Hej! Sezon na warkocze trwa! Jestem ciekawa, czy skorzystałyście ze schematu wzoru z warkoczem i kłoskiem, którego pokazałam Wam w poprzednim poście. Jeśli jeszcze go nie wypróbowałyście, czas wziąć się za druty :) W ostatnim poście zapowiadałam, że tym razem zaprezentuję Wam komin wykonany wzorem w małe warkocze i tak też robię :) Muszę przyznać, że to moja pierwsza robótka z małymi warkoczami, ale jestem z niej bardzo zadowolona. Komin wyszedł miły i ciepły, lecz nie sztywny. Jest jeszcze jeden powód, dla którego tak zachwalam ten wzór - genialnie sprawdza się na ciemnych włóczkach! Zazwyczaj mam problem z dobieraniem wzorów do ciemnych kolorów, ponieważ mam wrażenie, że są mało widoczne. Tym razem było odwrotnie, warkocze są wyraźne i pięknie prezentują się w ciemnej zieleni. Zobaczcie same: Jeśli chcecie wykorzystać ten wzór w swoich robótkach, poniżej zamieszczam jego schemat w formacie pdf i jpg do wyboru. Wypróbujcie go, naprawdę warto! Schemat w formacie jpg jest dostępny TUTAJ Schemat w formacie pdf jest dostępny TUTAJ Zbliżają się urodziny synka mojej koleżanki i na tę okazję postanowiłam wykonać coś wyjątkowego. Przeglądając internet, natknęłam się na wiele inspiracji. Po długich rozmyślaniach postanowiłam, że spróbuję stworzyć konika z imieniem. Ze względu na to, że bobasek jest jeszcze malutki i nie potrafi bawić się filcowymi pluszakami, zabawka będzie miała sznureczek do powieszenia, a pod konikiem wszyję literki układające się w imię dziecka. Do następnego! :)

A new PDF Knitting Pattern for an 'On Trend' Check Scarf. Written for two methods of make. This fabulous knitting pattern is designed for the new to knitting or the more experienced knitter. Knit in strips for the beginner. Intarsia knitting for the more experienced. If you've just learnt ‘How to Knit’, or can only knit garter stitch, knit every row, this knitting pattern for an ‘On Trend’ scarf is a perfect first project for you! Or, if, like us, you’re an accomplished knitter who enjoys a quick simple project. It’s a perfect pattern to occupy a few evenings in front of the tele! SIZE (ADJUSTABLE) Length: 188cm. 74in. Width: 37cm. 14½ in   MATERIALS Aran/Worsted Weight Yarn. 200 Grams – Light Grey. Yarn A. 200 Grams - Cream. Yarn B. 200 Grams - Dark Grey. Yarn C. 1 Pair 5mm (UK6-US8) Knitting Needles. 1 Tapestry Needle.

pattern uses US 4 (3.5 mm) and US 5 (3.75 mm) needles, or correct size needles to obtain gauge. It is important to block the hat sufficiently to get a slouchy look. If you would like your hat to be extra slouchy, you can add 4 pattern rows by working rows 21-24 of chart 1 before beginning chart 1 from row 1. If you are getting correct row gauge, your beret will measure approximately 6.5 inches from top of ribbing to top of crown (not including ribbing).

Note: there are 3 files - one for the Swedish version; one for the basic pattern in English and the variations in English. Be sure to open the file you want. Additonal info: - the pattern indicates that 40-50g of Kauni is used as the CC - that’s about 80-100m (90-110yds). The pattern was originally designed to highlight Kauni’s colours and get them to create waves straight from the skein -but this only works if you use the right gauge and make a small shawl. The pattern is available as the original accesssory-sized shawl (30 x 130cm - 12 x 50”) which is the size that works with the Kauni colour runs (see photo #3 for an idea of the size). There is a separate file for the variations, which includes: instructions for a larger shawl (see photo #2 for an idea of the size; for this you use MC ridges to get the Kauni to work straight from the skein) modifications for making contrast colour ridges another ridge variation which worked well with Noro yarns instructions for the no-ridges version ^^^^^^^^ Comment from one tester to another who was still working on the base: Rest now…cause when you start with those waves, you won’t want to stop for little things like food and sleep! ^^^^^^^ There are lots of notes in the pattern but they are just for guidance; as long as you know how to wrap and turn (or are willing to learn) this is a quick and easy knit. I hope you’ll have fun making it whichever version you choose. For the top section which will be next to the neck, I used super soft alpaca. The Kauni is kept on the bottom edge where: a) it can be seen better b) it can’t scratch you ! LightWaves is also available in Swedish - thanks to Malin for the Swedish version. Credit where it’s due - I first made waves like this using Rebecca Hatcher’s Wave Cowls pattern and Rowan Colourscape. The combination of the pattern and yarn was just perfect and such fun to knit. Ever since then I’ve been looking for a yarn that would have the right colour-run lengths to create a similar effect on a shawl. After I had made 4 projects with the Kauni, I realised that the runs would probably be about the right length. So I tried it and it worked, so I tried another, and that worked, so I got some testers to try it - and it worked again, and again. So on that basis I am publishing the pattern. I’m afraid I can’t give you any guarantees about the Kauni runs not changing in future, but there are lots of tips for how to try to make it work straight from the skein. Many thanks to the testers: malin (made 2) bfcallsmemartha (handspun) girliecurls (who had the no-ridges idea) googoo (sunset photos) cushing (larger version with contrast-colour ridges) sarahboirin (made 2) winterfi (Waterloo sunset) cellogirl2 (made 2) wireknitter (no ridges version) mainecoonmom (seperate colours for the waves) joharvey (who made a real rainbow) skyhooked (used Zauberball) litoja (made one in about 3 days) HeleenK (who did the math for the larger version - she’s a math teacher which came in very handy ! ♥ ) cdoertel (seperate skeins for the colours) darja (mc ridges)

This slouchy hat is a combination platter of different knitting techniques and construction methods. First, a fair isle strip is worked flat, but the yarn is cut after each row so you only have to do stranding on the knit side. Then, stockinette stitch with garter ridge stripes adds texture to the sideways body. Stitches are picked up in the round for the contrasting cabled brim with a rolled stockinette edge and the crown shaping also features cables in the round. The long cut ends from the fair isle strip are woven into the brim for a decorative look that also saves you from weaving each strand individually into the fabric.

Gather a selection of worsted and DK weight yarns for this top down brioche sweater dress. The neck features a biased section that continues into the yoke. A single increase continues into the sweater body for a flared asymmetrical shape. The sample shows a consistent white color B background mostly with Quince & Co Owl. Color A is a mixture of improvisational stripes in the foreground. You can even hold fingering weight yarns double for a bright accent color. Try on the top down dress as you knit to get the perfect sleeve and body length. Instructions are written using color A and color B. Color A is the foreground color (mint, beige, pink, highlighter yellow) and color B is the background color (mostly white in the body and yellow on the neck). The samples show a consistent color B background color while color A changes in the foreground with color blocks and stripes. Feel free to change colors whenever you like. Changing both colors A & B will create a more striped graphic fabric. Keeping one of the colors consistent will ground the fabric and give it an overall quality of lightness or darkness. Experiment and play with colors and fibers to maintain your interest while knitting this garment. Sizes S (M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL) Sample shown in size XL on a 41” / 104cm chest circumference.

This deceptively simple hooded cowl is worked almost entirely flat in garter stitch, which means minimal purling! The sample is worked in two colorways, but feel free to substitute more or less colors. A sleek round hood frames the face with structure. Choose a favorite yarn and allow this versatile cowl to armor you against the coming fall and winter chill. Finished Measurements 6″ / 15cm wide from CO to BO of cowl, 40″ / 102cm cowl circumference, 15″ / 38cm from CO to top of hood.

Another rectangle is knit to form the back and sides of the hood. The top of the hood is worked in the round, decreasing to form a spiral top. Finally, the brim is added by picking up stitches around the front edge of the hood. Short rows provide shaping to frame the face for a crisp finish.
