Pattern
A simple cable combination creates a fresh new cable pattern that suggests a playful spinning pinwheel. When it was repeated in columns the Addison pattern took shape. It is worked from the top down with set in sleeves, which are also worked from the top down. The result is a nicely tailored sweater pattern that provides interest as you knit, and a delightful multi-season addition to your wardrobe.

Yarn
GGH’s Volante, DK, 55% Merino, 45% Cotton

This blend of soft merino and cotton provides a yarn that feels great in your hands as you knit and against your skin when you’ve finished your new sweater.

Pattern

Yarn

Because it feels so soft in your hands but provides excellent strength and stability for this adorable little drawstring pouch. Plus, the recycled polyamide adds additional softness and a little elasticity.

Pattern
This design will surprise you for two reasons. It may look complicated, but you’ll discover it’s rather simple. The mosaic knitting technique is the most delightful way to do color work. You knit each row with only one color at a time incorporating slip stitches and eliminating half of the floats on the back side of your fabric. The second surprise is the yarn. Ecopuno looks, feels and behaves like the beautiful blend of alpaca and merino that it is, but it’s 72% cotton. So, be prepared to be surprised as you work this project and delighted when you finish it.

Pattern
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 person who wears it ends up with a delightful conversation piece hanging from his neck…or yours.

Yarn
Brown Sheep’s Cotton Fine, 80% Pima Cotton, 20% Merino Wool

The cotton makes for a cooler garment while the wool provides more resilience. It has a wonderful hand whether working with it or wearing it.

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.

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.

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, so it is reversible. So, that’s 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, stylish lady, 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 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.

Pattern

“This could be the softest, lightest wrap you will ever make. When I first saw Ecopuno yarn in white I immediately thought of light, fluffy snow. I began to conceive snowflakes fashioned from tiny eyelets. But needing eyelets to be symmetrical, I created my own unique stitch. Snowflakes melt in your hand and this wrap seems to do the same.”
~ James

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

Pattern
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, or lady, who enjoys just a hint of dandy in their wardrobe.

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