    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…

    April 14, 2020 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit a vertical lace stitch, great for knitting a wide range of projects, because it’s reversible (identical on both sides), and it doesn’t curl!  This reversible lace knitting stitch is a two-row repeat pattern, full of texture, and pretty easy to memorize (there are just a couple of simple steps to remember). This is another so called “true lace” knitting pattern (same category as the Saint John’s Wort stitch we practiced last week), because the alternative rows are not just plain purl rows. The lace is worked in each row. Before we start, please do remember my two “must-dos” when lace knitting: Always…

    Lace Rib knitting stitch pattern: Reversible and it doesn’t curl

    February 22, 2020 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit a great substitute for the classic ribbing: The Lace Rib stitch.  Easy to knit, reversible, pretty stretchy, and it doesn’t curl… plus, it’s a two-row repeat pattern. The Lace Rib stitch has a great texture to it, perfect for knitting the hems and cuffs of a stylish jumper or cardigan, or for knitting a romantic scarf or rectangular shawl. It features embossed columns, that give it an elegant vertical look (similar to the Feather Rib stitch). This swatch (and the swatch on the video) was knitted using a beautiful set of bamboo needles Let’s get started! Abbreviations CO: Cast on WS: Wrong…

    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…

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit an adorable scarf knitting stitch pattern, ideal for beginners.  Its advantages are many: It doesn’t curl, it’s reversible and identical on both sides, and it’s a two-row repeat pattern. This scarf knitting stitch pattern is created only by a combination of knits and purls (no increases, decreases, nor slip stitches are required). Easy to knit, it’s a great stitch for knitting women’s and men’s scarves, cowls, and even a blanket, as well as the last version of the Broken Rib we learned some days ago.

    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…

    Blanket stitch knitting pattern: Easy and quick, ideal for beginners

    A perfect stitch for knitting blankets is… surprise, surprise… Blanket stitch! It’s an easy stitch for beginners as you only need to knit and purl, what’s more, it doesn’t curl. It has a great texture to it, it is not reversible but the wrong side of the work looks pretty good all the same, and uses only a two-row repeat pattern. There are no other complications and you can learn it as you go. The Blanket stitch also works well when knitting scarves, cowls and even sweaters for boys and girls of all ages. The vertical columns are slimming and who doesn’t want to look svelte? This is quite simply…
