    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,…

    How to knit the Fisherman’s Rib with knit stitches only (no purling!)

    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).…

    Today, you’ll learn to knit the one-row repeat stitch, great for scarves and infinite cowls. It’s a lovely pattern; it will work for Winter/Summer garments, and it has some advantages to it: First of all, it’s easy to do: There are 4 steps that be repeated time and time again because it’s a one-row pattern. Secondly, it’s reversible and identical on both sides, this is why it’s great for scarves. Furthermore, it doesn’t curl. Therefore, there is no need to think of edges, but it’s also true that even a simple Garter stitch edge will make it shine… Variety and contrast are the spice of life! Finally, you won’t have…

    Super easy Diagonal knitting stitch pattern (great for beginners)

    September 16, 2021 /

    In the first tutorial of this new season, you’ll learn a super easy Diagonal knitting stitch pattern which is much easier than the last one we practiced. This is why I recommend it for beginners because it only takes four rows, and the only techniques required are knitting and purling. When you try it, you’ll see that basically, it’s a 2 x 2 pattern, super easy to knit! I promise 😉 Another advantage of this Diagonal stitch is that it’s reversible (identical on both sides); furthermore, because of the frequency of knit and purl stitches in each row, it lays flat, no matter what. It’s a lovely “no curling” stitch…

    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,…

    Symmetry in the Chevron stitch/3 needle bind off (no seaming)

    July 13, 2021 /

    Several months ago, we practiced the Reversible Chevron stitch, and in this tutorial, I’m sharing three new things:  On one hand, you’ll learn how to knit the Ribbed Chevron stitch, ideal for scarves, blankets, and rectangular shawls or wraps (both sides look almost identical, and it stays flat! Yay!). On the other hand, you’ll see what to do to make both extremes of the garment look the same when knitting a stitch that creates picks (or a pointy edge). In other words, how to get symmetry in your Chevron stitches… yeap, it’s possible! Last, but not least, you’ll learn how to bind off and seam two knitted pieces at the…
