Kahlua is a cozy cardigan featuring simple texture, rib, and cable detail in a gorgeous, squishy yarn. The kniting is easy, but it’s how the elements are paired that makes the design interesting. The bold lines and texture are perfect to showcase the lovely halo and subtle heather of this gorgeous, cozy Hinterland Range yarn. Range is a wonderfully soft, round fiber with just a touch of drape to it, made from 50% Alpaca from Hinterland’s own farm and 50% Canadian Rambouillet wool, sourced up in Canada. Transitions between garter stitch, reverse stockinette, and single ribs play off each other distinctly, and bold braids along each side of the body contrast with the textures happening around them. The sweater fronts are worked around the shoulders to create a beautiful, slouchy collar that results in horizontal lines that play off the vertical detail on the body. It’s all quite easy, but purposefully placed to work together. A short length and boxy fit also keep this modern and fun, but it’s easy to modify for length or width if desired and notes are in the pattern. Construction: Kahlua is worked from the bottom up. Body is worked flat and sleeves are knit in the round. Pieces are joined at the yoke and shaped seamlessly to shoulders. Once body is complete, the fronts are continued and joined at center back to create the collar. Sizes: 34.5(38.25,42.5,45.25)(48.5,51.5,55.25)“/87.5 (97.25,108,115)(123.25,131,140.25)cm Measurements reflect circumference around bust, worn closed and are based on final fabric. For fit as shown, I suggest choosing the size that allows for about 4”/10cm positive ease, based on your actual bust. Yardage by Size: 1000(1150,1250,1350)(1450,1600,1750)yds/ 915(1060,1145,1235)(1325,1465,1600)meters Hinterland Range is a farm yarn, and therefore supply is limited.

After binding-off this piece, you pick up sts from one side and knit shoulders bottom up.

Anisah is a contemporary shawl featuring a textured cable and lace panel surrounded by classic garter stitch. The asymmetrical triangular shaping begins with just a few stitches which then flow into a wide panel composed of a graceful cable flanked by mesh lace. While that panel forms the left edge of the shawl, the remainder of the body is filled with squishy garter goodness. The combination of lace, cables, reverse stockinette and garter stitch knitted in worsted weight makes the texture of all the various design elements really pop. I love to design shawls which are especially appropriate for social knitting. Anisah has no pattern repeats, has a simple 8-row chart repeat, and once you get past the early charts which set up the wide panel and body, you’ll have everything memorized in no time. I named the shawl Anisah—which is an Arabic name meaning “good friend”—as a nod to the wonderful friendships that result from knitters bonding over a shared love of our craft. Anisah is also an excellent pattern for adventuresome beginners to try their hand at simple lace, cables and triangular shaping. Plus it’s a fun and fast knit for more experienced knitters looking for a relaxing TV knit. Worked in worsted weight, it knits up in no time even at the generous pattern size. So you still have time to knock one out for warm and snuggly holiday gifting this year! The Anisah pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of who you prefer not to use charts. While dimensions and yardage are provided for worsted weight, Anisah could effectively be worked in other yarn weights, although sport weight or heavier is recommended to show off the texture to its best advantage. Also included are detailed blocking instructions. SIZE AND YARDAGE: My lilac sample shawl pictured used about 540 yards (494 m) and measures 63 x 27” (160 x 69 cm) relaxed after blocking. Test knitted shawls used between 540-590 yards (494-540 m) on US Size 8 (5.0 mm) needles. Note that the US Size 10 (6.0 mm) is used for the bind off only. The size is easy to customize by changing the number of Chart 4 repeats; full instructions are provided, including how to calculate stitch counts for any size. The yellow green shawl (worked in Hazel Knits Cadence, “Sedge” colorway) and the deep aqua (worked in Hazel Knits Cadence, “Laguna” colorway) are slightly larger versions, both having 2 extra repeats of Chart 4 for a total of 28 repeats. Both of these versions used about 600 yards (549 m).
Coco Chanel, a renowned fashion icon of her time, once wisely remarked, ’Dress shabbily, and they remember the dress; dress impeccably, and they remember the woman.’ This statement carries with it a timeless truth that resonates through the ages. It’s difficult to contest her insight because clothing plays a pivotal role in shaping our image and how we are perceived by others. In a world where first impressions are often the only chance we get to make, our choice of attire becomes a potent tool for self-expression and communication.The significance of clothing in our lives goes beyond mere aesthetics; it’s a reflection of our personality, values, and even our mood. Each outfit we choose has the power to convey a different facet of ourselves, whether it’s the confidence exuded by a perfectly tailored suit, the comfort of well-worn jeans, or the elegance of a classic black dress. Our clothing choices can speak volumes before we utter a single word.

Why you should switch to family cloth! Family cloth gives a slightly gross mental image. Most people hear it and think it's one cloth that is shared by the whole family. Ummm... no. Thankfully that is not what family cloth is! Family Cloth. What is it? Have you heard of this? If you haven't heard of family cloth before, don't worry. Not many have.

Sipila is now size inclusive! Please enjoy 30% off this pattern to celebrate the upgrade using code SIPILA, valid through 3/30/23. Thank you! Sipila is a Mother’s Day gift, firstly for my own mom, who taught me how to make my own clothes and knits all my patterns, just because! The name Sipila is my Finnish grandmother’s maiden name, and I named it for her in honor of all the wonderful mothers, grandmothers, daughters and in our lives. Thank you, Mom! Yarn kits will be available from both of the indie dyers who provided yarn support for this project, Olann and House of A La Mode , please check their sites for details! NOTES! Sipila is knit from the top down in the round. There are options for either long or short sleeves included in the pattern; make sure you check the suggested yardage for the version you prefer, as the long sleeve version will require more yardage. The body length is easily customizable, but changing it will also affect the yardage, so please keep that in mind. If you are using hand painted or speckled yarn, it is highly recommended to alternate skeins for the main color (C1) to avoid noticeable color blocks and/or pooling. The contrast color (C2) doesn’t need to be alternated. The gauge for this design is intentionally loose to create a drapey, lightweight fabric. MATERIALS Yarn 2 colors of fingering weight yarn, superwash singles are suggested. Short sleeve sample uses Olann Singles, 100% Superwash Merino 400 yards 366 m /100g C1: Dame (violet) C2: Love Vigilante (blush speckle) Long Sleeve sample uses House of A La Mode Fingering Single Ply, 100% Superwash Merino 400 yards 366 m /100g C1: Bunny (white) C2: Loon Lake (black multicolor) Yardage Short Sleeve: C1: 558 (627, 673, 731, 789, 869){949, 1027, 1117, 1245} yards 510 (573, 615, 668, 721, 794){867, 939, 1021, 1138} meters C2: 174 (196, 211, 229, 247, 272){297, 321, 349, 390} yards 159 (179, 193, 209, 226, 249){271, 293, 319, 356} meters Long Sleeve: C1: 824 (927, 983, 1052, 1143, 1253){1365, 1479, 1597, 1770} yards 753 (847, 899, 962, 1045, 1145){1248, 1352, 1460, 1618} meters C2: 310 (349, 370, 396, 430, 472){514, 557, 601, 666} yards 283 (319, 338, 362, 393, 431){470, 509, 549, 609} meters Needles: You will need the following needles in 24-40” 60-100 cm circulars, as well as shorter lengths or DPNs for the sleeves and neck if you prefer not to use the Magic Loop method for smaller circumferences. Main Needles: US 4 3.5 mm for the body and sleeves Ribbing Needles: US 2 2.75 mm (or 2 sizes smaller than the needles used to achieve main needle gauge) for collar, hem and cuffs Other Notions: Stitch markers, stitch holders (or scrap yarn), tapestry needle Gauge: 22 sts and 30 rounds over 4” 10 cm after blocking in both colorwork and stockinette. Swatch both colorwork and stockinette as you may need to change needle sizes to maintain an even gauge. You should always knit your swatch the same way that the pattern is knit —in this case, in the round. Block your swatch as you will your finished garment and allow it to dry fully before measuring. Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6){7, 8, 9, 10} Recommended ease: 10-14” 25.5-35.5 cm of positive ease at the bust and 2” 5 cm of positive ease at the upper arm. The gauge is intentionally loose to create a fabric that drapes nicely and flatters the body. As the sleeve has less ease than the body, it is important to choose a size that will comfortably fit around the upper arm. Sizes are given as numbers, check the measurements to determine the proper size for your sweater. See included schematic for full fit details. Sweaters shown are both size 3 on a 36” 91.5 cm bust with 10” 25.5 cm of positive ease. Finished bust circumference: 38.5 (42.5, 46, 50.25, 54.25, 58.25){62, 65, 68.25, 72}” 98 (108, 117, 127.5, 138, 148){157.5, 165, 173.5, 183} cm

The pattern contains two sizes of the Dreambird, one for women and another one for little girls. INCLUDED are TRADITIONAL row by row descriptions for both sizes and DIAGRAMS for those who prefer a visual approach. The OPTIONAL written instructions are meant for those of you who want explanations or are interested in how I approached the project. The step photos for the Minibird although different in numbers are also a support while you are in the knitting process. The different approaches work independently from each other; so if the wording bothers you just leave it aside. It is essential though to read the general part about short rows if you are not familiar with them. The coloring has been completely achieved by short rows. It is also possible to use all three approaches as a support. The English version has been tech edited by MHM . So if you are interested in the pattern don’t let yourself get confused by the first part of the former KAL or older notes on projects’ pages. They basically refer to times where there was neither a row by row description nor a diagram but only a written pattern. All issues should have been resolved. Das Muster ist für 2 Größen geschrieben, einen Erwachsenenschal und einen Kinderschal. Ich habe versucht, den Schwierigkeiten von Strickerinnen zu begegnen. So ist das Muster zwar im Prinzip eine Wortbeschreibung, aber Skizzen und ein Diagramm für die Strickrichtungen helfen, sich den Strickprozess vorzustellen. Es gibt auch eine Reihenbeschreibung für beide Größen und Fortschrittsfotos für den Minibird. Die Originalversion ist auf Deutsch. The French translation was made by Christine73 . The Dutch translation was made by Ima . The Swedish translation was made by Brittica The Danish translation was made by RieKrogh Errata for Danish translation, page 16, row by row: 71 luk de første 10m af, strik til enden, slå 25 nye m op (130) Spring over 01, og fortsæt med 02 Slut sidste fjer efter pind 28, og hækl en kant i fjergarn tilbage langs halskanten. The Italian translation was made by Lucietta85 The Finnish translation was made by HeidiKoo “Suomalaisessa ohjeessa, kohdassa Malli kerros kerrokselta, on virheitä muutamalla rivillä: Riveillä 5,7,9,11 ja 13 pitäisi lukea “K 45” (ei K 35) sekä rivillä 31 pitäisi lukea “Neulo loppuun (4 s)” (ei Neulo loppuun (3 s))” The rich coloring of birds is something wonderful and I felt I wanted to express this in knitting. I had the Kingfisher before my eyes when I did this but there are no limits of what you can do, hence the name Dreambird! Dreambird looks more complicated than it is. When you strictly follow the instructions for the first feather the following ones will be a walk in the park! The shaping is done by short rows and I explained everything in detail so that you don’t need to be an advanced knitter to knit this piece. As in the wingspan , the drive of the shawl is attained by offset triangles. Additional elements transform the triangles to feathers. Maylin, the creator of the Wingspan, authorized this version before I even started knitting. You can knit the feathers with a yarn of rather long color changes or use up your stash, it is up to you! The fluffy Kid Mohair in the background emphasizes the feathers.

The Sanduhr (hourglass) Tunic deduces its name from the pattern shape – it even shows a waistline if there is none :). The Sanduhr pattern is written for sizes S (36/38, US 8-10) to XL (48-52, US 20-24) with hints for making even larger sizes. It is knitted side to side with 6ply sock yarn. The general length is 83 cm, the middle tip is 96 cm long. The pattern evolves the Swing-Knitting™ Light Technique to create unique shapes by using short rows. Everything you need to knit the Sanduhr Tunic, is explained in detail in a separate PDF. The theoretical part not only explains the elements of the Swing-Knitting™ Light Technique in great detail step by step, but also a number of general knitting techniques that not everyone might know. The pattern consists of 3 PDFs – the Foreword, the Theory and the Sanduhr Tunic pattern! The Sanduhr Tunic is the first published pattern of the Magische Maschen Mode projects, my former book project that is now published as separate patterns and as a pattern collection e-Book. Read more about Magische Maschen Mode here: www.magischemaschen.blogspot.com ……………………………………………. Die Sanduhr Tunika hat ihren Namen durch die besondere Form bekommen – sie zeigt Taille, selbst wenn da keine ist :). Die Sanduhr Tunika ist in den Größen S (36/38, US 8-10) bis XL (48-52, US 20-24) beschrieben, mit Hinweisen für noch größere Größen. Sie wird aus 6fach-Sockenwolle quer gestrickt. Die Tunika ist 83 cm lang, der mittlere Zipfel 96 cm. Die Anleitung ist mit der Swing-Stricken™ Light Technik geschrieben, durch diese spezielle Anwendung von verkürzten Reihen entstehen die einzigartigen Formen. Alles, was du zum Stricken der Sanduhr wissen musst, ist in der separaten Technik-PDF beschrieben. Der Theorieteil erklärt nicht nur sehr ausführlich Schritt für Schritt die Elemente der Swing-Stricken™ Light Technik ausführlich, sondern auch allgemeine Stricktechniken, die vielleicht nicht jeder kennt. Die Anleitung besteht aus 3 Dateien: dem Vorwort, dem Theorieteil und der eigentlichen Anleitung für die Sanduhr Tunika! Die Sanduhr Tunika ist das erste veröffentlichte Design aus der Magische Maschen Mode Projektreihe. Das ist mein ehemaliges Buchprojekt, das jetzt als Einzelanleitungen und als PDF-Sammlung herauskommt. Mehr zu Magische Maschen Mode kannst du hier lesen: www.magischemaschen.blogspot.de
