    How to knit a beautiful ribbing (2 rows only!)

    January 31, 2024 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a beautiful ribbing in just  two rows. Honestly, this one is a very special Rib stitch, easier than the Double Braided Rib we practiced a while ago, and it doesn’t curl. Actually, the only techniques required are knit and purl, so if you already mastered the classic 2 x 2 Rib stitch, you can do it 😉 What makes it unique, is the combination of knitting/purling some stitches through the back loop. It creates this braided texture, without crossing stitches… YAY!  Although it’s not identical on both sides, they look pretty, so to me, it’s a reversible stitch. In addition, this beauty can be…

    How to knit the Morning Glory stitch (2 rows!)

    January 27, 2024 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit a variant of the classic Stockinette (Stocking) stitch. It’s a two-row repeat pattern, another combination of plain knit and purl rows, but, with a little bit of texture. It reminds me of the famous Heart stitch pattern… Nevertheless, this one is easier and faster to knit, because you don’t need to keep interchanging knit and purl stitches in the same row. If you have following me for some time, you know that I like to share how to knit variants of worldwide known patterns, adding special touches. In summary, you can use this version as a substitute for the normal one: It’s…

    How to knit the Double Garter stitch (reversible)

    January 23, 2024 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit a lovely pattern: The Double Garter stitch. It’s a four-row repeat pattern, full of texture, perfect for baby stuff, blankets, and accessories, such as scarves, shawls, hats, and infinite cowls. In fact, it reminds me of the Chain stitch we practiced a while ago (another cute pattern). However, if you’re looking to knit a sweater (or a cardigan), the Double Garter stitch is also a nice option. In addition, it’s a reversible pattern! Although both sides are different, they look pretty 😉 Finally, and before I forget, I’d suggest using a larger needle size (just one size up than what you’d normally use with…

    How to knit the famous Cat’s Paw Eyelets stitch

    January 20, 2024 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit a lovely lace pattern, the famous Cat’s Paw Eyelets stitch. Why? Honestly, I’m convinced that it’s a good introduction to larger motifs, like the leaf patterns, which I’d like to share in the near future. Although the Cat’s Paw Eyelets stitch is a twelve-row repeat design, it’s easy to do (the even rows are plain purl rows, and some odd rows are repeated across the pattern. We’ll be using two common decreases: The typical right-leaning decrease (knitting two stitches together), and a simple left-leaning decrease, different than the ssk (slip, slip, knit). Apart form that, there are no complicated steps, just yarn over, and…

    How to knit the Spike stitch: One gorgeous pattern!

    January 16, 2024 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the Spike stitch, a wonderful pattern full of volume and texture! Although there are four setup rows to begin with (working a classic 2 x 3 Rib stitch), it’s a four-row repeat pattern. As a matter of fact, the Spike stitch looks similar to the Seagull pattern we practiced years ago, yet it’s much more eye-catching 😉 However, it’s stretchy, so if you’re looking for something special to substitute the Rib stitch, this one is for you. Furthermore, it can be used as a main stitch to knit accessories, such as hats, scarves, and cowls, but also blankets, sweaters, and cardigans. Last…

    How to knit the Feather & Fan versus the Old Shale

    January 12, 2024 /

    Is it the Old Shale or the Feather & Fan knit stitch? There’s an ancient discussion and confusion between these two patterns. Since I was a little girl, I thought that the Old Shale was the Feather & Fan stitch (I didn’t know that there was a stitch called the Old Shale). However, some years later, I learned that the only difference between them was the number of stitches to cast on (multiples of 17 for the Old Shale; and multiples of 14 for the Feather & Fan). And just days ago, I found out that the Old Shale is what I knew as Feather & Fan, and that the…

    How to add texture to the Stockinette stitch

    January 5, 2024 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to add some texture to the Stockinette stitch pattern. Honestly, sometimes I like to share variations of classic knitting stitch patterns, such as the Stockinette with a cross-seam effect we practiced a while ago. Why? Because variety is the spice of life 😉 This is a four-row repeat pattern, three of which are plain knit or purl rows, easy-peasy! Actually, the real “action” takes place in row 3; the texture is created by a couple of steps, so if you are a beginner, no worries. You can do it! And the good news is that you can add more rows to form larger sections of Stockinette,…

    How to knit the Basketweave stitch (2 versions!)

    December 29, 2023 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m showing how to knit two versions of the Basketweave stitch. It’s a lovely stitch, it has a pretty texture to it, and you can make the check pattern as large as you prefer. This is why I’m sharing two versions: The shorter one, (an eight-row repeat pattern), and the larger one, which has 12 rows, yet both are easy-pease! It’s so easy, that there are only two steps to memorize, and the even rows are plain purl rows. Additionally, it’ll work for a wide range of projects: From hats, socks, and scarves, to sweaters, cardigans, blankets, etc. Furthermore, it doesn’t curl!  Nevertheless, the sides look a…

    How to knit the Hurdle stitch (4 rows beginner-friendly!)

    December 20, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit another classic of the knitting world: The Hurdle Stitch. It’s a four-row repeat pattern, two of which are plain knit rows, so it’s super easy to knit and memorize. In addition, the other two rows combine knit and purl stitches, so it doesn’t curl! The Hurdle stitch lays flat no matter what 🙂 Moreover, is a little bit stretchy, yet firm and spongy at the same time, and it’s reversible!  Yep, both sides look identical. Last but not least, you can use it for all kinds of projects: From socks, hats, gloves, or mittens, to blankets, sweaters, or cardigans, including home accessories (dishcloths, cushions,…

    How to knit a chunky scarf (14 stitches only!)

    December 16, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit a chunky scarf, so quick to knit, that you wouldn’t believe it 😉 It’s knitted in a gorgeous lace stitch, with 14 stitches only; the yarn is so thick, that one repeat is enough to get the total width. Moreover, it’s a six-row repeat pattern, two of which are the same… pretty fun to knit. However, you can use this pattern to knit different projects, such as a blanket, a hat, or even a sweater or a cardigan. So, let’s knit a swatch before you start your chunky scarf, so you get familiar with the pattern (or can calculate how many stitches to cast…
