Wrap yourself up to keep cozy as we head into fall and winter. This wrap is a fantastic project for newer knitters, and a great introduction to charts and patterns since the pattern always builds on the rows beneath it in a predictable way. Featuring the Cascade Yarns Aereo in Provence (just like the Harvest Poncho pattern also in this issue), this is one of our favorites for the new season.

When you find yourself wanting to move on from the knit-purl way of life, it might be time to try on one of these 5 fancy rib patterns!

The pattern comes with the short and the long version I use to call these type of sweaters ‘Collar with sleeves’ :) because I am here for a maximum warm neck … and a good shoulder fit of course The REBEL cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. Start working the collar separately. Then the back stitches are picked up from the collar and the upper back is shaped with increases. Stitches are then picked up from each side of the back to work the shoulders. All pieces are then joined to work the yoke with increases for the body and sleeves down to sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold, underarm sts are cast on, and you continue to work the body to the bottom. After the body is completed, the sleeve sts are worked top down in the round to the end. Beside of weaving in the ends, there is no further finishing required.

This luxurious throw is written for sizes to cover every member of the family – the smallest size is perfect for babies, while the largest size makes a beautiful bed-top coverlet. Be sure to follow the set of numbers within the parentheses that correspond to the size you will be knitting. The size of the finished throw can be adjusted further based on the number of repeats worked. To increase or decrease the finished width of your blanket, add or subtract sets of 18 stitches to/from your original cast-on number for working extra repeats of the Hourglass Lace bracketed motif. Length may be adjusted by adding or subtracting 32-stitch vertical repeats of the Hourglass Lace chart. Designer: Anne Hanson Collection: Wool People, Volume 1

Moorland is a symmetrical triangular shaped shawl. Starting with a garter tab cast on, it is worked top down using increases along the center and both sides of the shawl. Sizes: The pattern is written for 2 sizes worked over 7 (large) and 5 (medium) main body repeats, however you can easily modify the pattern and work more or less repeats to achieve your desired measurements.

Grodd, held double, 250 grams Yarn substitutions: Non-superwash, wooly yarn of approx. worsted weight is recommended for the pattern. If you decide to make the larger version, I would also recommend using lighter yarns (unspun, woolen spun, yarns with addition of mohair or brushed alpaca) to ensure that your shawl is not too heavy Yardage: 4 plates of Nutiden for larger shawl (7 main body repeats) 3 plates of Nutiden for medium shawl (5 main body repeats) OR Worsted weight yarn approx. 950 meters / 1039 yards for large size and 650 meters / 711 yards for medium size Please note that your final yarn consumption will depend on your yarn choice, gauge, the size of your finished shawl and any other alterations you might make to the pattern. Gauge: 14 sts / 26 rows per 10 cm / 4 inches in stockinette / garter flat after washing and light blocking This shawl can be worked at a variety of gauges, however please note that if you gauge is significantly different from the one specified in the pattern, it will affect the final size of your shawl and your yarn consumption. Needles: 5 mm (US 8 ) circular needles 80-120 cm 4 mm (G-6) crochet hook for the leaf stitch and bobbles Please note that needle size is just a suggestion, you might need to change the size of your needles to achieve gauge. Notions: Tapestry needle, measuring tape, 4 stitch markers, cable needle (optional), row counter, scissors. Techniques used: Garter tab cast on Knitting and purling flat Slipped stitches Knit increases 1/1 cables Yarn overs Crochet bobbles and leaves (explained in the pattern) 3-3 gathered stitch (explained in the pattern) Stretchy bind off
