It gets easier if you practice it. I now do it automatically when my stitch count dwindles to 8 or so stitches. I can only do plain purling backwards, meaning that I haven't figured out how to do decreases or increases. But for most of my needs, and patterns, the WS rows are plain knit.
This is such a cute pattern! I love the name & idea of it too. Our home is our sanctuary ❤ I think using some 100% cotton yarn that it would make a really cute washcloth, pot holder or trivet! I might make one to practice the pattern & purl return from the left for my mom for christmas. Edited to add, thank you for simplifying the method of colorwork for us. It seemed so daunting before but watching & listening to you actually do this made me realize it's not something I need to avoid or shy away from anymore. ❤
Great idea to make a washcloth! Keep in mind that if you purl your house is going to be wider. This is because stockinette is taller than garter stitch. Also you will have to change the roof pattern because that shape will not be a "right triangle."
Thank you! @@knitwitmeI'll keep these tips in mind & play around with it, not cutting ends & weaving in until it looks like the shapes & proportions are correct. I already picked up the pattern & will use it to make various projects... hopefully one day, I'll knit the full blanket as well. 🥰
You’re welcome! Have fun with your blanket! You can purchase the pattern for the blanket at: www.theknitwit.org/store/safe-at-home-blanket The version shown in the video is the mini-house.
What a treat. Thank you. I have never had so much fun with a knitting book as I have had with your Geometric Knit Blankets. I regard it as a shaping (and color) workshop! I really need to buy this one. Edit: I went looking for the Iconic Knits book on the KnitWit website but found myself connected to Amazon with no details on which of the "iconic" projects (which I take means oldies but goodies for the most part) will be included. I will have to wait and see I guess but it might help your pre-order numbers if buyers could be sure about how many are duplicates from previous publications. Thanks!
Those are such kind words. Thank you! The next book (Dec, 2024 release) will have the Safe at Home pattern. You can preorder it here www.amazon.com/Margaret-Holzmanns-Iconic-Knit-Blankets/dp/0811775720/
I love this blanket. I just preordered your new book. I also put in a request to join your Facebook group. I’m looking forward to seeing other people’s blankets.
I liked your video very much❤ I am going to use this small house to knit Xmas ornaments and give them away to friends and family members to put them on their Xmas 🎄 . Thank you so much 💓
Do you think this could be made on a knitting machine? I was thinking of a building it like it was a quilt doing one row of the houses. Another row of the roofs and skies , I would seem them together using The Hague linker. I haven’t used the linker yet so I don’t know if that idea is practical or not.
I think you could, but you would need to have a knitting machine that can do garter stitch in order to use these exact stitch and row counts. Also, you would want to knit the roof in a solid color rather than in stripes to simplify it. Keep in mind that a stitch in stockinette is shorter than in garter stitch. The houses are knitted sideways so they would be wider worked in stockinette.

So excited I happened upon this video! Great tutorial!
Fascinating. Never seen anyone do purl stitch backwards!

Wasn’t it the knit stitch backward? She was doing garter stitch, after all.
Wow wow and wow. A lot of work but easypeasy with the end result a STUNNING blanket. 1 house a night and before long you have finished. Clever girl.
It’s very satisfying to knit the houses and watch the blanket grow, and making them all a different color scheme keeps it interesting!
Love this pattern -- have had it in my Ravelry queue for ages, but haven't started. So glad this came up in my YT feed.
It is a really fun one to knit! I hope the video helps you out!
Ive learned so much from watching this. I might just try making a little house for my xmas tree. Many thanks🎉 Merry Christmas
I am glad you enjoyed the video and learned some new techniques! Your idea to use the house as a Christmas ornament is great!

Thank you for your support! I will go and check out my group and let you in.
@ thank you!
Pour un projet à long terme, c'est super beau 👍 et bien expliqué 👍
Thank you so much!
Thank you. I have had the pattern for over a year. Hopefully this will help to feel less scared.❤
I think it will help you because it shows the sequence of construction steps and the techniques. Good luck!

That’s a wonderful idea! I'm so glad it gave you inspiration. I would love to see some photos of the ornaments when you are done with them.
Love this! Thanks!!
