    How to knit the Morning Glory stitch (2 rows!)

    January 27, 2024 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit a variant of the classic Stockinette (Stocking) stitch. It’s a two-row repeat pattern, another combination of plain knit and purl rows, but, with a little bit of texture. It reminds me of the famous Heart stitch pattern… Nevertheless, this one is easier and faster to knit, because you don’t need to keep interchanging knit and purl stitches in the same row. If you have following me for some time, you know that I like to share how to knit variants of worldwide known patterns, adding special touches. In summary, you can use this version as a substitute for the normal one: It’s…

    How to knit the Heart stitch pattern (2 rows only!)

    November 22, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Heart stitch, a two-row repeat pattern, super easy to do, and great for beginners. Actually, it’s made out of two steps, and the only techniques required are the knit stitch (regular and through the back loop), and the purl stitch. Besides, the right side of the Heart stitch looks like the Stockinette stitch, but it lays flat… YAY! On the contrary, the wrong side looks like the 1×1 Rib stitch, so I’d say it’s a reversible pattern, perfect for scarves and infinite cowls, among other projects. However, there’s a peculiarity about this stitch you need to know before we start: In order to…

    How to knit the Garter Rib stitch, great for beginners (two rows only!)

    July 22, 2023 /

    Today, I’m sharing how to knit the Garter Rib stitch, which shares the DNA of the infamous Mock Rib stitch. It’s a super easy two-row repeat pattern, great for beginners. In fact, if the only stitches you know (or like, or love) are knit and purl, this one is dedicated to you. Although it’s not identical on both sides, they look pretty, so to me, it’s a reversible pattern. Furthermore, it lays flat no matter what, so it’s perfect for blankets, scarves, etc. Nevertheless, you can also use the Garter Rib stitch for edges or borders, because it meets all the requirements, as mentioned above. Last, but not least, don’t…

    How to knit a very special Rib stitch pattern (two rows only)

    July 18, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit a very special Rib stitch, ideal for beginners. Actually, it’s a two-row repeat pattern, easy to do and easy to memorize, and pretty stretchy. Although both sides are not identical, I’d say it’s a reversible stitch, because both sides look pretty. In addition, the only techniques required are knit stitch and purl stitch… And from time to time, we’ll slip one stitch, which helps us create those gorgeous embossed columns of “v’s”. That’s the touch of elegance that makes this Ribbing so unusual 🙂 Finally, this is a great pattern for hems, cuffs, socks, gloves, hats, etc. Enough chatting! Grab your needles,…

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Moss Rib stitch… so cute! It’s a two-row repeat pattern, super easy to do, ideal for beginners, because the only techniques required are knit and purl 😉 Although it’s not identical on both sides, they look pretty, so to me, it’s a reversible pattern. Moreover, it doesn’t curl, which makes it great not only for baby stuff but also for scarves, blankets, cowls, etc. In adittion, it’s a lovely stitch for edges or borders (it’s not as stretchy as a regular Rib). Without further ado, grab your needles, and some yarn, and let’s get ribbing! Abbreviations CO: Cast on RS: Right…

    How to knit the Beaded Rib (two rows, reversible, and doesn’t curl!)

    June 14, 2023 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Beaded Rib stitch; an adorable two-row repeat pattern, perfect for beginners! Why? Firstly, it’s a super easy knit and purl stitch pattern (no need to cross, increase, or decrease stitches). Secondly, it doesn’t curl, so we don’t need to think of adding edges or borders. Actually, this is a great pattern for edges… As you already know, every time you are working on a pattern that bends or rolls, you need a nice edge to prevent the garment from curling. And as knitters, we are used to the Garter or Seed stitch for those edges. Well, you can add this one…

    How to knit the Linen stitch in one or two colors

    April 22, 2023 /

    I believe that the Linen stitch is one of those patterns that all knitters need to learn. Why? Well, firstly, it’s one of those patterns that look like fabric (like the Woven stitch we practiced a while ago). It means that one of the advantages is that it lays flat; it doesn’t bend nor curl on any side. Secondly, it’s a two-row pattern, and there are just two steps to remember and repeat. Actually, there is another reason to love it: Although it’s not a reversible pattern, the so-called “wrong side” of the work looks pretty too (similar to the Seed stitch). It’s so cute! Honestly, when I look at…

    How to knit the Criss Cross stitch pattern (two rows only)

    April 17, 2023 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Criss Cross stitch, another classic of the knitting world. And I’m sharing how to do it both ways, flat and in the round. It’s a two-row repeat pattern, spongy, and full of texture, also known as Wicker stitch, similar to the Cross stitch we practiced a while ago. Although it’s not reversible, the Criss Cross stitch is a great option for a cowl, a scarf, or even a blanket, because it lays flat. Actually, I’ve knitted a couple of swatches, using Alpaca, wool, and cotton yarn in different weights, and I think it works in every case! You’ll see the pictures further down.…

    How to knit and bind off the Brioche stitch

    March 15, 2023 /

    The Brioche stitch is another classic of the knitting world, and today, I’ll show you how to knit it, and how to bind it off. Without a doubt, it creates an incredibly spongy fabric, which makes it perfect for Winter garments (similar to the infamous Fisherman’s Rib stitch). Additionally, it’s a two-row repeat reversible pattern (identical on both sides), so, many knitters love it for scarves. Although it also looks great on a sweater, using wool yarn, cotton yarn, or their blends (it’s pretty versatile too). Furthermore, it lays flat, you’ll never ever see it curling, rolling, or bending! However, it involves a different way of knitting: Almost every stitch…

    How to Knit a 2×2 Rib Stitch without Purling (2-row-repeat)

    January 21, 2023 /

    Strange but true, it is possible to knit the Rib stitch without purling 🙂 It’s also possible to knit the Fisherman’s Rib without purling… YAY! And in this tutorial, free, gratis, and for no money down, I’ll show you how. By now you’re asking yourself what’s with all the enthusiasm? Well, it’s no secret that for many of us knitters, the purl stitch is somewhat of a “necessary evil”. Let’s just say that the purl stitch goes against the natural hand movement that we all learned from day one when we first started knitting. Clearly, we have to use it, because, without it, we couldn’t create so many marvelous patterns,…
