I'm the kind of person likes to get away from knitting a swatch if I possibly can. So I have come up with several methods for just starting a piece and knitting unti it fits. Hats are perfect for this kind of knitting, and here are four patterns that give you the freedom to "Just Go!"
Scarves are such a great knitting project. The only problem you can run into in knitting a scarf is in choosing a knitting stitch that curls in at the sides - thus giving you a tube to wear around your neck - rather than what you were wanting: a scarf! We have several great ideas in this set of knitting patterns for getting your scarf knitting days off to a good start.
Tip: Use a very soft yarn so the scarf does not scratch your neck.
Keep your feet toasty warm with knit and crocket slippers, or a set of leg warmers for the ankles. These projects are a must-have for the knitter's library.
These little knit and crochet dolls are the cutest things you've ever seen. Very fast projects to whip up in all that spare time using all those scraps of yarn hanging around the house.
They aren't knitting patterns, but they are very fun and creative. This set contains a series of doll patterns that are cut and sewn on the sewing machine. I designed mine all around handspun and woven material, but they can really be made from anything -- even old curtains.
Skill Level: Intermediate to Expert with many Variations.
If you love textured sweaters, this knitting pattern package is for you! Three scrumptious sweaters with cables and textures for that traditional Irish or Aran look.
