Simple, Easy Slippers

Posted on March 2, 2022February 26, 2022by Eliza

When my little Munchkin needed slippers this winter, I tried my hand at knitting them rather than buying a pair that he’ll either decide are uncomfortable or outgrow too quickly. There are a lot of awesome slipper patterns out there, but I hadn’t found any that worked for what I specifically wanted: knit (not crochet) […]

Tunisian Double Seed Stitch Charity Block

Posted on April 17, 2019April 9, 2019by Eliza

After learning (and falling in love with) Tunisian simple stitch, I decided to try one of TL Yarn Crafts’ other video tutorials to learn a new stitch pattern. I followed the fourth video to learn the double seed stitch (the video is actually for making a coaster, but I adjusted the number of stitches, and […]

Tunisian Simple Stitch Charity Block

Posted on April 3, 2019March 30, 2019by Eliza

I’ve said a few times how much I’ve wanted to learn Tunisian crochet. I saw it in photos on Instagram a year or so ago and was mind-blown that this thing existed, something that looked like an incredible blend of knitting and crochet. I put it immediately on my to-learn list, but it took a […]

Easy Color Block Brioche Scarf

Posted on September 12, 2018March 25, 2019by Eliza

I won’t deny, brioche looks complicated. That’s why I chose a scarf as my first project—it’s straight, there’s no shaping, nothing complicated to mess around with, I could just learn the stitches and practice, practice, practice. I love the colors of the Caron Cakes, and how they change, making color blocks without me having to […]

Mossy Cable Christmas Stockings

Posted on November 18, 2017October 6, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care…”   Okay, to be honest, we don’t really have a chimney. We’ve hung our stockings beside a door frame and across the top of our french doors, depending on which room we’ve put the Christmas tree in. But there’s something nice about having a set of […]

Crochet Half Hexagon

Posted on August 14, 2017July 24, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

The problem with hexagons is that they don’t give you a straight edge. When making a blanket with them, the rows are offset, leaving gaps at the ends.     (Sorry I didn’t post more of a picture–I’m trying to keep the blanket a little bit of a surprise until it’s finished!)   For me, […]

Crochet Modified Hexagon

Posted on August 7, 2017July 24, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

I decided a few months ago to crochet a hexagon blanket for my friend’s wedding. I’d never crocheted a hexagon before, so I followed Make & Do Crew’s tutorial. (It’s a great tutorial, by the way—clear and easy to follow. If you’re new to hexagons, start there.)   But I didn’t like how tight and […]

Increasing: How to Make One (m1 and m1r)

Posted on May 25, 2017July 24, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

I wasn’t a fan of the make one (m1) increase when I first tried it. I’ve always used k1fb, and it has worked well for almost every project. But m1 has the advantage of blending in a little better to the stitches around it, and sometimes you need that. After using m1 and its reverse, […]

Increasing: How to Knit One in Front and Back (k1fb)

Posted on April 28, 2017July 24, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

Knit one in front and back (k1fb) is a common increase stitch, and it’s really easy once you get the hang of it. You start by knitting the stitch as you normally would (through the front loop, or the part of the stitch that is in front of the needle), but you do NOT slide […]

Easy Cable Hat Pattern

Posted on February 23, 2017July 24, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

*This post may contain affiliate links.* Have you ever been intimidated by cables? I have. Don’t get me wrong, I totally love them. I love how they look. I love knitting them. But when it came to knitting them into a hat, the thought of figuring out the decreases was just too much, so I […]
