Simplest Sweater: Sizes

My first knitted sweater, as simple as I could make it. Boat neck, no ribbing, 3/4 sleeves, with just enough waist and sleeve shaping to add a bit of elegance. Top-down construction means no seaming!

This file includes versions of the pattern in women’s even sizes from 32 to 48, and includes a schematic for each size.

Winter Flame

This is an uncomplicated yet elegant pattern for a great scarf, with enough detail to make even simple colors come alive. I suggest a fairly tight gauge to place the emphasis on the stitchwork. It’s also easy to adjust the pattern width as desired. Makes a great gift; mother-in-law tested and approved! :)

Arcadian Ivy Blanket

A blanket with an elegant lace border, this pattern is fun and easy to knit. The pattern uses simple stitches and a repeating lace design. Gauge is not critical for this project, and both length and width are adjustable.

The lace detailing is aligned inside and out, creating an even border around a smooth stockinette center. Gives a delicate look with warmth that will stand up to use, plus fewer holes to snag little fingers and toes!

This pattern is also easy to personalize with duplicate stitch initials, embroidery, or other motifs; great for gifts!
