    How to knit the Chestnut stitch (4 rows only!)

    September 9, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Chestnut stitch, similar to the Hazelnut stitch which we practiced a while ago. Although it doesn’t create too much volume, it has a pretty texture to it, featuring little eyelets. It’s a four-row repeat pattern, easy to do, and fun to knit. In fact, the only techniques required are knit, purl, yarn over, slip one stitch, and pass the stitch over. The Chestnut stitch pattern is a great option for a wide range of projects: From shawls and throws, to cardigans or sweaters. Nevertheless, if your choice is to knit a scarf, a wrap, or any other garment that should stay…

    How to knit the Lace Scarf stitch (2 rows only!)

    August 26, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Lace Scarf stitch, an elegant vertical design, full of texture. The good news is that it will also work for accessories, such as infinite cowls, hats, gloves, mittens, etc. Moreover, you can use it for larger garments: Tops, wraps, cardigans, sweaters, and many other projects. It’s a two-row repeat pattern, fun to knit, and easy to do (it doesn’t matter if you’re not an expert knitting lace). Actually, the only techniques required are knit, purl, and the most common increase, and a simple decrease. Although is not identical on both sides, they look pretty, so I’d say it’s a reversible stitch. Besides, it’s…

    How to knit a super easy Eyelet stitch (beginner-friendly)

    August 12, 2023 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit a super easy Eyelet stitch. Although it’s an eight-row repeat pattern, I’d say it’s perfect for beginners. Why? Firstly, six of the eight rows are plain knit rows. And the other two include two easy steps: Yarn over, and purl two stitches together. In summary, if you can knit and purl, you can do it. Secondly, it doesn’t curl.  However, I’d suggest you knit a swatch first, just to double-check. Remember that not only the pattern is responsible for the curling factor, but your tension and the fiber you’re working with, also have an impact on the final result. If your swatch…

    In this post, you’ll learn how to knit the Lace Columns stitch, easy and fun to do. It’s a four-row repeat pattern, and its vertical design, is perfect for scarves, wraps or throws, seasonal tops, cardigans, or even sweaters. In fact, it’s similar to the Zig-Zag Lace nº 2 we practiced a while ago, yet easier 😉 The only techniques required are knit, purl, the most common decrease, and a simple increase, so there’s no reason to panic! Additionally, it’s a versatile stitch: Work with cotton yarn, bamboo, linen (or their blends), and you’ll create a light S/S garment. #ad However, if you want a warmer piece, substitute the yarns…

    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…

    April 11, 2023 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Fern Lace stitch; a four-row repeat pattern, uncomplicated, yet elegant. I think it’s perfect for a rectangular shawl or throw, but I’d also use it for a seasonal top, sweater, or cardigan. And I wanted to share it with you because the Fern Lace stitch is my way to show you how a leaves lace pattern can be made even if you identify as an unexperienced knitter 😉 Why? Well, because it looks complex… The good news is that as soon as you try it, you’ll find that the techniques we’ve been using for “simpler” patterns in the past are put…

    March 22, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Openwork Ladders stitch, in both, English and Continental styles. A lacy stitch pattern, simple yet pretty, just like the doctor ordered! Honestly, it’s not complicated at all: Only two rows and the steps are well-known to us knitters. In fact, we’ll be doing the most used increases and the most popular decrease there is. Additionally, it’s one of those vertical, stylish designs; it reminds me of another Two-row repeat Lace pattern we practiced some months ago. And maybe you’re wondering: What kind of garments is it good for? Well, the Openwork Ladders stitch is great for seasonal garments. Knit a wrap,…

    How to knit a Herringbone Lace stitch in two rows

    March 11, 2023 /

    The Herringbone Lace stitch is one of those patterns that we knitters love… Why? Well, the reasons are diverse! First of all, it’s a lovely stitch, easy to knit, and easy to memorize (it includes 2 or 3 steps that will be repeated throughout the fabric). Secondly, it’s a two-row repeat pattern. Actually, it’s similar to the Herringbone Lace stitch we practiced a while ago, more elaborate, and less lacy. Thirdly, it’s reversible. YEP!  Although it’s not identical on both sides, they look pretty (you can choose which one will be the right side for your project). Last but not least, this Herringbone Lace stitch can be used for Summer…

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit a super easy two-row repeat lace stitch pattern (easier than the last one we practiced…guaranteed!). Honestly, if you haven’t started to knit lace yet, or you have but still don’t feel comfortable, try this one! My suggestion? Begin with a small swatch and gain confidence as you go. It has a nice texture to it, and its vertical design makes it perfect for Spring-Summer garments, such as shawls, throws, or a jacket made out of cotton yarn, bamboo, linen (or its blends). However, when knitted in wool yarn, Alpaca, Cashmere, etc., this two-row repeat lace stitch will work beautifully in an Autumn-Winter scarf or…

    December 22, 2022 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Zig-Zag Lace #2 stitch; an eight-row repeat pattern, ideal for becoming a master/ mistress when knitting lace! Why? Well, this pattern involves the most common decreasing techniques (the simple decrease and knitting two stitches together), plus the most used increase there is, the yarn over. Actually, the Zig-Zag Lace #2 stitch has a lovely texture to it, sophisticated yet easy to do, because it’s pretty intuitive. I’ve used it for the sleeves of a cardigan, to add a subtle touch of lace, and it looks amazing! But it could be used for a whole sweater too; great if we’re looking for a fabric…
