Sideways Designer Knitting Patterns

This designer knitting pattern is worked sideways in ribbing and drop stitches. You’ll be pleasantly surprised, by this open, airy summer tunic or wrap.

Designer Knitting Pattern
Charlotte was created for Solo Lino, the amazing recycled linen yarn that is soft, silky and oh so drapey. This pattern was named after Charlotte Amalie on St. John in the US Virgin Islands, because when it is worn the pattern opens revealing waves, reminiscent of the island’s beaches. This beautiful tunic that can be dressed up or down over tights, shorts, a skirt, or maybe silk evening pants. The tunic pairs two matching squares, front and back with no neck shaping because the fabric drapes naturally. If you prefer a summery wrap just knit one long piece and voila, you have a dreamy new addition to your wardrobe.

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.

This designer knitting pattern was created for Zauberball Crazy variegated yarn. It is written with just the right amount of positive ease to provide a loose, comfy, casual fit. Worked from wrist to wrist in two pieces—front and back—which are then sewn along the top and bottom edges of each sleeve and down each side. Next naturally curling stockinette is added at the waist and neck.
