    How to Knit the Fisherman’s Rib Stitch: 1 Row + Video

    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).…

    How to knit the Mock Cable Ribbing stitch

    October 28, 2021 /

    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…

    How to knit the cute Pennant stitch – it lays flat, no matter what!

    September 19, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Pennant stitch, a cute six-row repeat pattern, which combines knits and purls only. Similar to the Embossed Blocks stitch, we practiced sometime ago, the Pennant stitch creates an unusual horizontal motif (the vertical patterns are more common, I have to say). However, it’s an easy-peasy stitch. I love it because it’s also reversible (it looks gorgeous on both sides), and it lays flat (no need to think about adding edges at all!). Above all, the Pennant stitch has a lovely texture to it; it forms little flags which appear raised or embossed. I like it for baby stuff, maybe a blanket,…

    How to knit the Mock English Rib stitch

    July 30, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing a variant of the Mock English Rib which is one of my favorites (two weeks ago we practiced a similar two-row repeat pattern, dedicated to all those knitters that don’t love to purl). Why am I a fan of this version? First of all, because of its amazing texture, formed by the combination of knits and purls only; there is no need for slipping stitches. This pattern creates embossed columns, crispy and gorgeous vertical lines. Secondly, this variant of the Mock English Rib is pretty easy to knit, perfect for beginners: When you try it, you’ll see that it’s basically a 2 x 2 rib,…

    How to knit the Two-Color Reversible Ribbing stitch

    July 27, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the classic 1 x 1 Rib stitch, with a twist: Using two colors, we’ll create a solid reversible fabric, identical on both sides.  Certainly, I’m a fan of different kinds of Ribbing stitches, and we have practiced some of them in the past, like the adorable Feather Rib knitting pattern 😉 But I have to say that the Two-Color Reversible Ribbing is pretty special. It’s an eye-catching pattern because the columns of knit stitches appear clearly raised, alternating colors on each row. In fact, it’s a lovely option for scarves; depending on the combination of colors chosen, the result can be subtle,…

    New Two-Row repeat knitting stitch, perfect for knitting scarves – No purling required!

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing an adorable stitch, ideal for beginners. This is a new two-row repeat knitting pattern, perfect for scarves, because it’s reversible (identical on both sides), and unisex. Actually, it’s so easy, that you don’t even have to purl: The pattern requires knits and slip-stitches only! It looks pretty similar to the Double Slip-Stitch Rib pattern, but it’s even easier 😉 Furthermore, it stays flat, so it can be used for blankets, cowls, bags, table runners, place mats, cushions, and many other projects, the possibilities are endless! Finally, in the video tutorial, you’ll see how it’s done in both English and Continental style… ooh la la. Ok,…

    Double Moss stitch and how to control the tension in your knitting

    June 26, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn another classic in the knitting world: The Double Moss stitch, its great for beginners. Sure, it’ll sound familiar for all of us veterans, but I’ve noticed that it’s often mistaken for the Irish Moss stitch. Although at first sight they may seem the same, the main difference is that the term “double” refers to working the stitches in pairs (knit 2, purl 2 and vice versa). On the contrary, when knitting the Irish Moss pattern, the stitches are worked one by one (knit 1, purl 1 and vice versa). So I decided to demonstrate it both in English and Continental style, yes, yes I know,…

    How to knit the Rickrack Rib stitch: A two-row repeat pattern that doesn’t curl

    June 12, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the famous Rickrack Rib stitch (which reminds me of the beautiful Feather Rib stitch). First of all, it’s a reversible pattern (although its sides are not identical, both create two eye-catching textures), and furthermore, it doesn’t curl… Yay! Secondly, the Rickrack Rib stitch is a unisex stitch: It’ll work perfectly for girls’, boys’ of all ages, and children’s garments too.  In addition, it has a double rich texture to it: One of the sides forms embossed zig-zag columns; the other looks similar to the Textured Stockinette stitch. Consequently, it’s a charming option for knitting the cuffs of your sweaters and socks, gloves,…

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

    May 26, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Jute stitch. It’s one of those “most searched for” stitches (similar to the Horizontal Slipped stitch we practiced a while ago).  Why? Well, first of all, it’s a two-row repeat pattern, which makes things a lot less complicated. Secondly, it’s a reversible stitch; although its two sides are different, both look adorable! Furthermore, it’s a unisex pattern: It can be used for women’s, men’s, and children’s garments. On the other hand, to test if it lays flat or not, I’ve used two different qualities and thicknesses:  For the video tutorial, the swatch is made out 100% wool and 10,5 US size…

    Little Arrows knitting stitch pattern: Reversible, and it doesn’t curl!

    May 22, 2021 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Little Arrows stitch (similar to the Reversible Chevron stitch we learned a while ago, but much easier). A cute and delicate pattern, that features additional advantages: For starters, I want you to know that it’s pretty easy to do.  The Little Arrow stitch is totally suitable for beginners, because it only requires knitting and purling (no increases, decreases, nor cables are needed). Secondly, it’s a reversible knitting pattern. Although it’s not identical on both sides, they both look really nice so you can choose whichever side you prefer. Moreover, due to the combination of knits and purls in each of its…
