I'm in serious stashbusting mode these days. As I'm packing up boxes of books, bags of clothes and wrapping my dishes in paper in preparation to move to a brand new apartment, I've had plenty of time to size up my rather ponderous stash of yarn. I've gotten rid of several paper bags full of yarn that I hadn't even thought of using for at least a year (I'd even moved some of it three times!) but I still feel a little bit embarrassed at just how many balls of Palette and Wool of the Andes Worsted I have kicking around in baskets and tucked under my futon. I just can't bring myself to part with even one more skein! So, between packing and cleaning I've been busily trying all sorts of new patterns, just to convert those balls of yarn into potential presents.

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to ride my bike down to my local farmers market and choose a flat with 6 boxes of my favorite berries - blueberries, raspberries, strawberries - and of course loganberries! When I finished my new dishcloth pattern, the bobbles resembled berries, especially in the bright Begonia pink of the Dishie color I chose. So I decided to call it the Loganberry Dishcloth.

Whiteowlcrochetco. Magnetic Hoodie Knitting Pattern The Magnetic Hoodie knitting pattern is my first complex-rated knitting pattern, but don’t let that scare you! Once you’ve mastered the new-to-you techniques everything will be smooth sailing, and you’ll have some new tools in your knitting toolbox for your next makes! This sweater is worked from the wristbands in to the shoulders, side-to-side instead of top-down or bottom-up. This means you’ll get your sleeves out of the way first! Woo! The criss-cross design also provides easy-access and coverage to nursing mothers, a feature raised by one of my amazing pattern testers. Techniques Note: video tutorials linked within pattern! Provisional Cast On (wristbands and sides of body). Note: Highly recommend provisional cast-on around a spare cord or silicon cord, or Judy's Magic Cast-on! Knitting in the round and flat Picking up stitches (sleeves and hood)  Increasing/Decreasing Binding off of stitches to decrease faster  Japanese Short Rows - fully described & photo tutorial provided I-Cord Edge  I-Cord Drawstring Grafting  Pattern Tester Feedback “This is hands-down the coolest project I’ve ever made. The construction is mind-blowing and I learned so many new techniques!” – Chris H., @slitheringstitch on Instagram   “I loved the unique construction of this piece because it kept me interested the whole time. Plus as a fat knitter, I could tell that the pattern was graded well when the wrists and sleeves fit me the same as the modelled photos shown in the images in the pattern. Mollie was a perfect test knitting host – very responsive to feedback and questions through the whole several-month-long testing period. Overall loved working on this sweater.” – Monica M., @Quarrelsomerhino on Instagram “This is a pattern with an unconventional construction which makes it perfectly challenging and interesting project. You will be able to test many techniques (casting over a spare cord, making an applied I-cord, Japanese short rows, picking up stitches, grafting), the pattern provides links to all of them and also includes loads of helpful tips. I found that the most challenging part was the hood. You might want to ensure your head is available and well rested when approaching the key steps, like when starting a new section of the project.

Introducing our newest yarns and pattern collections for late winter/early spring.

Welcome to the Knit Picks Classroom, where you can polish up your crafting education from the comfort of your own couch! Each month we will focus on a specific skill. This month you'll learn how to knit intarsia, which is a technique used when working with blocks of colour, so that you don’t have to carry the yarn across the back of the work.

I have a confession to make: I've never knit a sweater flat. The first sleeveless top that I made was in the round, and ever since I've never seen a compelling reason not to knit all of my sweaters that way. Oh, I certainly knit certain parts flat and sew them together, but with every sweater I've made there's always been an "in the round" component (whether it was written into the pattern or not). I see the benefits of circular construction to be numerous: For one, seeing it in "body form" helps me visualize if it looks the right size, and if I still have doubts, I can try it on. For two, I personally hate knitting flat. It's not that I dislike purling, it's all the turning back and forth. It breaks my rhythm, and I always end up with my yarn and needles a tangled mess. And finally, knitting in the round means I have that much less finishing work to do when I bind off the last stitch.

Discover the best sweater knitting patterns! These knit patterns were our most popular long sleeve pullovers, cozy jumpers, cardigans, short sleeve sweaters, and tees. A wonderful mix of old favorites and new handknit garment designs featuring everything from bulky yarns to fingering weight yarns - we guarantee you'll find your next knitting project here!
