Designer Knitting 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.

Designer Knitting 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.

This could be the softest, lightest scarf you will ever make.

Designer Knitting Pattern
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.

And you’ll discover that this blend of the softest cotton with merino and alpaca is remarkable. What makes it so remarkable is the fact that it is 75% cotton, but 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.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Designer Knitting Pattern
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.

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

This fingering weight yarn is a very light and very special blend. It is mostly cool, soft cotton, that has been enhanced with a bit of wool to give it resilience. Plus, 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.

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.

Yarn Recommendations
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.

The on-screen color representations for yarn may not be precise representations of actual colors due to variance in monitor calibrations.

Here is a contemporary take on the classic raglan sweater. Bands of slip-stitch rib create the raglan detail and provide an elegantly subtle fashion statement.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Designer Knitting Pattern
This top down design has no seams to be sewn. It combines traditional stockinette with a fresh approach to shaping the yoke. The neck is shaped and the yoke is worked while raglan pattern bands are created between the front, back and sleeves. At the underarm, the body and sleeve stitches are separated, then each section is worked in the round and finished with a ribbed hem and cuffs. Stitches are picked up along the cast on edge and a ribbed neckband completes the sweater. The result is a timeless creation in a luxurious, natural blend of fibers.

A poncho that slips over your head and drapes over your arms is a carefree idea for a spring and summer cover up top. So, here’s a lady’s top that has the option to be worn open poncho style or closed with laces up the sides. The pattern is worked from the bottom front up to the boatneck-style opening and down to the back hem. There is no shaping, so it is easy and relaxing to knit. And simple openwork adds detail to provide a little fun. Enjoy.

Reva is an environmentally sensitive yarn crafted from recycled cotton. The subdued color palette creates a casually sophisticated look for any project. It is a 2-ply yarn with a subtle textured finish that provides enhanced visual interest while maintaining stitch definition. Hand washing is recommended.
