As a knitter, I have a few tips to share with you when it comes to working with the Eyelet Stitch.

First and foremost, it is important to have a clear understanding of the stitch pattern you will be using. Make sure to read the pattern and familiarize yourself with the instructions before starting.

When working with yarn overs, it’s important to make sure that you are not twisting the yarn when you make the yarn over. This will ensure that the hole created is clean and even.

Pay attention to your tension when working the yarn overs. If your tension is too loose, the holes will be too big, and if it’s too tight, the holes will be too small.

Use a stitch marker to help you keep track of where the eyelets are in your pattern. This will make it easier to identify and make any corrections if needed.

Use a contrasting-colored yarn or thread to weave through the holes of the eyelet stitches after the work is finished. This will help to define the eyelets and make them more visible.

Practice makes perfect! As with any new technique, the more you work with the eyelet stitch, the more comfortable and confident you will become with it.

By following these tips, you’ll be able to create beautiful and neat Eyelet Stitch designs in your knitting projects. Happy Knitting!

Patchwork Blanket Knitting Patterns

Any time of year is a good time for stash busting, but if you can combine it with knitting a blanket that will keep you warm when it (finally!) gets cooler that’s even better. Let’s take a look at some fun patchwork blanket knitting patterns. 

If you want to keep it super simple, you can just make blocks of garter stitch and sew them together, like the beginner’s patchwork baby blanket from Mini Baa Baa or the color block blanket from Make and Do Crew. Both projects are worked in strips and sew together, with the baby version calling for two strands of DK or light worsted weight yarn held together and the larger one using bulky yarn. 

Add a little more texture with the mixed blocks of the cottage quilt throw from Mama in a Stitch. This one combines garter stitch and seed stitch and uses worsted weight yarn. She used a crochet join to make the chains on top of the blocks, but you can join them however you like. It calls for eight colors but you can use what you have, and there are three size options. 

Get a real sampler style patchwork blanket with this design from Knit Sew Make. It calls for worsted weight yarn and has four size options. All of the patterns just use knit and purl stitches so this one is still pretty easy for beginners. 

If you want a more complex colorwork project that will keep you entertained all season, try the Peace by Piece blanket pattern from Needle and Feather. This one is made up of two color colorwork blocks and calls for worsted weight yarn. You can choose to use just a few of the blocks and repeat them more often, or make multiples of the whole set. 

The knitted patchwork recipe from Martine Ellis (free on Ravelry) uses mitered squares in fingering weight yarn, so it’s perfect for using up all your leftover sock yarn and mini skeins. This one is a tutorial more than a pattern so you can make your blanket as big as you like or keep going until you run out of yarn. 

Susan B. Anderson’s 100 Squares blanket (find it on Ravelry) has a lot of mitered squares, too, but they’re arranged in fun ways and includes some quilt inspired designs as well. This one also is a bit of method more than pattern but it sure looks like a lot of fun for using all the leftovers. 

Of course you can totally improvise a patchwork blanket using the yarn and stitches you like, but I hope these patterns inspire you to look at your leftover yarn in a new way.
