How to Knit the Slip Stitch Honeycomb (free + video)
Today, I’m sharing how to knit the gorgeous Slip Stitch Honeycomb Pattern. It has a cute texture to it, which makes it perfect for baby/adult garments, such as blankets, sweaters, hats, socks, etc. Furthermore, it’s a four-row repeat pattern (two of which are plain purl rows), fun to knit and yet easy-peasy! Although both sides aren’t identical, the so-called “wrong side” of the work is similar to the Garter stitch, so I’d say it’s a reversible stitch. This is why the Slip Stitch Honeycomb pattern, will look great on a scarf or an infinite cowl too. Nevertheless, think of adding a nice edge in case you’d like to knit a…

How to Knit the Little Flowers stitch (4 rows only!)
Today, I’m sharing how to knit, the Little Flowers stitch, an amazing four-row repeat pattern! Its texture is simply spectacular; to me, this one is another pretty 3D knitting pattern, full of volume and texture. Besides, the so-called “wrong side” features an interesting design too, completely different, but also pretty. In other words, you can classify the Little Flowers stitch as a reversible pattern. Actually, I’d like to use it, not only for scarves, cowls, or blankets, but also for the sleeves of an oversized sweater or cardigan (just like the one I shared a couple of weeks ago). Nevertheless, I have to say that the sides tend to bend…

How to knit the Double Garter stitch (reversible)
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.

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 Spike stitch: One gorgeous pattern!
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 add texture to the Stockinette stitch
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,…

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 the Half Linen stitch pattern (4 rows only!)
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Half Linen stitch (known as the Woven stitch when knitted in one color). It’s fun to knit, and it’s a four-row repeat pattern, two of which are plain purl rows. The other techniques required are the knit stitch, and the slipped stitch, nothing that we haven’t practiced before 😉 In addition, I love that it’s similar to the Fair Isle (Jacquard) technique, but it’s much easier, and by combining red and white, you’ll get a pretty Christmas look! This is why it can be used for hats, cushions, placemats, table runners, and even sweaters or cardigans. Before I continue, let me…
