    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…

    How to knit the Diagonal Ladders stitch pattern

    September 10, 2022 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Diagonal Ladders stitch, another pattern great for beginners. 5Why? Well, because there is no need to increase or decrease…yep! Actually, the only techniques required are knit + purl… easy-peasy!  It reminds me of the Double Andalusian stitch we practiced a while ago… we could say they share the same DNA 😉 The Diagonal Ladders stitch is a four-row repeat pattern, and the repeat is short, so it doesn’t matter if you are just starting to knit. In addition, it’s a reversible stitch; although both sides aren’t identical, they look adorable, so you are free to choose which one will be the right side…

    How to knit Subtle Stripes in Garter stitch (one row only)

    May 14, 2022 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit Subtle Stripes in Garter stitch, a super easy knitting pattern, perfect for beginners. Why? The reasons vary: First of all, it’s a one-row repeat pattern. It involves only two steps that will be repeated throughout the project, so it’s pretty easy to memorize. Secondly, it lays flat no matter what (as we knitters like). Thirdly, it’s reversible (identical on both sides); ideal for scarves, rectangular shawls, infinite cowls, blankets, and a wide range of projects. Although it looks like the Ribbed Garter stitch we practiced a while ago, I have to say that these stripes are more tenuous, more delicate. Last but not least,…

    How to knit a second version of the famous Mock English Rib stitch

    February 18, 2022 /

    In this post, you’ll learn a second version of the Mock English Rib stitch; I shared the first one some months ago, and it’s also adorable! Although both stitches look similar, the main differences are: This one looks flatter; the columns of “v’s” aren’t raised as in the first version. And this second version isn’t as stretchy as the anterior. So I wouldn’t use it for the cuffs of hats, sweaters, or socks. In fact, I think it’s a great pattern for blankies. However, they share most of the details: 1) They’re two-row repeat patterns 2) Both are reversible and identical on both sides 3) They lay flat 4) There’s…

    How to knit the Thermal stitch: For veterans and absolute beginners!

    February 11, 2022 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Thermal stitch, known also as “Interrupted Rib” (similar to the Pique stitch we practiced a couple of weeks ago). It’s a four-row repeat pattern, that’s totally beginner-friendly! Why? Well, there are some reasons: First of all, it’s simple to knit; the Thermal stitch combines knits and purls only. In fact, there are no increases, decreases, or crossing stitches involved… easy peasy. What’s more, two of the four rows are plain knit and purl rows! Secondly,  although both sides are not identical, you can decide which one will be the “right side”, because the two of them look nice 😉 Honestly, I…

    How to knit the Pique Rib stitch: Great for beginners

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Pique Rib stitch; super easy to do, ideal for beginners (it combines simple knit and purl stitches). It’s a reversible four-row repeat pattern (although both sides are different, they look pretty); the so-called “wrong side of the work” looks like a “Broken Rib stitch. Two of the four rows are identical, and one of them is a plain knit row, so if you are just starting to knit, this one is for you! Furthermore, the Pique Rib stitch stays flat, so it’s perfect for accessories such as scarves, cowls, wraps, etc., but also for larger pieces, such as blankets, sweaters, or…

    How to knit a Super Easy One-Row Repeat pattern

    December 11, 2021 /

    Today, I’m sharing a super easy one-row repeat knitting pattern, perfect for a lot of projects, such as scarves, blankies, infinite cowls, wraps, or throws…you name it! Why? First and foremost, it lays flat; it doesn’t roll up or bend on any side, so it’s not necessary to add an edge.  It’s a reversible pattern, almost identical on both sides. Furthermore, it’s a vertical pattern, great for long garments; it forms both, embossed columns of “v” and pleats, for a slim and elegant design. In addition, it’s an easy-peasy one-row repeat pattern. It’s made of plain knit + purl stitches (no increases nor decreases are needed). Finally, in the video…

    Easy two-row repeat knit stitch, for scarves and blankets

    November 20, 2021 /

    Today, I’m sharing a lovely two-row repeat knit stitch, great for scarves, blankies, and infinite cowls. Its design creates embossed columns, with crispy and gorgeous vertical lines. Not only is it easy to make and memorize, its also reversible (not identical on both sides, but the other side of the work looks gorgeous too). Additionally, this two-row repeat pattern stays flat all the time, so there’s no need to think about edges 😉 If you’re starting to knit, my suggestion is to get sharp tip needles. This will make everything easier; the sharp tip helps to get two stitches together, and to purl a stitch through the back loop!  Believe…

    November 14, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit and bind off the Fisherman’s Rib using only knit stitches (no purling required, yay!!!). Similar to the original one, we practiced a while ago, this version is simply brilliant! Why? Well… this pattern features everything we knitters love: First of all, it’s a one-row repeat pattern: We’ll start with a setup row which will be done just once, and from there, there is only one row to repeat until the project is finished. Secondly, it’s pretty easy to knit: There are only two steps to memorize. Could not be easier! In third place, it’s a totally reversible pattern (identical on both sides).…

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Mock Cable Ribbing stitch, both, back and forth, and in the round, a two-row repeat pattern, full of texture. Although each side is not identical, they both look pretty nice, so I’d say it’s reversible. At the same time, it’s easy to knit, the only techniques required are knitting and purling, plus a simple twist 😉 In addition, the Mock Cable Ribbing can be used to substitute the normal 2 x 2 Rib stitch, or as the main stitch, perfect for scarves, blankies, cowls… you name it! Last, but not least, before starting a whole project, I’d suggest you knit a swatch.  Depending…
