Scout Sweater Knitting Pattern, PDF instant download Here at Tikki London I usually design patchwork sewing patterns, but I love knitting too! So, as this top-down "Scout" jumper turned out to be such a success, I thought it was a good idea to put pen to paper and share it. It's so hard to find a GOOD jumper pattern that includes all the measurements & graphs that one needs! There's no guesswork with this pattern, I have spent lots of time including everything needed. Details of the sample jumper: The Yarn: Kelbourne woolens, DK, colour 305 Moss Heather. The Sample Swatch: Sample swatch/gauge: 17sts / 25 rows / 10cm = 4” You can use any yarn for this pattern, as long as the sample swatch will be very similar to this size. All the lovely models in the photos are different sizes, these are the garment sizes they use: UK 10 to 16 = US 6 to 12 and they look amazing in the very same jumper. Based on this I would therefore suggest that the best fit is for UK 12-14 (= US 8-10). Finished garment measurements when flat, before any blocking, so there will be further ease after blocking: Chest circumference 100cm (39”) Length from neck to hem 62.5cm (25”) Length from armpit to hem 45cm (18”) Sleeve length from neck to hem 64.5cm (25”) The Needles: This yarn calls for 3.75mm to 4.5mm needles, 20 to 22sts for 10cm (4”), but I used these sizes: 1 x 5mm circular, 80cm for body 1 x 4mm circular, 80cm for hem 2 x 5mm circular, 40cm for sleeves (or 1 if waiting stitches are put on a yarn) 5 x 3.5mm DPNs for sleeve cuffs PLEASE NOTE: The graphs & text in this pattern is in METRIC measurements, but I have included inches in some places for those who are more used to imperial measurements. * This is a DIGITAL print-at-home PDF Knitting Pattern.

Many knitting patterns have you pick up a specific number of stitches for button bands or other edges/facings.

Seaming. Some people love it (ME!), some people hate it. I truly believe that properly seaming a finished piece of knitting makes the difference between “hand made” and “home made.” I also believe that once you know how, seaming is actually quite easy and rewarding. Seaming also adds a multitude of benefits to your kni

2022 Collaboration Collection: Kelbourne Woolens x Manos del Uruguay Our friends at Fairmount Fibers / Manos del Uruguay introduced a new bulky-weight wool, Cardo, at the same time as we did Germantown Bulky, and, conveniently, both can be knit at the same gauge. We joined forces and designed 6 garments, and knit each in both yarns. The result is a wardrobe of sweaters and a renewed commitment to the principle of collaboration. Lamarr proves that a quick-knitting gauge doesn’t have to mean a heavy garment. Germantown Bulky and Cardo stay drapey and soft in this cuff-to-cuff dolman pullover.Available as a PDF download.

The Design “A light, lofty, cozy classic!” The Ribbed Watch Cap is a favorite Churchmouse Classic. The single rib texture exudes equal parts sailor savvy and skateboard cool! The tubular cast-on is nice and comfy and the nifty, mitred decreases make for a neat finish. And with a nice, deep cuff, it’s especially cozy! We’ve knit this version of our classic watch cap in Kelbourne Woolens Cricket. This single-ply, authentic Irish tweed yarn is spun in County Donegal, Ireland, from 100% merino wool. A versatile, woolly, tweedy classic, Cricket makes the ribs of this cap crisp, lightweight, and springy—lucky indeed is the wearer!

Knitting kit for “Fine Lines” pullover sweater by Lori Versaci. NWT (yarn has been wound for you!) Includes: Pattern Kelbourne Woolens Mojave yarn (in the colorway pictured on the right): 4 skeins #883 Coral 1 each of #333 Seafoam, 402 Prussian, #025 Slate Gray Mojave is sport weight, 60% Cotton 40% Cellulose - Linen / Flax, perfect for a summer sweater. There’s enough yarn to knit all sizes of the cropped version, waist length up to 46 3/4” bust, and hip length up to 42” bust. Introducing FINE LINES, a happy, fun play with color and ribbing that takes me back to Twiggy and summers in the late 60’s when everyone was wearing ribbed tops called “Poor Boys”! FINE LINES takes this retro look and gives it a modern flare with the wonderful color palate of Kelbourne Woolens’ yarns. I played with more nautical tones and then a blast of bright colors, but I am thinking that a set of neutral colors would be quite stunning, as well! Knit all in-one-piece from the top-down, FINE LINES uses an unusual construction, adding extra length on the BACK sts, so that there is no need for short-rows along the neckline. This is the second time that I have used this method (first used on PLAYTIME), it is a technique that I picked up from a Japanese pattern many years ago. As a result, the BACK striping is somewhat different from the FRONT, which adds a bit more fun to the pullover! In addition to the fun stripes and distinctive ribbed texture, the pullover also has an interesting bust dart detail that adds a bit more ease in the front over the bust. FINE LINES knits up equally well in wool (I used Kelbourne Woolens Andorra) or cotton/linen (shown also in Kelbourne Woolens Mojave) and can be customized to one of 3 lengths — cropped, waist length or hip length. And sleeve lengths are varied accordingly! And a bit of a change in sizing: Because of the construction, I am offering 11 sizes with approximately 2 ½“ difference between each size. When picking your size, realize that this is a ribbed piece and will pull in a bit (or really, you need to slightly stretch your fabric to determine gauge)! I decided to knit myself a size 4 (so the full 4” of positive ease), but I have been known to wear the size 3 hip length one for a more fitted look!
