Worked from the cuff to the bind off, these stranded fingerless mitts include instruction for a full mitten version. Please accept this as a small gesture of unity as we all focus on our health.

This is an entertaining mitten to knit with polka dots in as many colors as your stash can supply. The background yarn is caught behind the dots throughout, allowing for a simplified “stranded intarsia” effect. The mitten is begun and worked in the round, except for rounds with dots where you will be working intarsia in the round, which is work...

Note on Hat Sizes: The recommended gauge of 4.25 sts =1” will give you finished brim circumferences of 19.75 (22.5, 25.5)”, but you can adjust hat size to in-between sizes by using a different gauge. Keeping to the same instructions, here are your likely results based on different gauges.

This shawl is cast-on in the center using a provisional method, and worked using short rows to build wedge-shaped blocks in alternating colors.

The official knit shawl of the 2017 Knit North yarn crawl, March 16-19th. For further details, see the Knit North website.

It seems to me that sheep are a knitter’s spirit animal, and who among us can resist their wooly promise of yarn-to-be? Knit a sweater decorated with sheep for your young one, and see if they don’t become a knitter too.

Errata: In the original pdf, the Third Chart in rows 8-14 had a typo in the form of a “no stitch” which should be obvious while you are knitting it. The new version is now available, and was also sent out 3/21/16 with the corrected chart.

The hat and sweater are written as an introduction to Intarsia-in-the-Round. Be brave! This Shark won’t bite.

MATERIALS

This sweater is worked seamlessly and in one piece from the neck down, and mostly in the round. The intarsia star is worked in the so-called “in the round” method, and the technique is described in detail for an invisible join. Video instruction for my method is posted on YouTube here.

A special sweater for sock weight yarn to throw on in the spring, summer or fall. Knit seamlessly from the top down with lace stripes, short sleeves, and a-line shaping for a flattering silhouette.

Worked in the round, this hat is a cloche or “box” style with vertical sides and a flat top, featuring a strong horizontal cable that is especially flattering for long oval and rectangular faces.

Hetty’s Garden Coat

An adult sweater with a whimsical heart. Thank you to the knitters who loved knitting my baby sweater pattern Welcome to the Flock enough to also ask for a grown-up version for themselves. And what knitter doesn’t love sheep just a little too much?

Errata: page 3, “At the same time, work all charts as set for 7 (7, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 12, 12) more rows” should read “At the same time, work all charts as set for 8 (8, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12) more rows.”

Please Note: When printing this pattern out on a black and white printer, take time to note the pattern repeat box by hand as the repeat margin wanders, and the red line is not reproduced by b+w printers.

A youtube video tutorial for the 4 from 1 increase and the 4 to 1 decrease can be found here.

Errata: The current version of the pattern has omitted instructions for where to place the stripes on the right arm band. Until an update can be issued, here’s what you need to know: The stripes are each two rows deep, and are separated from the arm band chart by two rows of background color.

Choose finished size depending on how you like your sweater to fit, but know that the ribbing is stretchy, and offers a wide range in each finished size. Sample was knit in a size 42” to fit a 41” bust, but also flatters with negative ease up to 48” bust.

A quick to knit hat perfect for leftovers.
