the Edelweiss stitch which we practiced some time ago), extraordinary as well as easy peasy lemon squeezy. I think it’s the perfect stitch for a bag, a cushion or a blanket… something large enough to appreciate the entire pattern with both your eyes and your hands. What’s more, if you prefer a scarf, please don’t forget to include a nice edge on each side of the piece, trust me it really makes a difference. The Mermaid knitting stitch is a 12 row-repeat pattern, however,…
