This sweater uses James’ Pinwheel Cable, which adds interest and fun to the classic pullover.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Designer Knitting Pattern
For Addison I experimented with a simple technique that resulted in cables that seem to be spinning. So, I named them pinwheel cables. They are fun to knit and the 6 columns of pinwheels on the chest turn this classic pullover into a very distinctive sweater. It is worked top down from a provisional cast on across the back of the shoulders. The front picks up provisional stitches so both sides can be worked to the underarm. Then the body is worked in the round. Each sleeve starts with picked up stitches that are worked from the top onfthe sleeve cap before the lower sleeve is worked in the round to the cuff. You’ll have a seamless sweater that can be tailored at the waist and finished at a length that suits your own personal style.

This pattern includes instructions for all sizes, a list of all abbreviations, a schematic for accurate blocking, and a glossary of terms. It is accompanied by our proprietary StitchSaver™ Row Checker. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on our web site.

Yarn
Lana Knits’ allhemp6, 100% hemp, 165 yards,151meters, 3.5 oz./100 grams

Like linen, hemp is remarkably durable yet gets softer with each washing. And perhaps more importantly a perfect example of sustainability. It is stronger and softer than cotton, will last twice as long and will not mildew. An acre of hemp will produce as much fiber as 2 to 3 acres of cotton. Cotton grows only in moderate climates and requires more water than hemp, which is also frost tolerant and grows in all 50 states, including Alaska. Isn’t that amazing? While pesticides and herbicides are used in the production of other fibers, hemp requires none. It is truly a wonder fiber.

To view the matching Jackie Hat pattern, click here.

This designer knitting pattern was inspired by the discovery of the fascinating horizontal stitch technique. Imagine you’re working in stockinette, but every few rows the stitches turn 90 degrees and travel sideways.

The finished piece is a delightful combination of stockinette with horizontal rows that also – surprise – travel a bit diagonally. The pattern was created with Soffio yarn, a wonderfully luscious cashmere blend that knits up beautifully on size 10.5 needles. How’s that for a quick, fun project

Have you knit a color blocking pattern? If so, you’ll love this pattern blocking design. It offers the fun of working blocks of distinctive stitch patterns, but the pleasure of working in a single yarn.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Designer Knitting Pattern
This luscious cashmere blend pullover is warm and cozy. And very enjoyable to knit, because the large grid of two patterns is actually the front and back of the same stitch. The simple combination of knit, purl and slip stitches produces two subtle yet distinctive textures. Worked from the top-down with the invisible raglan increase guarantees the grid pattern is an all-over perfect match. Enjoy the soft cashmere, merino and silk blend against your neck and the clean stitch definition, which is sure to prompt a few compliments. Both will feel very nice.

This pattern includes instructions for all sizes, a list of all abbreviations, a schematic for accurate blocking, and a glossary of terms. It is accompanied by our proprietary StitchSaver™ Row Checker. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on our web site.

This designer knitting pattern features the magic knot. So, you can introduce dashes of color spontaneously without creating numerous yarn tails to be worked in when finishing your new sweater.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Designer Knitting Pattern
This designer knitting pattern is worked from the top down in one piece with raglan sleeves. It incorporates the magic knot technique to introduce dashes of color spontaneously over the entire sweater. Each dash begins and ends by joining two strands of yarn with a knot that does not come untied, appears only as a tiny bump and does not leave yarn tails to be worked in. Since Merlin is worked top down, you can make the length of the body and sleeves suite your own personal style. Then two pockets along with an attached neck and button band finish off your new creation.

This designer knitting pattern was inspired by the magic knot technique for joining yarns. The project is easy and fun, and the results are uniquely yours.

Designer Knitting Pattern
This designer knitting pattern is very easy to knit. But the real fun is how you can create your own unique cowl based on your personal style. Whether you like fashions that are colorful or more subdued, select compatible yarns in five or more colors from your stash or purchase the perfect combination.

Work the stockinette stitch in the round, changing colors whenever you feel inspired. And each time connect the yarns using the magic knot technique. It results in a knot that is no more than a tiny bump and should never come apart. And surprise has no tails to work in when finishing your creation.

Explore a whimsical use of the shadow technique in this table runner designer knitting pattern. Then a school of fish will appear and disappear.

Designer Knitting Pattern
The shadow knitting technique of this table runner is truly delightful, yet it is very easy - just knit and purl stitches. The fun part is watching a graphic design appear and disappear as you view the work coming off your needles. If viewed straight on the pattern is stripes. When viewed from an angle a school of little fish appears. When working the Caribe pattern the result is very whimsical.

For the matching Tenley Hat pattern, click here.

Designer Knitting Pattern
When I discovered the helical knitting technique, I couldn’t resist designing an entire collection of patterns. It is a remarkably simple way to work 1-row, 2-color stripes in the round. Magically, there are no jogs and no floats on the inside. In this case it is applied to an equally simple fingerless glove pattern. It amounts to a tube with generous bands of ribbing at each end and thumb hole in the center. Fold the ribbing over to reveal the fingers, or keep it closed to keep them warm. How’s that for simple?

Yarn
Lana Knits’ allhemp6, 100% hemp, 165 yards,151meters, 3.5 oz./100 grams

Like linen, hemp is remarkably durable yet gets softer with each washing. And perhaps more importantly a perfect example of sustainability. It is stronger and softer than cotton, will last twice as long and will not mildew. An acre of hemp will produce as much fiber as 2 to 3 acres of cotton. Cotton grows only in moderate climates and requires more water than hemp, which is also frost tolerant and grows in all 50 states, including Alaska. Isn’t that amazing? While pesticides and herbicides are used in the production of other fibers, hemp requires none. It is truly a wonder fiber.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Designer Knitting Pattern
A band of little cables in ribbing starts the pattern. These cables are a delight because they do not require a cable needle. Then after adding 6 double increases every few rows, followed by double decreases you’ll have reached the crown of the hat. At which point you continue with a tiny I-cord tab that adds the finishing touch – just like every French beret.

This designer knitting pattern uses a magical technique. It is called the magic knot, because it allows you to add dashes of color throughout the project without leaving yarn tails. If you didn’t believe in magic before you will now.

Designer Knitting Pattern
The Merlin Magic Knot Wrap is a beginner level project that produces results any advanced knitter will admire. While working in simple, meditative stockinette, you can introduce dashes of color whenever you feel inspired. Each time inspiration strikes you will join the new color with the magic knot, then at the end of your dash of color tie the magic knot again returning to the original color. This remarkably simple technique is extremely reliable when working with yarns that are not slippery. A bit of friction between the two yarns does the trick. All the yarn tails are trimmed off each knot as you work so there is no extra finishing. The best part is you have a wrap that is your own unique creation.
