With the colder weather well and truly being upon us, we wanted to share some of our favourite warm knitting patterns. With expertise levels ranging from beginner to expert, there's something for a everyone!
Beginner Patterns
DAPHNE KNIT SWEATER The Daphne Sweater features a simple, 2 row repeat lace. It allows for a quick, easy to learn (and to replicate) lace texture that is sure to look fab.
FLUFFY SWEATER KNIT PATTERN The Esme sweater is an easy beginner friendly fluffy sweater. Panels are knit holding 3 strands of yarn together to create a gorgeous marbled colour. It has wide sleeves with a tight cuff and a very easy V neck.
EASY CLOUD PONCHO This pattern is great for beginners, as all you need to know is how to cast on and off, the knit stitch, and how to sew up your finished piece.
Advanced Beginner
LEVI'S JUMPSUIT This Jumpsuit is knitted from the ankles to the shoulders. The knit two purl two ribbing at the front and the back is a design element. The front ribbing has three decorative buttons. Since babies come in different sizes and shapes there are two elements to adjust the jumpsuit.
BEIRT ARAN BEANIE The cabling pattern is not overly complicated; working a 8 stitch repeat. The finished hat is seamless, so minimal finishing is required!
CABLE GLOVES The pattern is easy, with very easy cabling. Knitted on two needles and sewn up, with a thumb hole feature.
Intermediate
AURORA BLUE Stitches used in this pattern include knit, purl, yo, kfb, skp, k2tog, and a centered double decrease. This pattern is therefore suitable for the intermediate knitter.
RAAKEL TEE The Raakel Tee is worked top down in stockinette stitch in the round in one piece with raglan increases. It has wide bat wing sleeves that can be worked in 2 different lengths.
SUMMARY SHAWL Start with just 4 stitches, adding wider and wider rows that form a long and narrow asymmetric triangle. This pattern is also very flexible: A small amount of yarn will create a small neckerchief, and a 450-yard skein will create a sizable shawl.
Expert
VILLMA SLIPOVER Villma Slipover is worked seamlessly top down. The slipover is worked back and forth, while the shoulders are shaped with short rows. The front and back piece are then closed to the round and the body is worked top down in the round.
MIRIAM CAROLE PONCHO This poncho mostly requires a stockinette stitch but has enough detail to keep the knitting interesting while remaining an enjoyable knit. Poncho is knit bottom-up in a single rectangular piece with no provisional cast-on, no cable needle, no rearranging stitches, no grafting and no sewing.
EUCRYPHIA CARDIGAN This is a pattern for a top down knit cardigan with a circular yoke. The cardigan is worked in the round with a bit of short row shaping at the neck, a steek, and using the stranded colour work technique.
