    How to knit and bind off the Brioche stitch

    March 15, 2023 /

    The Brioche stitch is another classic of the knitting world, and today, I’ll show you how to knit it, and how to bind it off. Without a doubt, it creates an incredibly spongy fabric, which makes it perfect for Winter garments (similar to the infamous Fisherman’s Rib stitch). Additionally, it’s a two-row repeat reversible pattern (identical on both sides), so, many knitters love it for scarves. Although it also looks great on a sweater, using wool yarn, cotton yarn, or their blends (it’s pretty versatile too). Furthermore, it lays flat, you’ll never ever see it curling, rolling, or bending! However, it involves a different way of knitting: Almost every stitch…

    How to knit the Sailor’s Rib stitch pattern (only 4 rows!)

    January 17, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Sailor’s Rib stitch; a textured pattern, full of advantages for us knitters (similar yet more detailed than the Little Boxes stitch we practiced years ago). Firstly, it’s a super easy four-row repeat pattern, which combines only knit and purl stitches, great for beginners (no need to increase or decrease at all). Secondly, although both sides are different, I’d say that the Sailor’s Rib stitch is a reversible knitting pattern. Why? Well, the so-called “wrong side” of the work looks pretty too, so it’s a nice option for scarves, throws, blankets, etc. Last but not least, it doesn’t curl or bend. The fabric lays…

    How to knit a textured stitch pattern in just two rows

    December 7, 2022 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a textured stitch pattern, in just two rows! Actually, if you can knit and purl, this one is for you; it’s so easy that one of those two rows is a plain purl row 😉 Although this textured stitch is not identical on both sides, to me, it’s a reversible pattern… Why? Well, both sides of the work look amazing, so you can decide which side you want to be the right side of your project. It reminds me of the Jute stitch that we practiced a while ago, but the other side of the work has a richer texture to it, it’s gorgeous…

    How to knit the Shadow Rib stitch (two rows only!)

    November 6, 2022 /

    In this tutorial, I’m showing how to knit the Shadow Rib stitch pattern. It’s a pretty stitch, super easy to knit, and quick to memorize. Before starting, I’d like to clarify that it has nothing to do with the Shadow knitting technique we practiced a while ago. The Shadow stitch is a two-row repeat pattern; a lovely combination of knits and purls, ideal for beginners. Additionally, one of its advantages is that it does not curl. In fact, the frequency of knit and purl stitches on every odd row produces a flat fabric; another great option for scarves, blankets, cowls, and blankets. Although both sides look different, the so-called wrong…

    How to knit a One-row stitch pattern for Scarves

    October 29, 2022 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit a spectacular one-row knitting pattern! It’s fun to knit and pretty easy to memorize 😉 In fact, it involves three steps that are repeated from the beginning to the end of the project, that is, you only have to repeat row 1 all the time. Yay! In addition, it’s identical on both sides of the fabric, which makes it perfect for knitting scarves and infinity cowls. This one-row knitting pattern has a gorgeous texture to it, which is achieved with these two techniques: A left-leaning increase, and a left-leaning decrease, both of them already been implemented in other tutorials. Honestly, it’s precisely this combination…

    How to knit the Horizontal Welts stitch (reversible)

    July 13, 2022 /

    In today’s post, I’m sharing how to knit the Horizontal Welts stitch, another pattern ideal for beginners 🙂 Actually, it’s the perfect knit stitch for hats. Why? Basically, you don’t need to keep track of the stitch count… to make the decreases! By using this stitch, you can knit hats in several sizes, following any pattern you have on hand, and decrease when it’s needed (no calculations required)… YEAP! This is because each row will be knitted or purled entirely; there are no repetitions of different kinds of stitches. Furthermore, the Horizontal Welts stitch is a six-row repeat pattern, pretty easy to do (your only mission is to be aware…

    How to knit the Double Garter Rib stitch (only two rows)

    July 1, 2022 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the Double Garter Rib stitch, step by step. Honestly, I think it’s a perfect stitch for borders or edges; especially when we don’t need them to be stretchy (as they would be when using the classic 2 x 2 Ribbing). For instance, use it on each side of a blanket, of a scarf, or on each side of an infinite cowl in case you used a stitch that curls or bends. In other words, it’s a substitute for the Seed stitch, Garter stitch, or the Irish Moss stitch. However, the Double Garter Rib is a pretty versatile pattern. It will also work…

    How to knit the Half Garter Rib stitch (two rows only!)

    January 29, 2022 /

    In this post, I’ll show you how to knit the Half Garter Rib stitch; another great pattern for beginners (if you can knit and purl, you can do it!). One of the reasons why this pattern is so easy to do (and to memorize) is that it involves two rows only, one of which is a plain knit row. Could not be easier! Moreover, it’s a reversible pattern; although both sides aren’t identical, the other side of the work has also an interesting texture to it, you’ll see. Similar to the Mock Rib Stitch, the Half Garter Rib stitch doesn’t roll up, so it will work for a wide range…

    How to knit the Horizontal stitch: A reversible two-row repeat pattern

    June 29, 2021 /

    The Horizontal stitch is an adorable two-row repeat pattern, not complicated at all, great for beginners (no purling needed!). Although its sides aren’t identical, both look pretty, and as such this is why its reversible imho. Why? Well, one of the sides features a wavy texture; the other, a bumpy pattern with vertical lines that prevent the fabric from curling 🙂 It’s also easy and fun to knit: One row is a plain knitting row; the other, involves knit stitches and slip stitches, which makes us to progress rapidly… something that we knitters love, don’t we? Bellow are two swatches, both made of 100% cotton yarn for US 6 needles…

    Acorn knitting stitch pattern: Reversible and unisex

    January 30, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Acorn stitch pattern, step by step. Another classic of the knitting world which I wanted to share a long time ago, but as with the Honeycomb stitch we learned last week, I never had the time, these days we all have a little extra. It’s a unisex, reversible pattern (although not identical on both sides), it doesn’t curl, so it’s a great choice when knitting women’s and men’s scarves, cowls and sweaters. The Acorn knitting stitch creates a fabric that mixes density and subtlety and even includes lacey bits. It’s easy to knit, because it’s very intuitive: You can see clearly…
