Once you’ve cast on, it’s time to knit! A brief overview: there are only two stitches in knitting, the knit stitch and the purl stitch. Both are methods of pulling loops through loops to create a fabric, and both are worked in rows from right to left on your needle. Let’s get started!

Every now and then a pattern will require you to decrease on the purl side of the work. Just like right-side decreases, some purl-side ones lean right and some lean left.

We use this unusual increase in our Ancient Stitch Scarf. It adds a smooth and subtle extra stitch. In order to work it, you knit into the purl bump of the next stitch, leave the stitch on the needle, and then knit into the back of the same stitch. On the right side of the work, this creates a left-leaning increase. Fair Isle Knitting, Lace Knitting, Baby Knitting Patterns, Knit Crochet, Knitted Hats, Knit Baby Shoes, Knit Baby Romper

Fluffy Brioche is one of our very favorite stitches. With its deep waffle texture and lofty thickness, it is just right for handsome hand knits. Plus, its four rows of repeat make for knitting that’s interesting but not too complex!

The Centered Single Decrease is magically slant-less. It is worked over three stitches, decreasing one, and resulting in a remaining two stitches, all without creating a left or right lean. Oh and fun fact… some people refer to it as Bunny Ears Back!

The Lifted Increase method is also known as a Raised Increase, and even sometimes as an Invisible Increase. “Lifted” or “Raised” because of the action done to perform it, and “Invisible” due to its discrete appearance, making it an elegant substitute for m1R and m1L.

Brioche Stitch creates a wonderfully lofty, widely ribbed fabric. People often find it intimidating, perhaps due to the yarn overs or maybe because of the abbreviations used in the pattern, but really, this stitch pattern is surprisingly easy. Watch our video tutorial below for a step-by-step explanation of working Brioche Stitch with one color of yarn, and skip down to the Fixing Mistakes section of our still photo tutorials (below) to learn how to hit the undo button when you make a snafu!

A Caliper Cable is a variation on the Double Cable (two cables next to one another that mirror each other). To create this cable, you work a pair of yarn overs; you drop them off the needle on a subsequent row or round; and you pick up the dropped stitch a few stitches over, creating an elongated and very elegant cable. The result is a recessed vertical line, flanked by a pair of simple upside-down v-shaped cables. Very pretty! Cable Knitting Patterns, Purl Soho, I Cord

You know how a knit 1, purl 1 rib is nice and stretchy except for that taut line along the cast on edge? The Long Tail Tubular Cast On is designed to fix that problem! Once you try this cast on, you will appreciate how magical it is. The technique is surprisingly simple and very similar to the traditional long tail cast on, but it creates a beautiful, elastic edge, perfect for hats, socks, cuffs or anywhere you need a little give! We used this cast on technique in our Classic Cuffed Hat project.

Short Rows are used to create triangles or wedges within your knitting. They shape everything from bust darts to ear flaps. Basically, a Short Row is just that: a row that you don’t knit to the end of the needle. There are lots of ways to turn your work partway through a row, but our favorite is called a Wrap + Turn (wrp-t). This simple method prevents holes along the Short Rows and works well with many different stitch patterns.

The 3-Needle Bind Off is a great finishing technique for joining two pieces of knitting that are still on the needles. It is also a great time saver because you bind off and seam all at once! This modification involves just a few extra moves and creates a less bulky seam that lies flatter against the knit fabric. So pretty and smooth, it can be used as a design detail on the right side of your fabric!

This is a beautiful stitch pattern with an all-over texture that alludes to a classic herringbone tweed. It involves working every other stitch twice, perhaps a complicated sounding maneuver, but not so hard once you get the hang of it!

The wonderful technique of double knitting creates a two-layer fabric with knit stitches on both sides. The finished fabric is completely reversible, lending itself to colorwork, contrasting fibers, or simply a knit-faced fabric that is twice as warm!

The Dutch Knitting Stitch is a cinch to make! It consists of a simple six-row repeat: the wrong side is all purl rows, and the right side is nearly identical rows of knits and yarn overs. For the sequence that involves a yarn over and passing a stitch over, we’ve made a video to explain!

While there are many ways to sew a button onto knitwear, here are two of our favorite methods: one without a backing button and one with. Both methods are very good at securing buttons, but a button with a backing button is sturdier and gentler on the fabric. Give both a try and see which one you prefer!

Steeks may not be for the faint of heart, but nor should knitters be intimidated by them! We aim here to make steeks approachable… and even fun! A steek is a multi-step process to create an opening (like the front of a cardigan or an armhole) or a place to attach another piece (such as a sleeve) that includes preparing, cutting, and finishing. There are lots of ways to do all this, and below, we demonstrate our favorite technique. We especially like it because it only involves knitting!
