Chill Lace Knit Stitch Pattern Tutorial

Hey everyone, it's Deja from KnitAndCrochetEverAfter.com, and today we're going to do the Chill Lace pattern. It's called Chill because it's just chill on there, you know, offset eyelets throughout, some stockinette, very easy, very basic. Pretty, especially when you have some self-striping yarn. So, download the pattern below, we'll talk more about this afterwards, and let's get started. Okay, so this is an 8-row pattern, baby. It's not too bad, because a lot of it is just knitting and purling, but it is eight because they have all those offset eyelets, so be warned, but as long as you keep track, it's not too bad. So our first two rows is just knitting and purling, so the first row is knit, the second row is purl. I should probably tell you the multiple so you can actually make this. It's going to be a multiple of six plus seven. I know, usually the extra's less, but this time it's more. So however wide you want it, times it by 6, whatever pattern amount you want, do a swatch, whatever you want. And then you're gonna add 7. So I did 6 times 2 for 12, and I added 7, so I have 19 cast on stitches. And then once we get past this first two rows, we'll actually do some eyelets. And a really good thing is, if you don't want it to curl, don't start with the pattern repeat, because it's stockin' it and it's just gonna curl like crazy. So put a border on it if you don't want to have to block it every time you wash it. So do four, two, four, whatever amount of rows of just straight knitting to make some purl bumps, or put ribbing, eh, ribbing, heh, I guess a ribbing would be okay actually. Um, whatever, so that it doesn't... Roll, because rolling is just a pain in the butt, having to block every time. I'm being a pain in the butt, and I'm going to make it roll. And I'll kind of show you on my finished one, because I didn't put a border on that either, and I had to block it really good. It still wants to roll a little bit. So row two, we are purling. We're purling just to the end. Then row three, we'll get... I would keep track of what row you're on. You'll see why when I show you my finished one that I was kind of hiding at the very top of it when I was showing it to you earlier. You'll see why I was hiding it because I wasn't keeping track there at the end and I didn't want to frog it and fix it since it's just a sample. If it was a finished object I totally would. All right now I have you in suspense so stick around to see it. So here is our stitch pattern. First we're going to do our three knit stitches which is our kind of edging and then our pattern repeat begins and it's going to be a yarn over, knit two together. That's what creates that little cute eyelet. And then we're gonna knit four. One, two, three, four. And that's our repeat. So that's going to create those eyelets. It's going to space them Tracing them apart, yarn over, knit two together, knit four. Then we're gonna have four stitches left over. What do we do with those? I don't know because my computer just blanked out on me. I have it on my screen so I can look at it. The very end we're actually going to do one more repeat. We're going to yarn over, knit two together. It's not a full repeat, obviously. It's just going to be a yarn over, knit two together, and then we're going to knit those last two stitches. Then row four, five, six boring rows. Five is purl because we're on the wrong side, so every single wrong side row you're purling. And then every right side, if it's not an eyelet row, we are knitting. So I'm gonna like go do the next two rows away so you don't have to sit through me yapping. So row five will be knit, row six will be purl. We'll come back for row seven where we're gonna make some more eyelets, but this time they will be offset. So I'll see you in a second. All right, we're back for row seven. I've got six rows done. You can see my cute, chill little eyelets on here. I love eyelets. I don't know why. I think I just kind of like how stuff rolls around them, and they're just cute and... Let's start with row seven for our next batch of eyelets. So we're going to start with a knit three, just like before. But this time, we're going to stick some knits, before we start our eyelet. So we're gonna do knit three again. This is the beginning of the pattern repeat. Then we're gonna yarn over and do our two together and start over. So it's almost like we're just gonna put four in between each one once you get here. So another three, a total of four before the next eyelet. And this time we're already at the last four after that last knit one. And we're just gonna knit those off. And that gives us our offset eyelet. Let's see them in between now. And then the last row of our repeat is some more purling. So I might just stop here, because you already know what that looks like. And then you're going to repeat row 1 through 8 until you get to however big you want it. So, I'm going to stop here. So, if you need to see the whole row, you don't need to do it. I'm going to show you the finished one again, so you can see what I did. I was kind of folding it over like this at the beginning. The reason being was I wasn't keeping track. And I made stacked eyelets. So that's also a possibility. You could just do a four-row repeat if you just want some stacked eyelets all the way up. They'll be very holey. But I really, it's cool. I like how it kind of like comes around, how it comes around the holes. That's kind of my favorite part of it. Definitely you can see it's already, it's still, you can see it curling. Ugh, so annoying. Put a border on it. Don't be like me. Um, the back side, more round on the back side, which is kind of funny. It reminds me of, like, little bubbles. So, the front side is more oval as it goes, and the back side's more round, but also garter stitch-looking, so, up to you if you think that's reversible. If you want to put it on a scarf or something, I think, like, a beanie would be a much better— pop the holes in it—of a self-striking yarn on a striking yarn. It's my favorite ever! But now you know. Pay attention to how many rows you do so you don't get stacked eyelets. Put a border on it because you're going to be blocking it for an hour and a half out of it. That is the chill eyelet. Yeah, you know. I'm Deja with Knit and Crochet Ever After, and thanks for watching.
