Mrs. Hunter’s Pattern
This lovely lace pattern comes to us from the famous Hunter family who pioneered Shetland lace. Unfortunately, they are no relation to me but I do feel a kinship as I knit this fun and easy design.
Navajo Knitting
This technique allows yarn to be chain plied into a triple strand without dividing the skein. Alternate triple and single plies for interesting effects without ever cutting the yarn. Warning – this is very addicting!
Nupp
A bobble-like texture stitch with origins in Estonian lace.
p2tog
Decreases aren’t only made in knit stitches! Sometimes it is necessary (and discriminating) to decrease a stitch and remain in pattern. For example, when faced with a decrease on the wrong side of a stockinette garment it is wise to use a p2tog. A p2tog is also found in many lace patterns to create those dazzling designs. Refer to the “p2tog” video to work this elementary stitch and your knitting will graduate to a new level!
