Looking for a pattern that looks fabulous, blasts your stash and can be adaptable for other creative uses? Then today's your lucky day! This Missoni-esque pattern lends itself to many uses. The key to a successful outcome is to make sure you use yarns that are all the same weight and a needle that corresponds with it. Hand-dyes and multis give the pattern even more interest! Cast on with an even number of stitches and change the yarn color every row. My next application for this easy and wonderful pattern is a blanket. While in Lake Como this summer I visited a Missoni boutique in Bellagio and found a lovely throw using this type of woven stitch. Missoni priced theirs upwards of $900 Euros. Mine will be made from a closet full of stash. Love it!

Autumn is in the air and that always makes us think of snuggling up with a loved one, especially in front of a crackling fire...This is a simple pattern that has a JCrew feel and an interesting design element to it. We recommend Berocco Vintage for this pattern but really, any worsted weight, washable yarn will work. The pattern is sized for a baby blanket, but the simple 12 stitch square pattern repeat makes it easily adaptable to any size. Soft, squishy and a classic knit. Have fun! FINISHED SIZE: 30 by 24 inches GAUGE: 17 sts and 32 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch MATERIALS: 4 skeins Berocco Vintage and size 8 needles (we used a 24" circular) DIRECTIONS: CO 132 sts. ROWS 1-16: Knit. BEGIN SQUARE PATTERN: ROW 1 (RS): Knit. ROW 2 (WS): Knit 8, (Purl 8, Knit 4) 9 times, Purl 8, Knit 8. ROWS 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11: Repeat Row 1. ROWS 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12: Repeat Row 2. ROWS 13-18: Knit. Repeat pattern (Rows 1-18) 11 times more. Repeat Rows 1-12 once more. Knit 16 rows for border. Bind off, and weave loose ends to wrong side of work and block to size. We have a terrific selection of Vintage and Plymouth Encore in stores now. If you choose to make this pattern using a hand-dye, be sure to interchange two balls throughout the pattern to avoid color pooling and to meld dye lots.

Nicole Leybourne’s designer jumpers are so sought after, she’s had to hire a team of knitters across the country. Words: Nicole Barratt Just months ago, a girl from New Zealand found herself on the 25th floor of Vogue’s offices, “a sweaty mess” in her handmade chunky knit jumper. She was clutching a rack of woolly garments and fanning herself in New York’s heat, when Anna Wintour stepped out of a lift, and Grace Coddington stepped in.

This is one lovely and versatile pattern that works beautifully on any hand-dyed or spaced-dyed yarn. As you can see from the picture, the front is as pretty as the back of the work too. We used Malabrigo in the colorway Snowbird to create the lovely scarf pictured in red to the right; but really, the pattern lends itself for baby blankets, shawls or even sweater knitting. Prism, Schaefer, and Lorna's Laces all produce ideal yarns for this. Simply follow the pattern exactly as it's written and if you choose to enlarge it, simply use a multiple of 6 with 3 selvedge stitches on both the beginning and end of the needle side to create a sleek border. Thanks to our friend Linda for the pattern and Enjoy! MALABRIGO LADDERED SLIP STITCH SCARF Two skeins (218 yards) Malabrigo Worsted—sample shown in Snowbird Size 9 needles Cast on 30 sts then follow pattern exactly. Row 1 (RS): K3, *Sl3 purlwise WITH YARN IN FRONT, K3* to last 3 sts, Sl3 pwise WITH YARN IN FRONT. (Please note that all slip stitches should always be slipped purlwise, with yarn in front; this will be referred to as just “Sl” in the rest of the pattern. Row 2 (WS): K3, *P2, K3, P1* to last 3 sts, Sl3. Row 3: K3, *K1, Sl3, K2* to last 3 sts, Sl3. Row 4: K3, *P1, K3, P2* to last 3 sts, Sl3. Row 5: K3, *K2, Sl3, K1* to last 3 sts, Sl3. Row 6: K3, *K3, P3* to last 3 sts, Sl3. Row 7: K3, *K3, Sl3* to last 3 sts, Sl3. Row 8: K3, *K2, P3, K1* to last 3 sts, Sl3. Row 9: K3, *Sl1, K3, Sl2* to last 3 sts, Sl3. Row 10: K3, *K1, P3, K2* to last 3 sts, Sl3. Row 11: K3, *Sl2, K3, Sl1* to last 3 sts, Sl3. Row 12: K3, *P3, K3* to last 3 stitches, Sl3. Knitting the first 3 stitches and slipping the last 3 stitches with yarn in front on every row will create smooth selvage. Repeat until desired length & bind off. Weave in ends and gently block.

It takes plenty of smarts to be a knit-wit and these 15 crafty creations prove those who wield the needles are anything but woolly-minded.

Here, we're teaching you how to knit with circular needles. We include the most common techniques used when knitting in the round and some mistakes people typically run into with this style of knitting.

When I cast on for this top I was so in love with it. Almost immediately though, the s-l-o-w 4ply rounds almost did my head in. It was saved by a Big Knitting Day at Inner City Guild which included a train trip - where I was able to get a good many straight hours into it and feel like I was making some headway into the body. The divide for the sleeves came at a time where I was still 'in like' with it. Strangely, the yoke section seemed to take longer than the entire body section, no more knitting in the round. 'In like' was moving on to 'goodnatured tolerance'. Measuring the correct depth of the armholes was a little tricky, because one side has a buttonband which means that you don't knit the two the same depth. By this stage I was no longer feeling the love. And then, just when I thought I was on the home stretch, there was 18cm of ribbing for the collar. I plugged away; cursing, twitterwhingeing, stretching it to measure and wishing the days away. In the end, I succumbed to the Yarn Harlot theory of rib (which Kylie told me of) - I knit until I could not stand it any longer, and that's how I knew it was long enough. At this stage I was not in love with the top any longer. However, since blocking and pressing and trying it on, it's growing on me again. I am particularly pleased with the three needle bind-off shoulder, and the poker straight sewn on buttonhole placket on the sleeve. So now we're heading into MARCH (does time speed up when you're over 40 or what?) - where I will knit nothing but accessories. I'm urgently in need of some no-brainer knitting.

Barry has sent us about 20 boxes of fabulous, new Trendsetter Yarns that will add sparkle and shine to everyone's life!! His designs are fresh, fun, ruffly, bedazzled, colorful and easy to knit! Choose from a new twist to the Classic Chanel Jacket to a Latin-inspired self-ruffling Flamenco wrap. There's something for everyone! If you happen to be in Boca on Thursday night, join us for a cocktail reception and hors d'oeuvres from 6 to 7:30. Enjoy the free pattern for the mitered scarf pictured here! This a a fun pattern designed and written by Karen Baumer. Instructions (uses 3 balls of Tonalita on size 9 needles) Cast on 1 st. Row 1: Inc into stitch (2 sts) Row 2: Inc into first stitch, K to end. (3 sts) Repeat Row 2 until one side edge of your triangle (i.e., not the “live” edge on the needle) is as wide as you want your scarf. About 5” is good, but skinnier or wider works too—it’s up to you. Now start your short row sections: Short Row Section: Row 1: Inc, SSK (or SKP throughout, your choice), turn. Row 2 and all even-numbered rows: Knit Row 3: Inc, K1, SSK, turn. Row 5: Inc, K2, SSK, turn. Row 7: Inc, K3, SSK, turn. Continue in this manner, increasing by one stitch in every odd-numbered row between the inc and the SSK (you won't actually need to count because you will always be SSK-ing the two stitches on either side of the gap that forms from your turn on the previous row). Work until you've SSK-ed the last two stitches of the row. Next Row: start over at Row 1 of the Short Row Section. Continue working Short Row Sections until your scarf is almost as long as you want it. Once you have completed your final Short Row Section, proceed as follows-- Decrease Row: SKP, K to end. Repeat Decrease Row (i.e., decrease at start of *every* row) until you have one stitch left. Snip yarn and bind off stitch. Weave in ends and add fringe, if desired For the last Triangle: Work as with previous triangles until 1/2 of the stitches are on the right needle and 1/2 of the stitches remain on the left needle. Instead of starting each garter stitch ridge with an increase, start the ridge with a decrease (i.e., K1, k2tog). Continue to work the decrease in the "middle" of the row as before, and after making this second decrease, both needles will have the same number of sts. When 6 sts remain, work as follows: K1, K3tog, turn, k2 k3tog, turn, k1 K2tog, cut yarn & pull through last remaining loop. ABBREVIATIONS Inc = knit into front and back of stitch SSK = slip next two stitches individually as if to knit, put tip of left needle into slipped stitches and knit them together SKP = slip one as if to knit, K1, pass slipped stitch over
