    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…

    How to knit an easy two-row repeat lace stitch

    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…

    Today we are going to learn an adorable lace stitch pattern, ideal for knitting baby blankets, market bags, a Spring top or a Summer jumper/cardigan. The Lace Net stitch pattern is similar to the “Most charming Lace Mesh pattern” we learned sometime ago, but somehow it looks more complex. Calm down ;)! It’s super easy to knit: only four rows to repeat (the odd rows are plain purl rows), and the lace work isn’t complicated at all (the same steps are repeated time after time). This swatch was knitted using 100% cotton yarn and a pair of gorgeous (and sharp tip) US 6 (4 mm) needles: For best results, I…

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit a vertical lace stitch, great for knitting a wide range of projects, because it’s reversible (identical on both sides), and it doesn’t curl!  This reversible lace knitting stitch is a two-row repeat pattern, full of texture, and pretty easy to memorize (there are just a couple of simple steps to remember). This is another so called “true lace” knitting pattern (same category as the Saint John’s Wort stitch we practiced last week), because the alternative rows are not just plain purl rows. The lace is worked in each row. Before we start, please do remember my two “must-dos” when lace knitting: Always…

    How to knit lace in two easy steps (one-row stitch pattern)

    October 12, 2019 /

    In today’s class, you’ll learn how to knit lace in two easy steps. This is a one-row stitch pattern, reversible (it’s identical on both sides) and great for beginners.   This is a perfect stitch to knit a light, airy scarf, wrap or a rectangular shawl, the perfect accessory when you find yourself noticing a little chill in the air (during spring and autumn)… best of all it lays flat (it doesn’t roll up). In order to get a better result, one of my suggestions is to use needles at least one size larger than the recommended by the manufacturer. This swatch is knitted in cotton for 4.5 mm needles…
