Hasta Mitts - Free Pattern August 20, 2022 15:21
Hasta Mitts
The Hasta Mitts are knit from the fingers to the wrist, beginning with Seed stitch. Stitches are cast on for the thumb gusset, then the thumb gusset is shaped by increasing at the center of the thumb cast-on sts and decreasing on the opposite side of the mitt. Slowly the Seed stitch is decreased and the increased stitches are worked in Stockinette stitch until all the stitches are in Stockinette stitch. There are some short rows worked at the lower edge to make the lower edge straight across. These can be omitted for a diagonal edge.

Wabi Sabi Mitts
Handspun yarn often comes in a single hank—one of a kind, and just waiting to be made into a small treasure. These Wabi-Sabi Mitts were designed for a single hank of handspun yarn. The model mitts use approximately 94 yards, but the pattern is written so more or less could be used.
River of Life Socks - Free Pattern April 29, 2022 11:43
River of Life Socks
This stitch pattern is one of my favorites. The way it is made—by increasing stitches at the edges, then decreasing them in the center—reminds me of how everything in life comes and goes—birth and death—and that the cycle is continuous and always beginning and ending at the same time. This technique, combined with knit and purl stitches creates a beautiful wave-like effect, and together with the blue yarn it reminds me of a flowing river—thus we have, the river of life—in sock form.

This simple summer top is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round to the armholes, then the back and front are divided. The back and front are worked separately, briefly for some armhole shaping and short-rows. Then stitches are cast on over the arms, and the yoke is worked in the round to the neckline, decreasing along the way. The simple stockinette works up fast and easy, then the broken rib yoke keeps it interesting until the end. |
