    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 the Rib stitch without purling (2 rows)

    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,…

    How to knit a textured stitch pattern in just two rows

    December 7, 2022 /

    Today, you’ll learn how to knit a textured stitch pattern, in just two rows! Actually, if you can knit and purl, this one is for you; it’s so easy that one of those two rows is a plain purl row 😉 Although this textured stitch is not identical on both sides, to me, it’s a reversible pattern… Why? Well, both sides of the work look amazing, so you can decide which side you want to be the right side of your project. It reminds me of the Jute stitch that we practiced a while ago, but the other side of the work has a richer texture to it, it’s gorgeous…

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

    November 6, 2022 /

    In this tutorial, I’m showing how to knit the Shadow Rib stitch pattern. It’s a pretty stitch, super easy to knit, and quick to memorize. Before starting, I’d like to clarify that it has nothing to do with the Shadow knitting technique we practiced a while ago. The Shadow stitch is a two-row repeat pattern; a lovely combination of knits and purls, ideal for beginners. Additionally, one of its advantages is that it does not curl. In fact, the frequency of knit and purl stitches on every odd row produces a flat fabric; another great option for scarves, blankets, cowls, and blankets. Although both sides look different, the so-called wrong…

    How to knit the Fancy Moss stitch Rib (only two rows!)

    September 14, 2022 /

    In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Fancy Moss stitch Rib, a lovely variation of the classic Ribbing (like the Half Garter Rib we practiced a while ago). Honestly, I love to have options, because variety is the spice of life 😉 Time and time again I find myself doing the same 2 x 2 Rib automatically, without thinking… and the truth is that there are tons of alternatives. This is why I keep teaching you different patterns, this way I have them in mind when it comes to designing a new project. Oh! I almost forgot! This is another great example: The Lace Rib stitch. In fact,…

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

    July 1, 2022 /

    In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to knit the Double Garter Rib stitch, step by step. Honestly, I think it’s a perfect stitch for borders or edges; especially when we don’t need them to be stretchy (as they would be when using the classic 2 x 2 Ribbing). For instance, use it on each side of a blanket, of a scarf, or on each side of an infinite cowl in case you used a stitch that curls or bends. In other words, it’s a substitute for the Seed stitch, Garter stitch, or the Irish Moss stitch. However, the Double Garter Rib is a pretty versatile pattern. It will also work…

    How to knit the Mock Turkish stitch: A pretty two-row pattern

    February 25, 2022 /

    The Mock Turkish stitch is one of those lace patterns that knitters love… Why? Well, there are several important reasons: Undoubtedly, lace knitting is infamous for its complexity, a technique that consists of creating a hollowed fabric, through increases and decreases.  Not just because of the long repetitions, nor the number of rows needed to form a pattern, but also due to the fact that mistakes take time and a lot of fiddling to fix. On the contrary, the Mock Turkish stitch is a two-row repeat pattern, that I’m sure you’ll memorize quickly because it involves only two steps to be repeated on each row. According to some knitters (and…

    How to knit a second version of the famous Mock English Rib stitch

    February 18, 2022 /

    In this post, you’ll learn a second version of the Mock English Rib stitch; I shared the first one some months ago, and it’s also adorable! Although both stitches look similar, the main differences are: This one looks flatter; the columns of “v’s” aren’t raised as in the first version. And this second version isn’t as stretchy as the anterior. So I wouldn’t use it for the cuffs of hats, sweaters, or socks. In fact, I think it’s a great pattern for blankies. However, they share most of the details: 1) They’re two-row repeat patterns 2) Both are reversible and identical on both sides 3) They lay flat 4) There’s…

Although it’s not reversible, the lace columns look pretty also on the wrong side of the work… I’m loving it. And the techniques required are quite simple: knit and purl stitches, plus some yarn overs here and there. Finally, in the video tutorial, I’m sharing how to do it in both, English and Continental methods. So, no excuses!…

    January 15, 2022 /

    In today’s post, you’ll learn how to knit the adorable Double Braided Rib stitch, step by step. It’s a reversible two-row repeat pattern; although not identical on both sides. Additionally, it doesn’t roll up, so it’s a nice option when knitting scarves or infinite cowls, or any other kind of rectangular garment. However, I’m sure it will give an elegant touch to the cuffs of sweaters, hats, and socks. Similar to the Mock Cable Ribbing stitch, we practiced a while ago, the Double Braided Rib features a double-cross that resembles a braid. So, grab your needles and a little bit of yarn, and let’s get busy 🙂 Abbreviations CO: Cast…
