Not an original idea, but a great one. Lots of lovely bloggers, including Wendy at The Vintage Pattern Files, post free knitting and sewing patterns. They are usually posted on a Friday, so who am I to argue? Here's my first free pattern for you: This was one of the first successful vintage jumpers I completed, back in 2004 (10 years ago already). I was seriously pleased with it. I didn't know much about tension then, and don't even think I tested it. The yarn I used was from The Handweavers Studio when it was still near me in Walthamstow. A soft merino, it came on little cones. The pattern called for a 2 ply - I still don't know the exact weight of the yarn. It came out very well, except it was far too short. I ended up having to pick up along the hem and adding some more ribbing. This is something I am aware of now - my long torso, and measuring the length before I start the armhole shaping. I think most knitters have to add length to vintage jumpers now - we're taller, and broader. You just have to look at the models in patterns from the 30s, and they were slight - narrow shoulders, small busts, slender hips, like this lady: I love that pose, and her regal face. The column is pretty awesome too. I modified the jumper, using the yoke of this pattern: I liked the effect so much, I knitted one in red. This time I added extra pattern repeats, giving a slightly more relaxed fit. I used Misti Alpaca lace. Here is another pic of me wearing it in a more 50s beatnik style with my Shellac Sisters, at a gig we did in South London somewhere. So that's my first free pattern, but not the last. I hope you like it.

[tabblock] [tab1: This stylish garment is knitted in separate pieces, which are each knitted from the bottom up. The vertically diminishing ribbing cleverly brings the pattern inward, creating a sun-ray effect. The raglan shaping creates a well-fitting neckline whilst continuing the rib pattern. The raglan sections of the sleeves and body pieces are joined together, then a circular needle is used to knit the neckband, creating the fiery tips of the rays encircling the collar bone and drawing the eye upwards. Sun-Ray Ribbing is knitted using [link: Susan Crawford Excelana North, fingering weight = /collections/excelana-4-ply :link] a 100% british wool, which is soft against the skin and also has great elasticity and definition, both of which are essential for this form-fitting, ribbed garment.

200 designs, I can’t believe it! The years have passed so quickly, I have had so much fun - and the knitting needles have not rested:) Number 200 had to be special, and I am really proud to present my summer-top. *Design and construction.** The main-feature of this top is the circular, lace-patterned yoke. The hems of the sleeves and the lower body are worked in pattern. The rounded neckline, the sleeves and lower body are finished off with an i-cord bind-off. The top is worked top-down and seamlessly. The lace-pattern might seem a bit elabortate, in fact it is simple and awarding to knit. Sizes Finished chest measurements, after washing/blocking, and worked at gauge: 77/85/93.5/102/110/120/132 cm = 30.5/33.5/37/40/43.5/47/52”. Materials Yarn: I recommend that you use a fingering weight, that knits up to gauge, to work the top. I used “Lin” from Järbo garn to work the top. This fingering weight, linen yarn comes in skeins of 100 gr/3.53 oz and 200 m/219 yards. You will need approximately 600/650/760/820/880/940/1000 m = 654/709/829/894/960/1025/1090 yards of this specific yarn to work the top. Needles: size 3 mm/US2.5, Gauge 24 sts and 32-34 rounds in stockinette sts, after blocking/washing = 10 x 10 cm/4 x 4”. Knitting skills Intermediate. Techniques used: provisonal cast-on (optional), short-rows, increases, i-cord bind-off. The pattern The pattern gives instructions for the provisional cast-on, the short-rows and the i-cord bind-off. The lace-pattern of the yoke is charted, as well as written out, round-by-round. The pattern of the hems is written out round-by-round. All stitch-counts are given. Measurements are given in cm’s as well as in inches. There is a schematic. Possible mods: As with all top-down sweaters you have the possibility of adding length to the sleeves and/or the body.

Vodka Lemonade is a springy sweater with a vintage vibe. Seed stitch and lace details add texture and a feminine touch, and the classic styling ensures that it will go with jeans and a tank just as easily as a sundress and sandals. As with all my top down cardigans, this is easy to modify for length or width, and instructions are given with tips and hints on how best to alter for your shape. The yarn requirements are given on the generous side so you may have some left over. Substitute yarns have been suggested. Remember to always check your gauge, especially if you are substituting yarn.
