The Dudester My friend, Bob, just opened his own Edward Jones investment office. He always looks ultra professional and put together, so I wanted to knit him a guy scarf that would be formal enough to wear with his overcoat and suits but transition to weekend wear, too. I made it extra wide so it can be worn flat or kinda scrunched up and tucked inside his coat as he said he will wear it. The scarf is knit in a hurdle stitch with garter ribs which is reversible, easy to memorize and makes an interesting texture that doesn't curl. Approximately 10" wide by 48" long Moda Dea Bamboo Wool (55% rayon from bamboo, 45% wool; 145 yds/80 g): 3 balls Heather Grey *This yarn is discontinued, but any worsted weight that gives you 5 sts/inch will work* Size 7 single points Yarn Needle It doesn't matter, but I got 19 sts/4" with a 7 and the drape was just right without being too tight or loose CO 48 sts Rows 1 & 2: slp 1 st p-wise, k to end of row. Rep Rows 1-4 until desired length
Free Crochet Bath Puff Pattern Extra Luscious Ruffle Bath Puff I’ve never been one for washcloths, having always preferred the luxurious suds created by a bath puff. With one skein of yarn and simple stitches you can crochet yourself what will hopefully become the best bath puff you’ve ever owned. Make sure your stitches are loose to allow for maximum sudsing power. Please be advised that this bath puff took nearly my entire skein of yarn (I was left with 17 grams). If your gauge is off you may find you need a second skein. Skill Level: Easy MaterialsYarn:1 skein Knit Picks Dishie [100% cotton; 100 grams; 190 yards; worsted weight], Color “conch” If you wish to make a yarn substitution you’ll want to look for another 100% cotton in a worsted weight. 180 to 200 yards of your yarn will be needed to crochet a bath puff of similar size to the one in the photos. Crochet Hook:US size G/4.5mm crochet hookUS size I/5.5mm crochet hookAdjust hook sizes as necessary to achieve gauge listed below.

Knitting Patterns: Trifle Shawl Latest Post The sky is wonderfully bright today. But it’s still pretty cold. And don’t get me started about yesterday. If the weather doesn’t shape up soon, there will be a mutiny. A few thoughts before we head into a well-earned long weekend… I am still keeping up my jogging. Read More Our Story Tricksy Knitter is the brainchild of Megan Goodacre and Charles Jaimet. As a programmer (Charles) and designer (Megan), they had made a lot of websites, but one day thought it was about time they work on a personal project, just for fun. One rollercoaster ride and several thousand yards of yarn later, here we are, in Ottawa, with a growing library of knitting patterns, a huge how-to-knit section, a couple of books, an exclusive line of knitting accessories, and an online chartmaker.

golden bird knits: Easy washcloth knitting patterns I'm on a big washcloth kick right now-- they can be finished in one or two evenings and are simple enough to knit while watching a movie. My goal is to have a supply on hand for birthdays and special occasions throughout the year. They make nice gifts when you fold one or two in to a small basket and include a bar of scented soap. Supplies: -Fantasy Naturale 100% Cotton Mercerized (you can knit both patterns with one skein of yarn) -Size US 8/5 mm straight needles To knit the ridged washcloth shown above: Cast on 34 stitches. Begin the pattern: Knit 5 rows in garter stitch. Knit 4 rows in stockinette, beginning with a knit row. Repeat the pattern until the cloth is 7 inches long or desired length, ending with the four rows of stockinette. To knit the feather and fan wash cloth shown above: (This cloth also makes a great dishcloth by making it a couple inches longer than the pattern calls for.) Cast on 40 stitches.Knit two rows in garter stitch. Begin the feather and fan pattern: Row 1: Knit.
Baby Booties Without Seams (bottom up) A pattern by YarnThrower This pattern was inspired by Ruth's "Perfect" Baby Booties, though my construction method is quite different, eliminating the seam found along the back and center bottom of many baby bootie patterns. (After searching online **unsuccessfully** for a "seamless" baby bootie pattern, I decided to figure one out on my own...) This particular pattern begins at the bottom of the bootie and works up toward the cuff. I have also published another version, which is Baby Booties Without Seams (top down). This pattern utilizes a cast on which is often used in toe-up sock patterns. (This pattern is the property of YarnThrower and may not be reproduced except for one copy for individual use. Needles required: Size 5 DPN's, or very long circular needle (40" for magic loop), or both. Yarn required: DK weight Added August 20, 2009 Abbreviations (assumes right handed knitter): P#: Purl the given # of stitches K#: Knit the given # of stitches P2tog: Purl two stitches together
Cashmere Moebius Cowl – a free pattern Please watch my video on the Moebius to learn how to get started with this kind of knitting which is unlike anything else you may have ever done. Once you learn the cast-on and what to watch for, you’ll find it easier than knitting a garter stitch scarf. I can do the Moebius Cast-On behind my back, not because I am clever, but because it is that simple. Many of my students can also, shortly after learning it. Don’t believe the myth that twisting your join creates a Moebius. A twisted cast-on has a full 360 degrees of twist, while a Moebius has half that. I designed this simple yet elegant Moebius cowl for my segment on the Knitty Gritty TV show (DIY network), in order to teach 3 basic things: the way to start any Moebius, that every design element is mirrored from the “equator” outward, and that one gets what I call “bipolar stockinette” if there is no purling at all, and that the results are oh so beautiful, graceful, and simple to manage.
Tutorial: Using ratios to calculate yardage « Yarnberry Posted by yarnberry on May 21, 2007 Sometimes I’m working on a project, and I want to figure out how many yards of yarn I’ve used to create it. I have to frog the project and measure it, or measure how many yards are left in the skein, right? There’s a much easier way: calculate how many yards I’ve used in the project, using the a kitchen scale and the yarn label. Here is an example from a slipper pattern I’m working on at the moment. Measure weight of the object (without needles, buttons, or anything else attached): = 90 g Check weight of skein from the yarn label: = 142 g Calculate percentage of skein used: = weight of object / weight of skein = 90 g /142 g Check yardage of skein from the yarn label: = 275 yd Calculate percent of yardage used: = length of skein * percent of skein used = 275 yd * 63% = 174 yd Remember that this is an estimate. So I need approximately 176 yards of 18st/4″ yarn to make this project again. Like this: Like Loading...
