Stole or shawl, the choice is yours. Either way the results are bound to be beautiful. The lace patterns are given in both charts and row-by-row instructions. A limited portion of the lace requires lace stitches on the wrong side as well as the right. The stole begins by working from the center square in the round, then two sides are bound off and piece is worked back and forth from each side. The shawl is worked from the center back, down. (Shown in Tanis Fiber Arts Purple Label Cashmere Sock in Jewel)
Adelei Shawl - $5
Adelei is a shawl constructed from the top down. Unique increases are incorporated in several places through the stockinette body to create a fuller, more ruffled appearance when worn as a scarf. I loved the look of the corner points of the lace so much, that I decided I needed more, and this was the perfect shape in which to include them. Add beads for a touch of sparkle and elegance. Includes charted and written instructions. Pattern has been test knit and tech edited. (Shown in Malabrigo Sock, in Ochre)
Ashwyn Beret- $3
Ashwyn is a name derived from the word Ashvin, a month on the Hindu calendar. Ashwyn is a slouchy beret which was created in conjunction with Malabrigo Stockpile Month, so the name seemed fitting. It was also inspired by the 198 Yds of Heaven shawlette by Christy Verity, and coordinates nicely with that scarf. Knit from the top down, Ashwyn features a leaf lace pattern that blooms from the crown. The hat is finished off with 1×1 ribbing. Pattern includes full chart, and written instructions. Size can be adjusted slightly by varying yarn and gauge. Requires 125 yds worsted yarn. Finished size fits average female head. (Shown in Malabrigo Worsted, Pearl)
Seeds of Change – $3
(Purchasing through Raverly gives you access to two formats, and stores the pattern in your library if you are a member.)
Also available for purchase through Knit Picks for just $1.99.
Seeds of Change is a triangular shawl worked top down. It has a delicate lacy edge that grows from lace reminiscent of leaves, buds, and seeds. The crochet bind off creates a dainty scalloped edge. Written and charted instructions included. Adventurous beginner to intermediate level. Requires 400-440 yds sock yarn. Finished size is 42″ wide and 20″ long, but main chart may be repeated to make a larger shawl. (Shown in Knit Picks Stroll Tonal, Blue Yonder)
Berruti Hat – $2
Also available for purchase through Knit Picks.
Berruti was designed as a mens beanie, but is great for the girls, too. It features a zig-zagging, lightning bolt rib pattern along one side of the hat that grows from the ribbed band, and decreases to a nice point at the crown. Simple knit and purl design is easy enough for a beginner, but interesting enough for experienced knitters. Worked bottom up. Includes two sizes for child and adult. Written instructions only. (Shown in Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, Aurora Heather – size large)
Sweet Eleanor Hat – $5
500 copies sold benefited the Dickson family for medical expenses.
Cabled beanie style hat features two cables, the larger of which decreases into a star-like pattern on the crown. Hat is worked bottom up, with DK or worsted weight yarn on a slightly larger needle than called for to allow for extra stretch and comfort. Two sizes available for average child and adult size heads. Pattern is also easily modified through varied gauge and number of repeats completed. Written instructions with abbreviations and fully charted. (Shown in Malabrigo Worsted, Dusty)
Flower Bud Beanie- Free!
The Flower Bud Beanie is worked bottom up in worsted weight yarn of your choice. It knits up quickly with a lace pattern that is easy to memorize.
