The amount of ways you can combine knit, purls, yo’s and other knitting stitches is infinite, it is what I love about knitting, creating a fabric/textile with two needles, a string and your own hands – it’s such a rewarding experience.
In my Knitting Stitch Library you will find stitch patterns for cables, eyelets, lace and more. I am constantly adding more stitches so be sure to come back to keep finding more/new inspiration for your knitting!
