    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!

    July 17, 2021 /

    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…

    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…

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Embossed Blocks stitch pattern: Super easy, reversible (although it’s not identical on both sides, the “right” and the “wrong” sides look pretty!). Furthermore, it’s also a unisex stitch pattern, so it could be used to knit women’s, children’s, and men’s garments, such as scarves, blankies, cushions, cowls…you name it! And it doesn’t matter if you are just starting to knit: The Embossed Blocks stitch is a 8 row-repeat pattern. Most of those rows are exactly the same, so it’s not difficult to memorize.

    Easier than the classic Fisherman’s Rib stitch, the Shaker stitch (aka Half Fisherman’s Rib) is ideal for beginners.  It’s a simple two-row repeat pattern, and there is only one step to memorize; the odd rows are just knit rows.  This version is a delicate pattern, less spongy than the original one, and it doesn’t curl either.

    Horizontal slipped stitch: A reversible, two-row repeat knitting pattern

    January 24, 2020 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn a pretty stitch: The Horizontal Slipped stitch. This pattern is quite delicate, elegant, yet easy to knit: a two-row repeat stitch that combines knits and purls while slipping a couple of stitches. It’s a unisex and reversible stitch (both sides look beautiful, although they are not identical), ideal for knitting women’s and men’s cowls, scarves and sweaters. Before recording the video tutorial I knitted several swatches using different yarn qualities and thicknesses… And my suggestion is to use a mildly thin yarn, for example, DK or light worsted weight yarn, for US 6 (4 mm) knitting needles. And this swatch was knitted using one of…
