    How to knit the Braided Basket stitch pattern

    May 20, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the beautiful Braided Basket stitch. It’s a four-row repeat pattern, easy and fun to knit, and pretty similar to the infamous Criss Cross stitch we practiced a while ago. The main difference is that to knit the Braided Basket stitch, we have to cross the stitches using a “cable needle”; a third needle or a stitch holder will do the job equally well. None of those tools are essential, so please remain calm and carry on reading 😉 Top tip time, do as I do: Use a bobby pin or a hair clip; the result will be the same, and they are short enough…

    How to knit the Purl Twist stitch pattern, step by step

    October 21, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Purl Twist stitch, a four-row repeat pattern with a twist… And it has nothing to do with knitting or purling through the back loop 😉 In fact, I’m showing you how to cross stitches without using a cable needle; a simple way to do right-leaning, almost diagonal stitches, without a lot of effort. Additionally, the Purl Twist stitch creates a lovely fabric, which has a rich texture to it, similar to a wicker basket (like the Jute stitch pattern). Therefore, it’s a great pattern for accessories, such as hats, gloves, socks, etc., and also, for sweaters, cardigans, even a blanket. However,…

    Cross stitch pattern: For knitting cowls, scarves and hats

    May 12, 2020 /

    In today’s tutorial, a gorgeous cross stitch pattern, easy to knit, it has a rich texture to it, and it’s perfect for knitting cowls, scarves, hats, even jumpers and cardigans (for women, men and children). I love it! Similar to the Cross stitch we practiced sometime ago, this one is a four-row repeat pattern, and although it doesn’t curl, it’s better to knit a nice edge on each side (for example in Garter stitch, Seed stitch, or 1×1 Rib stitch), because the stitch crossing makes the sides of the fabric a little bit skewed (it won’t be a straight square or rectangle, it will look more like a parallelogram). But…

    Spine stitch: A two-row repeat knitting pattern

    October 19, 2019 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Spine stitch. A crossed pattern, easy to knit (there are only two steps and two rows to memorize). This dense stitch has a beautiful texture, and in this lesson, you’ll also learn how to cross stitches without using a cable needle. The Spine stitch is ideal for knitting an infinity cowl, a maxi scarf, a sweater, or a rectangular shawl. It’s not reversible, but it’s perfect for any big piece (using thick wool and big needles, to get the chunky look!). It shares the same DNA as the: Crest stitch Crossed Check stitch Abbreviations CO: Cast on st: Stitch RS: Right…

    Crossed Check stitch knitting pattern (it doesn’t curl!)

    September 22, 2019 /

    The Crossed Check knitting pattern is a great reason to learn how to cross stitches without using a cable needle. This is a perfect stitch for knitting women’s, men’s and baby garments, such as scarves, cowls, sweaters, and blankets (it doesn’t curl). A textured knit and purl pattern, easy to knit, similar to the Diagonal to the right stitch, or the Little Checks stitch. OK … let’s get started!
