    How to knit the Half Garter Rib stitch (two rows only!)

    January 29, 2022 /

    In this post, I’ll show you how to knit the Half Garter Rib stitch; another great pattern for beginners (if you can knit and purl, you can do it!). One of the reasons why this pattern is so easy to do (and to memorize) is that it involves two rows only, one of which is a plain knit row. Could not be easier! Moreover, it’s a reversible pattern; although both sides aren’t identical, the other side of the work has also an interesting texture to it, you’ll see. Similar to the Mock Rib Stitch, the Half Garter Rib stitch doesn’t roll up, so it will work for a wide range…

    How to knit the Mock Cable Ribbing stitch

    October 28, 2021 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Mock Cable Ribbing stitch, both, back and forth, and in the round, a two-row repeat pattern, full of texture. Although each side is not identical, they both look pretty nice, so I’d say it’s reversible. At the same time, it’s easy to knit, the only techniques required are knitting and purling, plus a simple twist 😉 In addition, the Mock Cable Ribbing can be used to substitute the normal 2 x 2 Rib stitch, or as the main stitch, perfect for scarves, blankies, cowls… you name it! Last, but not least, before starting a whole project, I’d suggest you knit a swatch.  Depending…

    Garter stitch Rib: A super easy two-row repeat knitting pattern, great for beginners

    July 23, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Garter stitch Rib, step by step (it reminds me of the Ribbed Garter pattern, we practiced a while ago). It’s super easy to do, ideal for beginners: The only techniques required are knitting and purling, and the pattern is made in just two rows. Although, at first sight, the Garter stitch Rib doesn’t seem reversible, the wrong side of the work looks adorable too 😉 So, it’s the perfect option for scarves, blankets, rectangular shawls, and any other project of your choice (it’s a unisex pattern, so it can be used for girls’ and boys’ garments). Besides, due to the frequent…

    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,…

    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…

    Double Slip-stitch Rib knitting pattern: 2 steps and 2 rows

    October 23, 2020 /

    Dedicated to all those who aren’t purling fans, this tutorial will show you how to knit the the Double Slip-stitch Rib pattern (in both, English and Continental style). At first glance, it looks like the classic 2×2 Rib stitch, but if we take a closer look, we’ll see how the columns are embossed, standing out remarkably.  The Double Slip-stitch Rib is a two-row repeat pattern, one of which is plain knitting, and the other row requires two simple steps: More knitting and slipping stitches. The good news is that it doesn’t involve any purling! Yay! Because it’s well known that many of us don’t love to purl, and it has been…

    How to knit the Tweed stitch: A two-row repeat reversible pattern

    October 9, 2020 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn a classic knitting pattern: The Tweed stitch. It’s a two-row repeat pattern, which 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:…

    A new no curl version of the Stockinette stitch knitting pattern

    September 30, 2020 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit a version of the Stockinette (Stocking stitch), that doesn’t curl. Why? Although we love it, sometimes we tend to avoid it: The curling is a no-no factor for many knitters… I came up with his version after many long nights of trial and error. So now if you want to knit a scarf, a blanket, without using a second stitch for the edges, this version of the Stockinette stitch is simply perfect! It creates a thick fabric, almost cushioned… It’s also slightly stretchy and, for certain garments, I’d use it instead of the ribbing stitch. On the other hand, it’s a two-row…

    How to knit Vertical Stripes: A two-row repeat pattern that doesn’t curl

    August 22, 2020 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit vertical stripes. A two-row repeat pattern, that combines knitting and purling, easy to knit, ideal for beginners. It shares the same DNA of the Slip Stitch Rib we learned sometime ago. The Vertical Stripes stitch is perfect for knitting scarves, infinite cowls, blankets, etc., because although it’s not reversible, it doesn’t curl, and it’s unisex: It will work for women’s and men’s garments. Knit it with single-color fibers, or, as I did for this tutorial, using a variegated cotton yarn. It’s one of those stitches that really pops with those kind of yarns. So, if you are a beginner, and you just…
