Pattern
This handy little shoulder pouch is knit as a rectangle with a few eyelets, then folded and sewn up the sides. The eyelets and a simple I-cord provide easy closure. The tassels were added because the design just seemed to ask for them. Have fun with this playful project.

Yarn
GGH’s Tavira, Aran, 100% Cotton

I found Tavira to be the perfect match for Ali because it feels so soft in your hands but provides excellent strength and stability for this adorable little drawstring pouch.

If you want the fun of creating a truly unique tie, Brad is the one for you. The concept for this two-colored interwoven creation is simple. The strip of the tie that is typically hidden behind the wider portion in front is showcased when laced through six small horizontal slits. The seed and linen stitches are combined with what are in fact extended buttonholes resulting in a tie that is fun to knit. The color change occurs under the collar so the result is intriguing and the fellow who wears it ends up with a delightful conversation piece hanging from his neck…or yours.

Pattern
This design was inspired by athletic sportswear. I chose superfine merino wool or a cotton/bamboo/silk blend to make it very wearable with a shirt, t-shirt, or, what the heck, no shirt at all. The sleeves and body are worked separately in stockinette from the top down, then when completed sewn together to create a classic crewneck. Have fun making this sporty sweater and end up a winner.

Free Backpack Project Bag • Free Unique Row Checker

Have fun making this sweater for any young athlete or sports fan. The design draws from the traditional athletic look but is styled for a modern feel in line with today’s lifestyles. You can chose extra fine merino wool or a very comfy cotton blend. Both make it very wearable with a shirt or a t-shirt.

The sleeves and body are knitted separately in stockinette, then, when completed, sewn together to create a classic crewneck. Both the upper body and sleeves are worked flat from the top down—casting on at the neck edge and knitting to the bottom of the armhole. Then the lower body and sleeves are worked in the round from the armhole to the cuff and hem.

Pattern
This lightweight top or beach coverup is worked in two pieces. The way the fabric drapes means you have no shaping for the neckline. The front and back are exactly alike, which means it is reversible — two tops in one.  Each is worked flat from the hem to the shoulders. The sides are then sewn using the invisible garter stitch seam, and the shoulders are finished with the three-needle bind off. It couldn’t be much simpler or more comfortable.

Here is a modern take on a simple tie—a little four-stitch cable running vertically in the midst of one-by-one ribbing. This skinny tie is both modern and reminiscent of nostalgic looks from the 50s. The colorful cable is knitted into the tie using the intarsia technique. And surprise the cable disappears inside the knot at the neck. So enjoy this rather playful pattern and create a fun tie for a rather playful fellow, or for yourself.

Pattern
It was René Lacoste, the legendary French tennis player, who first conceived what we know today as the polo shirt. This pattern is inspired by René and designed so every knitter can enjoy the pleasure of hand-crafting a shirt that is as comfortable as the original design from 1929. The pattern is worked from the top down in one piece so the only seam to be sewn is the body hem. The shoulders and neck are shaped using German short rows, stitches are picked up around the arm hole, the body and arms are worked in the round. Alternating stockinette and twisted stockinette create a subtle sophisticated vertical stripe pattern. This knitting pattern includes a list of all abbreviations, glossary of terms, and a crisp schematic with dimensions for proper blocking.

Yarn
HiKoo’s CoBaSi, Fingering, 55% Cotton, 16% Bamboo, 8% Silk, 21% Elastic Nylon

In this amazing blend of fibers, the cotton and bamboo are the basis for a washable yarn, silk adds strength, and elastic nylon helps the finished garment hold its shape. The result is soft and gentle with a wool-like stretch.

Pattern
This could be the softest, lightest scarf you will ever make. When I first saw Ecopuno yarn in white I immediately thought of light, fluffy snow. Snowflakes melt in your hand and this yarn seems to do the same.

I began to conceive snowflakes, large and small, fashioned from tiny eyelets. But I found all the options for creating eyelets disappointing. Needing them to be symmetrical, I created my own unique stitch. So, as you work this pattern, you’ll learn the new James’ Symmetrical Eyelet stitch.

Yarn
Lana Grossa’s Ecopuno, DK, 72% Cotton, 17% merino,11% Alpaca

Work this pattern and you’ll discover that this blend of the softest finest microfibers of cotton with merino and alpaca is remarkable. What makes it so remarkable is the way in which merino and alpaca are wrapped with tiny strands of cotton. You’re sure to believe it is entirely merino and alpaca. It is like knitting with air…when the air is filled with delicate snowflakes.

Pattern
The stockinette yoke combined with a generous grid of open eyelet and fitted ribbing on the body and arms works to expand the chest and diminish the waist. Who wouldn’t like that? As a top-down design without seams and invisible raglan increases, Doug provides techniques that add up to a pattern that is both interesting and rewarding. And the result of your needlework could be a great gift for yourself or someone else.

Here is a pattern with four designs in one. Both the tie and complementary pocket square are double knit designs. The CoBaSi blended yarn includes elastic nylon, which results in a very snug stitch pattern when knitted tightly. The results are ideal for double knitting and for creating a tie that can easily be tied without stretching and distortion. The polka dot pattern provides an even attachment between the two layers of stockinette. And the color pairing provides nice options for suits and for casual sport coats. The pocket square is the final fashion touch for the gentleman who enjoys just a hint of dandy in his wardrobe.

"This tie is a classic. I love Jim's double-knit pattern. Very well written."

Pattern
Our favorite sporty sweater has been re-imagined in luscious Basis fingering weight. The pairing of two variegated yarns that were meant to be united almost guarantees compliments when you finish this project.

The sleeves and body are knitted separately in stockinette, then sewn together to create a classic crewneck. Both the upper body and sleeves are worked flat from the top down to the bottom of the armhole. Then the lower body and sleeves are worked in the round from the armhole to the cuff and hem. Tackle this modern version of a classic sporty sweater and you’re sure to have a homerun.

This pattern includes a list of all abbreviations, glossary of terms, and a crisp schematic with dimensions for proper blocking. It also comes with our unique Row Checker. A tool you can use to help keep track of your stitch count, row number, increases, and decreases. Throughout the pattern you’ll find indicators of when to refer to your Row Checker.

Yarn
Trendsetter’s Basis, Fingering, 75% Micro-Fiber Cotton, 16% Wool, 9% Cashmere

This very light and very special blend. Microfibers of cool, soft cotton, wrap around a blend of resilient wool   cashmere to add a luxurious glow. It provides clear stitch definition and has a delightful hand when knitting, because while being cotton based it knits like wool. And last but not least the color variegations include some subtle touches to elevate the sophistication of your finished work.

Yarn
Lana Knit’s allhemp6 – DK – 100% hemp, eco-yarn

Long line flax is wet spun for vibrant color, outstanding drape, longevity and colorfast with ultimate softness and sheen. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And hemp is stronger and softer than cotton, will last twice as long and will not mildew. It’s a sustainable crop and an acre of hemp will produce as much fiber as 2 to 3 acres of cotton. While pesticides and herbicides are used in the production of other fibers, hemp requires none. Hand or machine wash, lay flat to dry or tumble dry.

Trendsetter’s Scarlett, DK, 100% Egyptian Cotton

This highest-quality cotton yarn is designed to be extra smooth as well as soft. A high twist, multi-ply washable yarn with loft and stretch, so it’s not only easy to care for, but easy to knit with as well.
