    How to knit an easy Lace Column Scarf stitch pattern in two rows!

    February 4, 2022 /

    In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit an easy Lace Column Scarf stitch: It’s simply gorgeous!  My swatch hasn’t been blocked yet and it looks adorable, so imagine it after a nice blocking process 🙂 It’s a two-row repeat knitting pattern, which includes a couple of steps that you’ll remember trouble-free. 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!…

    How to knit the Double Braided Rib stitch

    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…

    How to knit the Twisted Rib stitch (English and Continental style)

    November 27, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Twisted Rib stitch, an interesting version of the 2 x 2 Rib. In my humble opinion, all these different versions of the classic rib stitches are so useful. They add a nice touch to your knitting work. However, this one is not quite as stretchy as some other rib styles. This is why I’d use it as a main stitch for a whole garment, such as a scarf or an infinite cowl, rather than cuffs in general. In fact, its design creates small cables, a vertical pattern that will stand out in a large piece. On the other hand, the Twisted Rib…

    Easy two-row repeat knit stitch, for scarves and blankets

    November 20, 2021 /

    Today, I’m sharing a lovely two-row repeat knit stitch, great for scarves, blankies, and infinite cowls. Its design creates embossed columns, with crispy and gorgeous vertical lines. Not only is it easy to make and memorize, its also reversible (not identical on both sides, but the other side of the work looks gorgeous too). Additionally, this two-row repeat pattern stays flat all the time, so there’s no need to think about edges 😉 If you’re starting to knit, my suggestion is to get sharp tip needles. This will make everything easier; the sharp tip helps to get two stitches together, and to purl a stitch through the back loop!  Believe…

    How to knit the Mock English Rib stitch

    July 30, 2021 /

    In this tutorial, I’m sharing a variant of the Mock English Rib which is one of my favorites (two weeks ago we practiced a similar two-row repeat pattern, dedicated to all those knitters that don’t love to purl). Why am I a fan of this version? First of all, because of its amazing texture, formed by the combination of knits and purls only; there is no need for slipping stitches. This pattern creates embossed columns, crispy and gorgeous vertical lines. Secondly, this variant of the Mock English Rib is pretty easy to knit, perfect for beginners: When you try it, you’ll see that it’s basically a 2 x 2 rib,…

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

    June 29, 2021 /

    The Horizontal stitch is an adorable two-row repeat pattern, not complicated at all, great for beginners (no purling needed!). Although its sides aren’t identical, both look pretty, and as such this is why its reversible imho. Why? Well, one of the sides features a wavy texture; the other, a bumpy pattern with vertical lines that prevent the fabric from curling 🙂 It’s also easy and fun to knit: One row is a plain knitting row; the other, involves knit stitches and slip stitches, which makes us to progress rapidly… something that we knitters love, don’t we? Bellow are two swatches, both made of 100% cotton yarn for US 6 needles…

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

    December 2, 2019 /

    Today you’ll learn how to knit a beautiful and easy cross stitch. Similar to the Spine stitch, this Cross stitch is a two-repeat pattern, one of which is just purling. Its eye-catching texture makes it great for knitting hats, cowls and sweaters (as the Ripple stitch).  To successfully use this pattern, I strongly recommend two things: This cross stitch is not reversible and requires blocking, once our work is finished. Why? Because it tends to twist (it happens when crossing as we are pulling the stitches in a different direction every two rows). This one is a great blocking board, with grid lines, and t-pins! And for best results, I…
