Winslow Baby Sweater



 
 
 
 
 
The Winslow Baby sweater has the look of complicated stranded color work, but is in fact a very simple slip stitch pattern. Only one color is worked per row, so this is deceivingly easy.
Depending on what colors you choose, you can make this for a boy, girl or gender neutral.
This is knit in the round for the most part, seamless, and top down.
At some point this will be up sized to an adult sweater, because I love this so much, I want one in my size.
 
 
I love Madelinetosh merino light, they have such rich colors. I used Dahlia and Citrus.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Cheerful Fingerless Gloves


 
 
 
 
 
 
This is a simple fingerless glove pattern, but turns out fun and fancy by the uses of stripes
Knit in the round.
This is a fun pattern to use up all your sock bits, or buy a kit from Cashmere Junkie
 

Watercolor Koigu Socks


 
 
 
 
These are a great way to use up little bits of left over Koigu or other variegated sock yarn bits. The cuff is fun and then they make a great travel or tv watching project.These are a top down style sock with a lovely linen stitch cuff.
 
 

James or Jill Baby Sweater


 
I wanted a Pullover sweater that had some interest, but could still be for a boy or girl, a James or a Jill. So I designed this cute little sweater. This looks great with a striped bottom, a single yarn that is variegated or in a solid.
This is knit top down, in the round and seamless.
 

Cashmere Comfort pillow

This can be made with one skein of 8 ply cashmere, 100 yards. This is a small pillow that can be snuggled and will comfort if you are sad, have cancer, or are sick.
A kit is advaiable for sale at Cashmere junkie’s etsy store

Cashmere Comfort Pillow

 

·         Yarn- 100% Cashmere 8 ply Cashmere Junkie (other suggested yarns- Jade Sapphire 8 ply 100% Cashmere or Malabrigo Merino Worsted)

·         Project uses 1 full , 100 yard skein

·         Needle- size 6 (You want at least one or two needle smaller then yarn calls for to make a tighter weave to hold the stuffing)

·         Any stuffing you like, I used 100% bamboo, very soft.

Cast on 90 stitches using a provisional cast on. Leave a long tail (enough to graft the opening closed later)

Join in the round, be careful on to twist and knit until you have just enough to graft closed.

Kitchener graft the bottom, weave in end.  Then graft the top half way across. Stuff the body of the pillow. Finish grafting the top.  Weave in ends.

Mosaic Happy Fingerless Gloves

 
 
 
I love Madelinetosh Merino light and had all these colors and wanted some way to show them all off.
These are knit in the round, and are easier then they look. This would be a great pattern to learn stranded color work.
This is a fun pattern to use up all your sock bits, or buy a kit from Cashmere Junkie
The gloves would look great in a rainbow mix, only two colors for a checkered look, or a mix of random colors.
 


Koigu Linen Stitch Fingerless Gloves




 
 
 
 
These are a great way to use up your left over Koigu, so nothing ever goes to waste. Linen stitch blends any colors, so the limit is your imagination.
A very basic fingerless gloves, with a little fun added.
I have included 2 options for the hand edging and thumb, these can be simple or fancy, or as a matched pair.
 
 
 

Spring Floral Tee Baby Sweater


Spring Floral Tee is a fun feminine pullover sweater.
This turns out great in cotton, bamboo, anything washable and summery.
Top down and knit with out seams, this little tee is a fast knit.
A simple and easy to remember lace pattern.
I think this would look cute on any little girl.
This pattern is available in English and Italian (kindly translated by Barbara Ajroldi)

The Every Baby Sweater




It is so hard to find baby sweaters that can be either for a boy or girl and still interesting and special. With the right buttons and yarn color this can be made for a girl, boy, or for a shower gift for the parents that do not want to know the sex.
This looks great with a striped bottom, or a single yarn that is variegated
This cute little sweater is knit with out any seams, the yoke and body are knit flat and the sleeves in the round. The Every Baby Sweater is a top down sweater.
