    Embossed Blocks knitting stitch pattern: Reversible, unisex, and it doesn’t curl

    April 12, 2021 /

    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. The Embossed Blocks knitting pattern is similar to the Little Boxes stitch we practiced some time ago, another…

    A version of the Waffle stitch knitting pattern ideal for beginners

    October 30, 2020 /

    This new version of the Waffle stitch knitting pattern is ideal for beginners: It’s super easy to do (the only techniques required are the knit stitch and the purl), it’s reversible (both sides look pretty), and also unisex. It’s the perfect stitch for knitting women’s and men’s scarves, but also hats, blankets, cushions, bags…the options are endless! This Waffle stitch pattern is easier than the last one I shared (there are only four rows of plain knitting and purling). Let’s get started!

    Shaker stitch knitting pattern (Half Fisherman’s Rib)

    March 10, 2020 /

    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. The Shaker stitch, reversible and unisex, is perfect for knitting women’s and men’s scarves, cowls, sweaters, blankets, but also baby garments. Let’s get started!

    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…

    Classic and Striped Moss stitches: Reversible and they don’t curl (for knitting blankets and scarves)

    January 16, 2020 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn two different stitches: The classic Moss stitch, and, by adding a couple of rows, the striped Moss stitch; a more horizontal pattern design. I designed this new striped moss version myself, specifically for knitting scarves and blankets, because it’s reversible (practically identical on both sides), and it doesn’t curl. No extra edges are necessary! This striped moss stitch has a great texture to it, it’s pretty easy to knit (and to memorize), ideal for beginners: If you can knit and purl, you can knit this new stitch without a doubt.

    Broken Rib stitch: A one-row repeat knitting pattern, identical on both sides

    December 9, 2019 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit a beautiful version of the Broken Rib stitch, similar to the Mock Rib pattern, that we learned a couple of weeks ago, only easier. There are many versions of the Broken Rib knitting stitch, but I have to confess that I’m in love with this one: Only one-row and two steps to memorize! One of the many advantages of this version is that it’s identical on both sides. Furthermore, it doesn’t curl. It is the perfect stitch to knit a women’s and men’s scarf, cowl, sweater, top, wrap, or blanket.  The easy combination of knits and purls gives an elegant texture to…

    Feather Rib knitting pattern: A two-row repeat stitch

    November 7, 2019 /

    In this tutorial, you will learn how to knit the Feather Rib pattern: An alternative to the traditional Ribbing stitch. Easy and quick to knit (it’s a two-row repeat stitch), textured (feathers are embossed), and it includes a little bit of lace. Those of us who knit sweaters and cardigans on a regular basis, sometimes get weary of knitting the usual 1×1 and 2×2 ribbing stitches… So it´s nice to have an inventory of different options for stitches to knit the hems and cuffs of our sweaters. It’s motivating and it creates great enthusiasm for a new project (IMHO). The Feather Rib pattern is especially suitable when knitting a sweater…

    Edelweiss stitch knitting pattern: Easy, reversible, and it doesn’t curl!

    March 4, 2019 /

    The Edelweiss stitch is one of the easiest and most beautiful of the dense knitting stitch patterns that I know. Even cuter than the Easy stitch pattern for Baby clothing we learned a while ago 😉 It’s a reversible stitch (both sides are adorable), and it doesn’t curl. A perfect choice for knitting blankets, scarves, cowls, jumpers, baby clothing…you name it. Its texture resembles the rare alpine flower called Edelweiss found high up in the Swiss alps… Four rows create the pattern, and there is just one step to memorize…so let’s get started!

    A great combination of knits and purls, so easy to knit, with only a few steps to remember, ideal for beginners. The Seersucker knitting stitch creates a textured fabric, reversible, perfect to knit scarves and cowls, because it produces a flat fabric. But you can knit a blanket, baby clothing, sweaters, bags…anything you like (just like the Diagonal stitch to the right, from last lesson.
