Knitting Charts 101
Meet knitting designer Melissa Leapman and dive right into learning about navigating stitch charts, understanding stitch repeats and exploring knitting symbols. These are the tools you’ll use to master reversible stitch patterns!
Simple Reversible Textures
Begin your reversible-stitch adventure by studying some simple knit-and-purl patterns that are beautiful on both sides. With Melissa’s guidance, practice knitting a faux-cable swatch and learn a great trick for keeping your stitches tidy.
Reversible Lace
Move beyond knit and purl to explore openwork and lace stitch patterns. Try a one-row reversible stitch pattern such as herringbone lace and purse stitch, then move on to a two-faced openwork stitch pattern that looks different on each side. Practice with Melissa’s lovely Marcella stitch pattern.
Reversible Cables
Reversible cables are Melissa’s favorite. Try knitting simple rope cables and rib-based honeycomb cables. Melissa walks you through the honeycomb’s cable maneuvers, then shows how to create an exciting two-faced cable with braids on one side and serpentine honeycomb on the other.
Reversible Slip-Stitch Patterns
Reversible slip-stitch patterns look amazing and are fun to work. Melissa shows how to make faux woven fabric, then demonstrates both simple and two-faced double knitting. This knitting looks complicated, but with clear, stitch-by-stitch instructions, you’ll master it in no time!
Two-Faced Stripes
Just when you thought reversible stitch patterns couldn’t get any more exciting, Melissa throws colorwork into the mix! Try the bubble tuck and teardrop dip-stitch patterns using three colors for fascinating texture and movement on both sides of your fabric.
Designing a Reversible Scarf
Now that you know how to create so many fun, reversible stitch patterns, why not create a unique scarf or blanket to show off your skills? Learn to draw a schematic, measure your gauge and do some simple math to create your pattern. You’ll be proud to say, “I designed this myself!”
