I am so happy that this strange time (as in, the pandemic) has lead more people to sewing. Sewing machines sold out this summer and fall after sewing interest soared, largely due to mask sewing. If you got a new machine to sew masks, welcome to the lovely world of sewing; keep going! If you dusted off… This post is only available to members.

A brief overview of how I go about making a zero waste pattern, illustrated with an example from the book Zero Waste Sewing.
Maybe it's because I haven't left the house in 14 days, maybe it's because there's a crazy world-wide pandemic out there but I just want to be COZY! That's where this Super Slouchy Sweater pattern came from. It was born out of that comfy, baggy sweater and sweat pants feeling. Even though this sweater is so oversized and slouchy, it won't take you forever to make! Using heavy worsted/aran weight yarn like Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran and a 6mm (US J) hook, this sweater works up surprisingly fast in half double crochet back loop stitches. The coolest part is the slip stitch, knit-look edge at the bottom and sleeve cuffs which will be a fun challenge to keep beginner to intermediate crocheters on their toes! Now, this sweater does call for about 1200 yards (1000 meters) of yarn so if you've got a bunch of beautiful worsted weight yarn in your stash, this might be the project to use it! When you purchase this listing, you get access to a downloadable PDF pattern containing: -a full list of required materials -finished project photos -a step by step written pattern explaining how to create this sweater in sizes small to 3XL -a helpful sizing diagram -options to work the sleeves flat or in the round There is no shipping charge for this item as it is a PDF file and will be sent out within 24 hours of payment.

The Sol Top is a classic tank top knitted in all over stocking stitch with folded trim straps. The simplicity of the shape and stitch allows for experimentation with yarns and colours. We have knitted ours with 2 colours held together to create a marled effect, and also experimented with a striped scrap yarn version. Knitted in one piece from the bottom up, the Sol Top is knitted in the round until reaching the armhole, then worked flat on half of the stitches to form the back and then the front. Stitches are picked up around the armholes and trims knitted in the round, casting off whilst folding the trim in half. This pattern provides easy to follow detailed instructions using the following techniques: Long tail cast on, knitting in the round, knitting flat, knit, purl, stocking stitch, decreasing, folded cast off, picking up stitches, cable cast on.
