Anemone Stitch Video Tutorial

In this week’s new video, learn how to knit the deceptively simple Anemone Stitch, a dense stitch with delightfully vintage vibes and a clear right and wrong side. It’s so lovely that I see myself using in a vintage style sweater knitting project (as is often the case 😉). But I also see it right at home as a thick, textured winter hat/gloves/scarf set! This elegant and unique stitch uses a lot of wrist action, so be careful if you’re working it largely by itself for an extended period of time.

Note: If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ll know that my smaller dog, Storm, passed away last week. She had been ill for awhile, so Hands Occupied was put on the back burner as life took priority. Thank you for your patience and understanding. For those wanting to read about Storm’s final months, I’ll direct you here. <3

Anemone Stitch Video Tutorial

Below the video itself – you can also check this out on YouTube and subscribe for even more tutorials every 1-2 weeks. I’m committing to a biweekly schedule when I have design deadlines (ahem, just got a fun new one coincidentally, which I’ll tell you more about later!). When I have flexibility, I want to do a video each week to keep up with requests. :)

Speaking of which – comment below or shoot me a message if there’s something you’d like to see on the channel soon!
