Two-Row Repeat Lace Knit Stitch & Double Vertical Decrease+ Video
Today, you’ll learn a lovely two-row repeat lace stitch pattern, and how to knit the wonderful double vertical decrease. Honestly, I can’t hide my excitement! Why? Because, until now, every time that I had to make a decrease, it had to be either a right or left-leaning decrease… We are used to making the classic knit two together (a right-leaning decrease), or the ssk (slip slip knit), which is a left-leaning decrease. But what if we want a straight decrease? What I mean, is that sometimes I’d like to have a vertical or “neutral” stitch after making decreases. So, in this tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit a double-neutral decrease,…

How to knit the Lacy Chevrons stitch (2 rows only!)
In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Lacy Chevrons stitch, a beautiful lace pattern without a doubt! By the way, this is the first time I’m knitting this sort of pattern in a lace version. So far, all my Chevron patterns were dense (the Reversible Shadow Chevron is my favorite). One of the things I love the most about this pattern, apart from its design, rich in texture, is that it only takes two rows to make it! Although it looks complex, you’ll see that once you’ve worked a couple of rows, it’s pretty intuitive. In fact, the steps are known by us knitters, and it’s a great…

The Herringbone Lace stitch is one of those patterns that we knitters love… Why? Well, the reasons are diverse!

Actually, it’s similar to the Herringbone Lace stitch we practiced a while ago, more elaborate, and less lacy. Thirdly, it’s reversible. YEP!

How to Knit Easy Lace: The Cross Stitch (2-row-repeat)

Honestly, if you haven’t tried yet knitting lace, this could be a great way to start 😉 Besides, the Lace Cross stitch has a lovely texture to it, and the vertical design makes it perfect for knitting scarves, wraps, rectangular shawls, or a seasonal top. Nevertheless, it tends to curl at the bottom, so think about knitting a nice edge on each side, if your garment is rectangular and should stay flat. This swatch…

The lace is worked in each row. Before we start, please do remember my two “must-dos” when lace knitting: Always…
