Anemone Stitch Video Tutorial

November 4, 2020 4 Comments

Yarn & needles provided by Knit Picks. Post contains affiliate links.

Heidi from Hands Occupied walks you through how to knit the deceptively easy anemone stitch. This stitch has a clear right side, and creates a dense, timeless finished fabric.

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

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. :)

      Thank you so much! I JUST (phew/yay!) turned in my latest knit design deadline, so as soon as I get a few days off to get some hand rest, I’ll be back to it. I’ve got a fun sweater series in store this spring! -Heidi

Much love to everyone who sent supportive messages about taking time off and creative burnout. I often deflect with humor, but it was genuinely touching to connect with folks who understand. I’ll have something new for y’all later this week, so stay tuned! ❤️💛💙
