Slipped Honeycomb stitch: Ideal for knitting hats, cowls, and sweaters
In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn to knit the Slipped Honeycomb stitch, a simple version of the traditional Honeycomb pattern. The Slipped Honeycomb stitch pattern is created by knitting eight rows, combining knits, purls, and slipping one stitch purl-wise every now and then. Some of these rows are the same, so it’s not complicated at all. This is a spongy stitch, it has a cozy and warm texture to it, great for knitting cowls, hats, sweaters, and even a blanket (if you add a lovely edge on each side). This swatch is knitted using 100% Superwash Merino wool And my favorite wooden needles Abbreviations CO: Cast on RS: Right side of…

How to knit the famous Edelweiss stitch in the round – So Woolly
The Edelweiss knitting pattern is one of my most-watched YouTube videos since it is an adorable stitch. Knitted flat (back and forth), it has a cute texture to it, it’s easy to knit, ideal for knitting a wide range of garments (even baby clothing). And subsequently, there were many requests to teach how to knit it in the round. So I decided to convert the Edelweiss flat pattern to circular pattern… Honestly, it wasn’t an easy mission, (because it’s a diagonal pattern and there is a little trick to make it work), but after several attempts, I made it and I’m very happy with the result! Let’s get started!…

Unisex Scarf knitted in Reversible Rope stitch – Cable Lesson 2
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit a unisex scarf in the Reversible Rope stitch, since Aran patterns are so lit this season, and this scarf is a great winter accessory! Although we have practiced one reversible cable stitch (The Fuchsia Flower stitch), normally, cable knitting patterns are not reversible… What a pity! I think that such beautiful work should be able to look great on both sides, especially in a scarf! This is why this stitch is special and almost unique, looks great on a scarf, blanket, and also, on an infinity cowl. In addition, today I’m giving you a pattern that can be knitted in two different…

The Ribbed Garter stitch is really versatile; there is a wide range of projects where it can be used: Cowls, scarves, blankets, placemats, hats, bags, cushions… and many more! Furthermore, it’s a figure-refining pattern: It forms delicate vertical lines, for a sleeker look (which some of us love ;D).

The Fuchsia Flower stitch: Cable stitch lesson 1
In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn a new knitting technique using this special pattern: The Fuchsia Flower stitch. Easy to knit, reversible (identical on both sides), it has a great texture to it, and a perfect stitch to knit the sleeves of a chunky cardigan! One of the advantages that I really enjoy of this stitch is that from the 10 rows that form the pattern, most of them include the same steps (the even rows are equal, and the odds rows are almost always equal). And the cable technique is required only in row 9… this makes this stitch easy to memorize, light and fun to knit. There is something…

Bumpy stitch: Reversible, for knitting edges that don’t curl
In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn a reversible stitch, identical on both sides; the Bumpy stitch. Perfect for knitting scarves, blankets, and cowls. It’s also an option for knitting edges that don’t curl…Normally, when we knit a scarf, a rectangular shawl or a blanket, and we want to make an edge, I don’t know why but we always seem to end up making the Seed, Moss or Garter stitch. The Bumpy stitch is a lovely alternative if we want to knit something not so common. I like it also for knitting the hem and cuffs of a jacket (Chanel style). It’s anything but complicated: There are no increases nor decreases. The…

Saint Valentine’s Day is just around the corner… what a perfect opportunity to make a gift ;D! In this tutorial, you’ll learn to knit an easy hat for the whole family (for women, men, and children). It’s a reversible hat, knitted in a gorgeous stitch: The last version of the Broken Rib we practiced some weeks ago. The hat is knitted in the round (this is why there are no side seams), and you can make it to your own taste: shorter or longer, depending on the size, with or without a brim. This version of the Broken Rib stitch is pretty stretchy. It can stretch out up to 30%…

This pattern is quite delicate, elegant, yet easy to knit: a two-row repeat stitch that combines knits and purls while slipping a couple of stitches. It’s a unisex and reversible stitch (both sides look beautiful, although they are not identical), ideal for knitting women’s and men’s cowls, scarves and sweaters. Before recording the video tutorial I knitted several swatches using different yarn qualities and thicknesses… And my suggestion is to use a mildly thin yarn, for example, DK or light worsted weight yarn, for US 6 (4 mm) knitting needles. And this swatch was knitted using one of…
