Learn How to Make Denim Yarn from Old Jeans - Upcycle your old jeans into yarn you can use for knitting or crochet! Step by step tutorial.
The Scotty Sweater is knit from the top down in stockinette stitch holding one strand of Spinni and two strands of Silk Mohair together. You can substitute for another yarn or yarn combination that gives the same gauge, but keep in mind that the fabric characteristics may vary. You will begin by knitting the top back, then the shoulders, the front, and then the body of the sweater. Next, you will pick up stitches along the armholes for working the set-in sleeves using short rows. The neckband is knit in rib from picked-up stitches along the neckline and is folded over for a double collar. The Scotty Sweater requires almost no finishing, except for sewing down the folded neckband and the cuffs at the sleeves. The decorative lines for the characteristic pattern on the Scotty Sweater are embroidered at the end using duplicate stitches. Size guide The Scotty Sweater is meant to be worn with a positive ease of approx. 10 cm at the bust. This intended positive ease is built into the pattern. Therefore, the sizes XS (S) M (L) XL correspond to a bust measurement of approx. 85 (90) 95 (100) 110 cm. Please measure yourself before casting on to estimate which size will fit you best. For example, if your bust circumference is 90 cm, you should knit a size S that has a bust measurement of 99 cm. If you are between sizes, pick the smaller size. The model in the picture has a bust circumference of 85 cm and is wearing a size XS sweater. Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL Bust circumference: 94 (99) 103 (113) 122 cm Total length: Measured mid back including neckband:56 (58) 60 (64) 66 cm Sleeve length: 46 (47) 48 (49) 50 cm Armhole height: 22 (23) 24 (25) 26 cm Upper arm circumference: 33 (34) 35 (37,5) 40 cm Gauge: 17 sts x 24 rows in stockinette stitch on 5 mm needles = 10 x 10 cm Suggested needle sizes: Circular needles: 4 mm, 4.5 mm, and 5 mm / 40 cm 4.5 mm and 5 mm / 80-100 cm Double pointed needles: 4.5 mm (unless you are using the Magic Loop technique) Materials: 150 (150) 150 (150) 200 g Spinni from Isager Yarn (50 g = 300 m) held together with 175 (200) 200 (225) 250 g Silk Mohair from Isager Yarn (25 g = 212 m) thin elastic band for the neckband; leftovers of the same yarn for embroidery in desired colours Difficulty: ★ ★ ★ ★ (4 out of 5) See the classification of difficulty here.

The Weekend Slipover is worked from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth with the shoulder slope shaped using short rows. Then, each shoulder is worked separately and joined to form the front yoke. Front and back yoke are then joined to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle to the hem. The ribbed neck edge and armhole edges are worked at the end, and the latter are worked with decreases at the armhole. Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Size guide The Weekend slipover is designed to have approx. 20-25 cm [7¾-9¾ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 20-25 cm [7¾-9¾ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size to knit. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S slipover has a bust circumference of 112 cm [44 inches], which in the given example would give you 22 cm [8½ inches] of positive ease. The model in the photos is wearing a size XS and has a bust circumference of 82 cm [32¼ inches] and is 164 cm [approx. 5 feet 4 inches] tall. Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL Bust circumference: 107 (112) 117 (123) 131 (141) 151 (160) 171 cm [42¼ (44) 46 (48½) 51½ (55½) 59½ (63) 67 inches] Length: 58 (59) 60 (61) 62 (63) 64 (65) 66 cm [22¾ (23¼) 23½ (24) 24½ (24¾) 25¼ (25½) 26 inches] (measured mid back excl. neck edge) Gauge: 15 sts x 20 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 5.5 mm [US9] needles after wash and blocking Needles: Circular needles: 5.5 mm [US9] / 60 and 80 and/or 100 cm [24 and 32 and/or 40 inches], 5 mm [US8] / 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 inches] and 4.5 mm [US7] / 40 cm [16 inches] Materials: 400 (400) 400 (400) 400 (400) 500 (500) 500 g Håndværksgarn by Hjelholts Uldspinderi (100 g = 200 m [219 yds]) held together with 75 (75) 75 (75) 100 (100) 125 (125) 125 g Soft Silk Mohair by Knitting For Olive (25 g = 212 m [232 yds]) or Silk Mohair fra Isager Yarn (25 g = 212 m [232 yds]) Difficulty: ★ ★ ★ (3 out of 5) See the classification of difficulty here.

This month I've been covering hand embroidery knot stitches on StitchFloral. And although initially, I was going to talk only about basics, in the end, I couldn't stop myself from telling about the Chinese knot. Yeah, this mysterious guy which is often referred to as “Forbidden stitch”;) Actually, it is not that complicated to stitch. But as it's hardly ever included in the list of basic stitches and you can barely find it in stitch encyclopedias, I decided to make it the first one in the series “Upgrade your embroidery”. Chinese knot has many other names, among which Forbidden stitch and Peking knot are probably the most popular. I remember the moment I stumbled upon the name “Forbidden stitch” and being instantly attracted to it – the Chinese knew how to “sell” their special embroidery technique ;) It took me a while to find more information on it and learn how to work it. Neither of diagrams that I found on the web helped me personally, so in my case, I had to figure it out myself by trial and error. However, this stitch is really fun, so I feel like it would be a waste not to share it here! Let's see how to stitch Chinese knot. First, bring your needle up on the top of the fabric. Then you need to make a loop. This is a bit tricky, so please pay attention to the position of thread on the pictures below. Put the thread on top of your index finger and make one wrap by pulling the thread under the finger. Next, as you turn your finger to the left side and put on fabric, you leave a loop on its surface. You might be able to make this loop without the help of a finger, but I find this method easier. When the loop is ready, insert the needle at the same point where it first emerged from the backside, so that it is inside of the loop. Now, here's where the options are available and you can decide on which look you want your Chinese knot to have. If you tighten the twist a little by pulling the free tail of the thread and then pull the needle down through the fabric, you might get a knot like this. It is a closed, compact knot which resembles french and colonial knots from the distance, except that it is flatter. Or you can leave the loop a bit loose and in this case, your knot might actually take a form of a ring. The shape and size of the ring depend on how loose the loop is before you anchor it with a stitch. If you look up ancient Chinese embroideries with the Forbidden stitch, you might notice that it is used there as rings quite often. Needle workers used this stitch as a filling to cover certain areas of their embroideries. Worked closely to each other, Chinese knots in the form of rings give a fascinating, textured surface to embroidery. However, it is quite difficult to master the consistency of the “ring” shape. That's why currently this stitch is more often used in the following manner: When you work Chinese knots with 2-3 strands of thread in the needle and make the loops loose enough, it has a fun “fluffy” look. And the great news is that you don't have to make it exactly the same. Slight variety only makes it more fun! This simplified version of Chinese knot can be used for embroidering foliage on trees, plants with a great number of tiny flowers, birds feathering, fur and so on. It can look especially nice when worked with variegated thread!
