Spring is in the air and here at DHG we\u2019re in the mood for stitches that really honour this wonderful season. So that\u2019s exactly why, among all the ones we\u2019ve got on file, <\/span>we\u2019ve chosen the Mimosa stitch<\/span><\/strong>. Why do we like it? Because it\u2019s <\/span>easy to do and really effective<\/span><\/strong>. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s 3 dimensional but not too bulky making it suitable for loads of different types of projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this stitch, we\u2019ve used our <\/span>Piuma extra fine pure merino wool<\/span><\/strong> which you\u2019re probably asking yourselves why we chose a wool yarn for a springtime project, aren\u2019t you? Ok you\u2019ve got us, we can\u2019t deny it, we absolutely love wool and in our opinion it\u2019s suitable for any season! I particularly love pure wool or pure cashmere cardigans and wear them all year round. In spring and autumn, I wear them instead of a coat and in the summer I wear them over my shoulders when the evenings are a bit chilly. They are like a big hug and tr\u00e8s chic.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, <\/span>Piuma\u2019s new colours<\/span><\/strong> came out a few days ago. Printed or plain, bold or pastel you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice!<\/span><\/p>

Here’s a close up of the Mimosa stitch.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>

How to knit the Mimosa stitch<\/h2>

MATERIALS
<\/span><\/b>Piuma yarn<\/a><\/b><\/span> <\/b>col. Tulle 100 g \/ 3.5 oz
<\/span>Knitting needle <\/span>n\u00b0 8 EU \/ 11 US<\/span>
<\/p>

DIFFICULTY LEVEL
<\/b><\/span>Easy<\/span>
<\/p>

METHOD <\/b>
<\/p>

The Mimosa stitch is done on a multiple of 4 stitches.<\/span>
Row 1 and all the uneven rows<\/span><\/strong>: purl<\/span>
row 2<\/span><\/strong>: *3 stitches in 1 (knit 1 in the same stitch, purl 1 and knit 1), purl 3 together*, always repeat from * to *<\/span>
row 4<\/span><\/strong>: *purl 3 together, 3 stitches in 1*<\/span>, always repeat from * to *<\/span>
row 6<\/span><\/strong>: repeat from row 2<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>

On odds rows, not indicated on the diagram, purl all stitches.<\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m thinking that my next cardigan is definitely going to be made with the Mimosa stitch and more than likely it\u2019ll be embellished with our <\/span>crochet wool flowers<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. I\u2019m by no means able to make them myself, so I’m going to take full advantage of the fact that they’re already made and put them to good use. What about you?<\/span><\/p>

If you liked this tutorial and would like to continue learning how to knit, then you should definitely take a look at this tutorial too: <\/span>How to knit the Mussolini stitch (or mock fisherman’s rib stitch)<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>
