Tuesday Learn to Knit Day 11 - Stitch Patterns

Today we're not learning a new stitch so much as we are learning what cool things we can do with the stitches you already know, namely the knit and purl stitches.

These stitch patterns will let you practice both knitting and purling as well as show you some cool textures you can create with them!

First, stockinette:

This pattern consists of two rows: Knit one row, Purl the next row, simple, no?

Second, ribbing:

This pattern is very useful when making pieces that you would like to be stretchy, its pattern is some variation of the following:

CO 16

K2, P2 across row

You do this for all rows

Third, seed stitch:

This pattern is where you vary your knit and purl stitches, like so:

CO 16

K1, P1 across row

you will do this for all rows with an even number of stitches, for odd amounts, the second row will be to P1, K1 across all the stitches

Coming Soon!

I have been working on some beanies this week, check the shop frequently to see all kinds of new designs :)

A lightly cabled red beanie, knit double thick for warmth and made out a durable, machine-washable yarn.


A chocolate cabled beanie that will have a flower pin to add to its charm :) Knit out of superwash merino in a dark brown heather with specks of blue and orange throughout.
