    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 Lacy Chevrons stitch (2 rows only!)

    April 4, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Lacy Chevrons stitch, a beautiful lace pattern without a doubt! By the way, this is the first time I’m knitting this sort of pattern in a lace version. So far, all my Chevron patterns were dense (the Reversible Shadow Chevron is my favorite). One of the things I love the most about this pattern, apart from its design, rich in texture, is that it only takes two rows to make it! Although it looks complex, you’ll see that once you’ve worked a couple of rows, it’s pretty intuitive. In fact, the steps are known by us knitters, and it’s a great…

    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…

    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 Fancy Openwork stitch pattern

    September 24, 2022 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Fancy Openwork stitch, which as you know is absolutely gorgeous 🙂 It’s a four-row repeat pattern, two of which are plain purl rows… easy-peasy! In fact, when working the odd rows, the only two techniques used are: yarn over, and knit three stitches together. And the same steps will be repeated throughout those two rows, so it’s also quick to memorize. The Fancy Openwork stitch is a pretty versatile pattern: Use wool (or any of its blends), for Autumn-Winter clothing and accessories. Or use cotton or linen, or their blends, for Spring-Summer garments. In addition, it’s a great pattern for scarves, cowls, tops,…

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit Easy Lace Stripes: A one-row repeat reversible pattern, super easy to knit. If you want to learn how to knit lace, this is the perfect pattern! Just work on three simple steps that will be repeated throughout the project 😉 And the good news is that you don’t even have to purl! In fact, the only techniques required are knit stitches, yarn over, and knit two stitches together (the easiest increase and decrease there are out there ;). As per The Witch’s Ladder stitch that we practiced a couple of weeks ago, the Easy Lace Stripes is a proper lace pattern because…

    June 10, 2022 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Witch’s Ladder stitch: A one-row repeat pattern, super easy to knit. If you’re still intimidated by lace stitches, I suggest you try this one, because it only takes two simple steps. Actually, the only two techniques used are: yarn over, and knit two stitches together (the easiest decrease there is). As I have mentioned in other tutorials, there is a difference between openwork patterns and lace stitches. In the first case, the even rows are purled, and the decreases and increases that form the pattern are made on the odd rows. However, when we knit the so-called Lace Stitches, we work decreases and…

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the English Mesh Lace stitch, step by step (It’s terribly, awfully, good, old bean 😉  Although it looks complicated at first sight, it only requires two types of simple decreases, a central double decrease, and yarn over. The reason why two different decreases are needed is that each of them has a different slope; this is how this rich texture can be achieved (as we’ve learned when practicing the Thorn stitch). Honestly, the English Mesh Lace stitch is the perfect option for a shawl or a scarf, but also, it will work for a nice cardigan or vest! It has a vintage…

    In the last post, I shared the Mock Turkish stitch knitting pattern, and some followers asked me if I had any plans to share instructions for the original. Also, in the previous video tutorial, I demonstrated the difference between the yarn over (before a knit stitch, and the “yarn round needle” (before a purl stitch). The good news is that this one is so much simpler, I swear! So today is about how to knit the classic Turkish stitch, an adorable one-row repeat pattern, so easy that it includes only four steps to be repeated throughout the project.
