Best Free Patterns for Knit Cowls

by Kristen Leave a Comment

I love knit cowls because they can be worn throughout the year. I like to wear them in place of a scarf during the winter, and as an accessory to my outfit during the fall. It’s a great way to add a splash of color to any outfit. Here are some beautiful free patterns for knit cowls and infinity scarves.

You can scroll through the pictures and then click on the link to grab the free pattern.

Fingerless Gloves to Knit and Crochet

by Kristen 2 Comments

Now that the cold weather has hit, there’s no better project to knit or crochet than a cozy pair of fingerless gloves or mittens.  These cute mitts not only keep your hands warm, but they are also a great accessory to any outfit.

I don’t know about you, but my hands are always freezing during the winter.  Wearing something on my hands that lets me keep warm, but still lets me work with my hands is just what I need on a cold day.  Here are a few of my favorite patterns.

November Mystery Knit Along

by Kristen Leave a Comment

Have you ever done a mystery project?  A mystery knit along is a fun way to work on a project.  Not only do you get to do some knitting, you also get to meet other knitters who are working on the same project.  It’s a fun way to turn an individual activity into something that’s fun and interactive.  Think of it like a book club for knitters.

Mystery Knit Along

The other fun part about mystery projects is that you start the project blind.  The designer, or coordinator or the knit along, will share only a portion of the pattern at a time.  The mystery of what techniques and stitches you’ll be working on adds to the fun of these projects.

Craftsy is hosting a Mystery Knit Along for November.  The pattern featured in this knit along was designed by Felicia Lo.  In addition to the pattern, you’ll also get:

  • Access to a web-based tutorial
  • Detailed written instructions
  • Up close photos to help walk you through the pattern
  • One skein of superwash wool yarn from SweetGeorgia

You can find lots of mystery projects and knit alongs on the web.  If you are a member of Ravelry, you can do a search to find one to join.  And if you’re not a knitter, there are also fun “craft-along” groups for crochet and other crafts.  Craftsy is also hosting a Mystery Crochet-Along for November, so there’s a project for everyone!

Mystery Crochet Along

Have you ever done a mystery project or joined a knit-along (or crochet along)?  Would love to hear what you thought.  I know that for me the only downside of a mystery project is that I don’t always have the time to keep-up with the pace of the project.  But that’s OK.  That just means that I end-up having all of the pattern available to me and I don’t have to wait for the next installment of the the pattern.  And I also benefit from seeing everyone’s comments and design ideas.  Because like any project, there’s always room to adjust a pattern to fit your style.

Knit Shrug Ideas for a Summer Night

by Kristen Leave a Comment

The warm weather may be here, but that doesn’t mean that you have to put your knitting needles away.  I know that a lot of people tend to knit more in the cooler months, but summertime is a great time to keep knitting.  And if you’re like me and always looking for a little cover-up to keep you warm on a cool summer night, then here are some ideas for knit shrugs.

Cabled Knit Shrug

Knit Cabled Shrug

This cabled knit shrug looks adorable with a sundress and the cable pattern adds beautiful detailing to this sweater.  Click here for pattern.

Three-Quarter Sleeve Shrug

Gwanwyn Shrug

I love the detailing on the sleeve of this shrug.  And even better…it is knit in one piece so there’s no seaming to worry about.  You gotta love that.  With 3-quarter sleeves, this sweater is the perfect 3-season layering piece.  Pattern for shrug.

These lightweight sweaters are the perfect way to keep warm without adding bulk to an outfit.  I think that they are ideal for wearing to an air conditioned event, or perfect for keeping you warm when you’re outside at night.
