    An Alternative to the Stockinette that Knitters Should Know

    January 18, 2025 /

    Today, I’m sharing an alternative to the Stockinette (Stocking) stitch we knitters should know. Why? The answer is pretty simple: Because it’s nice to have options! We all love the Stockinette stitch, but maybe, 2 main reasons make us think of an alternative: 1) It curls! Yep, the classic Stockinette stitch doesn’t lay flat, no matter what you do. Of course, you can always block the garment… 2) It could be a bit boring if you have to knit a big piece. I know sometimes you want to knit and watch your favorite TV show, so it’s better to be free of counting or paying attention to your knit work.…

    How to Knit the Easy Mock Cables Stitch Pattern + Video

    October 30, 2024 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Easy Mock Cables Stitch, a lovely knit and purl stitch, great for beginners 🙂 Actually, if you can knit and purl, this one is for you (there are no slipped stitches, nor decreasing or increasing). It’s another vertical pattern and has a pretty texture to it (featuring embossed diagonal lines). Furthermore, although both sides are different, the so-called wrong side looks cute too, so I’d say it’s a reversible stitch. The Easy Mock Cables Pattern is ideal for both, large and small projects, such as socks, hats, scarves, blankets, and sweaters. Ok, it’s time to knit!  Grab your needles and your favorite yarn,…

    How to Knit the Grass Stitch (stretchy and reversible) + video

    June 15, 2024 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Grass Stitch, a knit and purl pattern, stretchy, and reversible (identical on both sides). Another pattern that has everything we knitters love… Although it’s an eight-row repeat design, the good news is that the first 4 rows are identical, and the other 4 are identical too. Furthermore, it doesn’t curl (so, there’s no need to block your garments 🙂 The Grass stitch is an adorable pattern not only for scarves, blankets, and sweaters, but also for hats, cowls, and bags. Honestly, it reminds me of the Rambler Stitch, with the advantage that it’s much much easier to do. In addition, it will work…

    Easy Knit and Purl Stitch Pattern for Scarves + video

    May 11, 2024 /

    Today, you’ll learn an easy knit and purl stitch perfect for scarves; absolutely beginner-friendly. After my last tutorial, another nice lady, follower from my YouTube channel, sent it to me, and I realized, once again, how easy pretty stitch patterns can be 😉 Actually, it’s not only great for scarves; this is a great pattern for blankets, throws, and rectangular shawls. Furthermore, it’ll also work beautifully for baby clothing and accessories. It reminds me of this anti and purl version of the Double Garter Stitch we practiced a while ago. Why? First, both sides are almost identical, so it’s one of those reversible patterns we knitters love. Second, it lays…

    How to Knit a Vintage Knit and Purl Stitch + video

    May 7, 2024 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit a vintage knit and purl stitch, pretty easy to knit, ideal for beginners.  I’m sure that if the only techniques you know are knitting and purling, you can do it! By the way, the stitch pattern was sent to me by one of my followers from Canada (thank you!). It reminds me of the infamous Hurdle Stitch we practiced last Christmas. It’s a six-row repeat pattern, it looks good also on the wrong side, and doesn’t curl… Exactly what my doctor advised me 🙂 That’s why this vintage stitch is perfect for a wide range of projects, not only for blankets, scarves,…

    How to knit the spectacular Rambler stitch

    March 25, 2023 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Rambler stitch, step by step. Maybe it looks complex, but it isn’t! Actually, it’s similar yet easier than the Broken Brioche stitch we practiced some months ago. The main difference is that we don’t have to purl into the stitch from the row below, you’ll see what I mean. And the second difference is that the Rambler stitch is not reversible. Although it has a fluffy texture to it, great for Autumn-Winter garments, I tried it using cotton yarn, and the result was not too dense or heavy. I think it’s a pretty versatile pattern, suitable for a wide range of…

    How to knit the Pique Rib stitch 2 (pay attention to your tension)

    January 25, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Pique Rib stitch 2; a four-row repeat pattern, super easy to do, and it doesn’t curl. In fact, it’s another lovely knit and purl stitch pattern, perfect for beginners. Although it shares the same DNA as the Pique Rib stitch we practiced a while ago, it’s less detailed… let’s say it’s a little less busy 😉 So it’s a nice option for a sweater or cardigan, for example. Having said that, it’s also a great pattern for a blanket, a scarf, a hat, or even a cushion, table mats, or table runners… it’s up to you! Besides, it’s not a reversible stitch, yet…

    How to knit the Picket Fences stitch pattern

    December 15, 2022 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Picket Fences stitch, another member of the checkerboard patterns, similar to the Embossed Blocks stitch that we practiced last year.  The Picket Fences stitch is perfect for beginners; there is no need to slip, increase or decrease stitches. Actually, the only techniques required are knit + purl… easy-peasy! In addition, it lays flat, the edges don’t curl or bend, due to the frequency of knit and purl stitches per row. Another advantage is that it’s a reversible knitting pattern; it’s identical on both sides 😉  So, if you’re thinking of knitting a scarf, or a blanket, for example, this one is for you.…

    How to knit the Alternating Dot stitch

    June 3, 2022 /

    In today’s post I’m sharing how to knit the Alternating Dot stitch, the cousin of another adorable pattern we practiced a while ago: The Dot stitch. The Alternating Dot stitch creates a fabric with rich texture on both sides; it’s super easy to do, ideal for beginners. Why? Well, there are several reasons: First of all, it’s a four-row repeat pattern, two of which are plain knit rows… YAY! The other two rows involve a short repeat of knits and purls. Secondly, because of the frequency of knit and purl stitches on the even rows, your piece will remain flat.  It won’t curl nor bend, so there’s no need of…

    How to knit the Granite stitch: Reversible, and it doesn’t curl!

    May 20, 2022 /

    The Granite stitch is one of those patterns we knitters love because it has it all… First and foremost, I’d like to say that it’s beautiful, like me 😉 Although both sides aren’t identical, they look adorable, so you can choose which one is going to be your “right side”. Actually, the so-called “wrong side” reminds me of the Grid stitch we learned a while ago (another stunner). Additionally, the Granite stitch is pretty easy to do; it combines knits and purls only, so it’s totally suitable for both, newbies and veterans 😉 Furthermore, it doesn’t curl, so it’s a great option for blankets, scarves, infinite cowls, but also hats,…
