How to Use the Oh La Lana! Stitch Library

  • Filter by Multiples: Each stitch pattern is tagged with its required “stitch count” (e.g., 8 stitches or 12 stitches). This allows you to quickly find a pattern that fits your existing cast-on.
  • Digital-First Charts: Our charts are high-resolution and optimized for both printing and mobile viewing.
  • Skill Level: Whether you are a beginner or looking for a complex relief, check the “Quick Info” table on each post for the difficulty rating.
  • Click the Swatch! Each circular swatch is linked to the corresponding pattern. When you click it, you will visit the page for that specific knitting stitch. There you will find its row-by-row written instructions, the high-resolution chart, and some project ideas.
