    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…

    How to knit the Fern Lace stitch (four rows only)

    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…

    How to knit the Openwork Ladders stitch (just two rows)

    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…

    February 26, 2023 /

    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…

    How to knit the Zig-Zag Lace #2 stitch pattern

    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…

    How to knit the Eyelet rows stitch (no purling!)

    June 24, 2022 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Eyelet rows stitch, one of those patterns that we knitters love… It’s a lovely yet versatile design, easy-peasy, so it doesn’t matter if you’re just starting to knit. Why? Essentially because the Eyelet rows, is a four-row repeat pattern, three of which are plain knit rows. Our “work” consists of two basic steps that will be repeated throughout the fourth row: Yarn over + simple decrease. So, no purling is required! YAY! The result is a pattern that we can use to knit the whole garment, or with Garter or Stockinette stitch sections. Honestly, it reminds me of a period in my life…

    How to knit the Mock Turkish stitch: A pretty two-row pattern

    February 25, 2022 /

    The Mock Turkish stitch is one of those lace patterns that knitters love… Why? Well, there are several important reasons: Undoubtedly, lace knitting is infamous for its complexity, a technique that consists of creating a hollowed fabric, through increases and decreases.  Not just because of the long repetitions, nor the number of rows needed to form a pattern, but also due to the fact that mistakes take time and a lot of fiddling to fix. On the contrary, the Mock Turkish stitch is a two-row repeat pattern, that I’m sure you’ll memorize quickly because it involves only two steps to be repeated on each row. According to some knitters (and…

    April 19, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing the Snowdrops Eyelets knitting stitch pattern, because it’s one of those that I learned as a child.  Actually, when I was just 13 years old, I knitted a three-quarter sleeve sweater using this stitch, and then I totally forgot about it. Besides it’s a lovely stitch, the Snowdrops Eyelets pattern is so easy to knit, that it can be your first lace pattern to try. No matter if you have little or no experience at all knitting lace stitches. Furthermore, the Snowdrops Eyelets stitch pattern is perfect for knitting scarves, cowls, throws or wraps, since it lays flat. But it’s also a nice option when…
