    How to Knit Reversible Hearts (One Knit + Purl pattern)

    March 13, 2024 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit reversible hearts, a pretty and super easy stitch pattern. Honestly, I’ve always loved the heart shape, and what I like the most is how versatile it can be, especially for us knitters. Although a Heart Fair Isle pattern would be my first choice, not many knitters are confident to try it when they are just starting. So, this pattern is perfect, because the only techniques required are knit and purl, such as The Pennant Stitch which we practiced a while ago. Besides, it’s perfect, not only for blankets, but also for children’s accessories, sweaters or cardigans, and home decor. For example, if you prefer…

    How to Knit a Reversible Variant of the Trellis Stitch

    February 22, 2024 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit a variant of the Trellis stitch (it reminds me of the Seersucker stitch we practiced years ago, but this one includes fewer rows). Why did I choose it? Well, because it has a lot of advantages for us knitters… First, it’s reversible (identical on both sides), which makes it a great pattern for dishcloths, blankets, scarves, etc. Second, it lays flat no matter what, so there’s no need to add edges or borders. Third, it’s a knit-and-purl pattern (we don’t have to increase, decrease, cross stitches, etc.).  If you are a newbie, I’m sure you can master this one!  Last, but not least, it…

    How to knit a very special Rib stitch pattern (two rows only)

    July 18, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit a very special Rib stitch, ideal for beginners. Actually, it’s a two-row repeat pattern, easy to do and easy to memorize, and pretty stretchy. Although both sides are not identical, I’d say it’s a reversible stitch, because both sides look pretty. In addition, the only techniques required are knit stitch and purl stitch… And from time to time, we’ll slip one stitch, which helps us create those gorgeous embossed columns of “v’s”. That’s the touch of elegance that makes this Ribbing so unusual 🙂 Finally, this is a great pattern for hems, cuffs, socks, gloves, hats, etc. Enough chatting! Grab your needles,…

    How to knit a super easy knit and purl stitch pattern

    May 3, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a super easy knit and purl stitch pattern, great for beginners. It creates pretty bands of Stockinette stitch, combined with sections of 1 x 1 knit + purl rows, but not so “busy” as the Tweed stitch with knits and purls only, for example. It’s quick as well as fun to knit, and did I mention… super easy: There are no increases, decreases, or crossed stitches. I’m sure that if you can knit and purl, you can do it! And I like it because it’s a lovely way to add some texture to the Stockinette stitch, and make it more interesting! In addition, you…

    How to knit the Seed Diamond stitch (knit and purl)

    April 8, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Seed Diamond stitch; another knit and purl pattern (because we knitters love them). It reminds me of the classic Diamond Brocade stitch we practiced a while ago, but this one is a bit “busier” 😉 It has a lovely texture to it (I believe that the Seed texture is always kind of cute). In fact, the Seed Diamond stitch is great for baby stuff, yet it will also work for a blankie, or a cushion. Honestly, it’s easy to knit; there is no need to increase or decrease (nor cross stitches). I’m sure that if you can knit and purl, you can do…

    How to knit the Checkered Rib stitch pattern

    February 22, 2023 /

    In this post you’ll learn how to knit the Checkered Rib stitch; a lovely knit and purl pattern. It reminds me of the Tweed stitch with knits and purls only that we practiced sometime ago. Actually it has the look of tartan fabric in a single color, and it will work with both, wool or cotton yarn (or their blends). Although both sides look a little bit different, they are practically the same (very pretty indeed) so to me, this is a reversible stitch. Honestly, I like the “wrong side” more 😉 In addition, the Checkered Rib is a four-row repeat pattern, easy to do, and easy to memorize (there…

    How to knit the Pique Rib stitch 2 (pay attention to your tension)

    January 25, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Pique Rib stitch 2; a four-row repeat pattern, super easy to do, and it doesn’t curl. In fact, it’s another lovely knit and purl stitch pattern, perfect for beginners. Although it shares the same DNA as the Pique Rib stitch we practiced a while ago, it’s less detailed… let’s say it’s a little less busy 😉 So it’s a nice option for a sweater or cardigan, for example. Having said that, it’s also a great pattern for a blanket, a scarf, a hat, or even a cushion, table mats, or table runners… it’s up to you! Besides, it’s not a reversible stitch, yet…

    How to knit the Tweed stitch with knits and purls only!

    October 8, 2022 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Tweed stitch, with knit and purl stitches only. Because I know that not every knitter is a fan of slipping stitches…  So, when I shared the classic Tweed stitch a while ago, some of my Woollies didn’t try it. Naughty, naughty little Woollies 😉 This is why today I’m sharing a pretty variant that only requires knit and purl… no slipped stitches at all! And it’s known around the world as “Harris Tweed”, an ancient Scottish clothing tradition. Actually, its check pattern design makes it ideal not only for scarves and cowls, but for blankets, cushions, placemats, and table runners, for example… your…

    How to knit the Waved Welt stitch (knit and purl pattern)

    October 5, 2022 /

    In this post, you’ll learn how to knit the Waved Welt stitch, another member of the Chevron pattern collection 😉 The Waved Welt stitch is easy to do; if you can knit and purl, you can do it (there is no need to slip stitches, increase or decrease)…yay! One of the reasons why I’ve chosen to show you this one is because the edges don’t curl or bend. This happens because of the frequency of knit and purl stitches per row. However, it’s possible that the undulation remains raised, so the steam iron could be your best friend here if you want your garment to be absolutely flat. Another advantage…

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit an easy two-row repeat pattern, great for scarves. The only techniques required are knit and purl stitches, so there is no need to increase, decrease, slip, or cross stitches… exactly as my doctor prescribed 🙂 So it is ideal not only for those who have experience but also for beginners. Why? Well, if you are a veteran, I’m sure you’ll agree with me that from time to time we need something easy that allows us to watch our favorite series while making a lovely garment.
