Hopscotch Cowl

Hopscotch Cowl

This beautiful double wrap cowl is knit from end to end using DK/worsted weight yarn and 3.75 mm needles. Pattern has several different panels using knit and purl stitches. Last panel is worked to desired length. Pictured cowl is 12 inches wide by 62 inches around and knit with 600 meters of Butterfly Super 10 cotton. For best results, use a yarn with good stitch definition. Enjoy!

Groovy Cotton

Groovy in Butterfly Cotton

I’ve been on medical leave from work for the last two months. During my long recuperation period, I knit myself a cotton scarf using my Groovy design. I am just loving this scarf! I used 570 meters of Butterfly Super 10 cotton and 3.50mm needles. This scarf is just perfect for my return to work next week!

Minnie Sport Weight

Minnie using a sport weight yarn. I knit this scarf with approximately 500 meters Malabrigo Arroyo in Jupiter and 3.5mm needles.  Enjoy!

Minnie Sport Weight


Materials

500 meters sport weight yarn
3.50mm needles

Abbreviations:
CO = cast on
K = knit
St = stitch
S1 = slip one stitch
YO = yarn over needle
K2Tog = knit two stitches together

Notes
K7 times into next stitch = K into front, back, front, back, front, back, front of next stitch
Pass first 6 stitches over 7th = insert left needle into 6th stitch on right needle, lift over 7th st,
repeat with 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st st

Pattern
CO 14 stitches
Row 1: knit
Row 2: S1, K to last 2 sts, YO, K1, K7 times into next st
Row 3: K7, pass first 6 sts over 7th st, K to end
Row 4: S1, K to end
Row 5: K to end
Row 6: S1, K to end
Row 7: K to end
Repeat Rows 2 to 7 another 50 times. You have finished one-half of the scarf.

Next, work Rows 8 to 13:
Row 8: S1, K to last 3 sts, YO, K2Tog, K7 into next st
Row 9: K7, pass first 6 sts over 7th st, K to end
Row 10: S1, K to last 3 sts, K2Tog, K1
Row 11: K to end
Row 12: S1, K to end
Row 13: K to end

Repeat Rows 8 to 13 until there are 14 sts left, ending with Row 13. Work Rows 8 and Row 9 once more, cast off. Weave in yarn ends.

Blocking is suggested. I find that blocking garter stitch items opens up the stitches.

Happy Birthday, Minnie!

December 27, 2011

I designed my Minnie Scarf last December. I’ve knit up another one in semi-solid orange. I used one skein of Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock Heavy Weight and 5mm needles. Instead of casting on 5 stitches as indicated in the original pattern, I cast on 8 stitches. With one skein of this yarn, I was able to do 76 pattern repeats with very little yarn left. Oh, in case you are wondering, this color is called Muckity Muck!  The original pattern is here. Enjoy!

Minnie

I am working on another Minnie in a sport weight yarn using 3.5mm needles. I’ll post the pattern and some photos as soon as it is done!

Happy Birthday, Minnie!

Helvetica Scarf

Knit it two ways!

All you need is 350 meters of fingering/sock weight yarn and 4.5mm needles! This pattern uses garter and openwork stitches and is fast and easy! Just knit until you run of of yarn – fantastic stash buster. Blue scarf and orange scarf is the original Helvetica pattern. Magenta scarf has less open work, but is just as beautiful! You could use almost any weight yarn and slightly larger needles than you would normally use. Both patterns are included in your purchase. Enjoy!

My Groovy design and pattern is for a large scarf or shawl. Pictured spice shawl is knit with over 700 meters of Waterloo Huron Sport Weight. Pictured blue scarf is knit with 500 meters of Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend and 4.00mm needles. Pictured green shawl is knit with 600 meters of Madeline Tosh DK and 4.50mm needles. I would recommend 600 to 900 meters of yarn for a shawl. The shape is a balanced triangle. It has deep ribbing and one jagged edge. Start at one end and continue knitting until you run out of yarn! Enjoy!
