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
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
Lana Grossa’s Riserva, Aran, 70% Organically Grown Bio Cotton, 30% Recycled Polyamide, Eco-Yarn

Organically grown cotton and recycled polyamide are a perfect match for sustainability, and I found Riserva 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. 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.

Yarn

Socks are fun to knit, and the pop of color at the tip of these socks make them fun to wear as well. Light yet durable, they are made with high quality yarn for long-time wear, while the ribbed leg design gives them a fit that is comfortable yet snug.

As a bonus, the knitting pattern is written with the option of making the traditional mid-calf length or short ankle socks. Get out your needles and start smiling.

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.

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.

Yarn

Pattern
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 between 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
Caribe is a tribute to the Virgin Island Oceanographic Park created to protect the waters, sea life and reefs that surround the island of Saint John. The scarf or wrap pattern is worked in the rather amazing shadow knitting technique, which is simple knit and purl stitches in 2 colors. When viewed directly, you see only stripes but from an angle a school of fish magically appear. Doesn’t that sound like fun?

Yarn
HiKoo’s CoBaSi+, Light Worsted, 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
Carmen is a beautiful modern take on the classic poncho. The rather remarkable Basis yarn is a blend of merino, alpaca and cotton, which results in a multi-season garment with sophisticated color variegation. The reversible stitches and construction allow you to showcase either a slip stitch or rib pattern. Knitted I-cord trim provides the finishing touch.

Yarn
Basis- 75% Cotton, 16% Alpaca, 9% Cashmere – Fingering Weight 210 yarns/50 grams

A unique blend of cashmere and alpaca with micro threads of cotton. It has the elasticity and bounce of animal fibers, yet it’s mostly cotton – almost unbelievable. So, if in the past you have not enjoyed working with cotton, this yarn will surely change your mind.

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.

Yarn
GGH’s Reva, Sport/Fingering, 95% Recycled Cotton, 5% Other Fibers, 2-ply, Eco-yarn

In our efforts to find eco-friendly yarns, we were delighted to discover Reva. If you’d like to support the growing tend to recycle and reuse in the fashion industry, work with this beautiful, recycled yarn. Its subdued color palette and subtle textured finish creates a casually sophisticated look. So, its soft easy drape will feel good for more reasons than one.

GGH’s Scarlett, DK, 100% Egyptian Cotton, Eco-yarn

This fine cotton from Egypt is divine. The feel in our hands and the resulting drape in the finished garment will delight you. The on-screen color representations for yarn may not be precise representations of actual colors due to variance in monitor calibrations.

Pattern
Charlotte is named after the historic town of Charlotte Amalie on the island of Saint Thomas. The design is a tribute to the warn ocean waves that wash the sandy beaches. It is a bit deceptive because it is much easier that it appears—two-by-two rib with alternating groups of drop stitches. The tunic is fashioned from two simple rectangles artfully sewn at the shoulders and the sides. The beautiful, soft recycled linen yarn and the stitch pattern allow the piece to drape and grow with a soft flowing ease.

Yarn
Solo Lino – 80% Recycled Linen, 20% Linen – Sport Weight - Eco-Yarn

Unlike traditional linen, this amazing yarn is soft and gentle on the hands. And feels wonderful against your skin. It is available in beautiful pastels and rich hues. The on-screen color representations for yarn may not be precise representations of actual colors due to variance in monitor calibrations.

Pattern
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.

Yarn
Brown Sheep’s Nature Spun Fingering, 100% Wool
