How to knit the Textured Ribbons stitch pattern
Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Textured Ribbons stitch… another classic of the knitting world. It has a lovely texture to it, perfect for large pieces, such as sweaters, cardigans, vests, blankets, etc., yet suitable for accessories too, such as hats, mittens, and socks. Actually, it’s a way to create little rectangles, divided by slipped stitches; it reminds me of one of the Waffle stitch patterns we’ve practiced in the past. Although it’s not identical on both sides, they look pretty, so I’d say it’s a reversible stitch. Furthermore, it doesn’t curl! So if you want to knit a scarf, go ahead! In addition, the Textured Ribbons stitch looks like…

How to knit the Drizzle stitch pattern (English & Continental style)
In today’s tutorial I’m sharing how to knit the Drizzle Stitch, step by step. Honestly, I have to confess that when I saw it, I fell in love (among other things, because it forms a tiny pattern, a lovely design that will show up even in the smallest garments. It’s an adorable four-row repeat pattern, two of which are plain purl rows. In fact, one of the things that I like the most about the Drizzle stitch is that despite having slip stitches, the fabric does not tighten or shrink, as sometimes happens. Probably, it’s because of those alternating purl rows; they make the fabric “rest and relax”, let’s say.…

Tweed Stitch: A famous knitting pattern + video
In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn a classic knitting pattern: The Tweed stitch. It’s a two-row repeat pattern, that combines knitting, purling, and slipping stitches. The Tweed stitch looks like a factory-made fabric when finished: It lays flat, it has an adorable texture to it, great for knitting something special…maybe a Chanel-style jacket, a kilt for that Scotsman in your life, or even a fancy scarf? I love both sides of the fabric, so to me, it’s more a reversible stitch, and also it’s unisex, it works for both women’s and men’s garments. This is one side of the work: Abbreviations CO: Cast on st: Stitch K: knit P: Purl wyif:…

My version of the Waffle knitting stitch pattern + video
Hello my little Woollies! In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing with you how to knit my version of the famous Waffle stitch.

Arrowhead Slipped Stitch (knitting patterns for variegated yarn Part 3)
This is the third part of the multicolored yarns tutorial series, today we’ll learn how to knit the arrowhead slipped stitch or as I call it… the “Game of Thrones” stitch. If you missed the first part, find it here! A stitch, that is not only unusual but utilitarian and unisex, it doesn’t curl (but it’s not reversible).

Easy to knit (a lot easier than it looks), it has a gorgeous texture to it, great for knitting cushions, blankets, tablecloths, table runners, carpets, etc. The Diagonal Slipped stitch pattern looks like upholstery fabric, so it will work for knitting bags, but also in women’s and men’s cowls and scarves, because it’s unisex (it shares the same DNA as the Horizontal Slipped stitch we learned some weeks ago). It tends to curl, so it’s best to knit a nice edge on each side, if the garment you are making should stay flat. It’s not reversible, but the…
