This is the ideal meditative knitting project. Or an easy first-time beginner’s project.

Designer Knitting Pattern
This timeless design is a perfect example of simple, carefree knitting. The scarf is worked sideways in garter stitch. All you do is knit from the first stitch to the last. And cutting the yarn after each row creates fringe on both ends. Plus, the pattern includes a simple row checker to keep track of where you are. So, you can set this project aside for a week, a month or a year, then come back and start right where you left off. Doesn’t that sound pleasant?

The shadow knitting technique of this table runner is truly delightful, yet it is very easy - just knit and purl stitches.

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?

I’ve resisted yarns with polyester…until now.

When I was introduced to Popcycle, HiKoo’s blend of 50% recycled plastic bottles and 50% bamboo, I was amazed. It is exceptionally soft with a wonderful hand, yet cool and extremely strong. It looks beautiful due to a subtle tweed effect that is the result of each fiber taking the color differently when dyed. But the best part is there are 2 plastic bottles in each hank of yarn. A study in 2016 showed that Americans consumed 50 billion plastic bottles and only recycled 23%. Just one million plastic bottles recycled saves 250 barrels of oil and eliminates 180 metric tons of CO2 emissions from being released into the atmosphere. So, knitting with this sturdy, soft, cool, beautiful fingering weight yarn feels good in more ways than one.

Meet Sherlock. Inspired by the legendary Mr. Holmes and his renowned houndstooth print hat, our scarf is a modern take on the classic print.

The softest cashmere from Inner Mongolia is knit in the round, there is no wrong side. So, the fact that the yarn floats are invisible is no mystery. The result is a scarf that is luxurious and timeless and even perhaps worn by Sherlock, if he could have had one.

Designer Knitting Pattern
With one pattern you can choose to knit a luxuriously soft ear warmer or, if you prefer, a hat that will keep the entire head warm. And there is an additional bonus.

Here’s an easy knit tie pattern you may be tempted to wear with several things in your closet.

Designer Knitting Pattern
It is knitted in garter stitch at a tight tension for a clean, minimalist look with a modern pop of color. The pattern’s evenly spaced decreases made in the middle of select rows are virtually invisible, so your finished tie has clean edges without evidence of the necessary decreases. And as a bonus, two skeins of yarn typically provide enough yardage to create two ties, if you like, with the color sequence reversed. Knit one for your man and one for you!

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 pattern includes a list of all abbreviations 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.

Here is a pattern with four designs in one. Both the tie and complementary pocket square are double knit designs.

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.
