jacket with moss stitch bands
This neat little cardigan has button and buttonhole bands that are worked in one piece with the fronts. This means that you do not have to pick up stitches along the front edges. As there is a shaped neckline, stitches do need to be picked up across the front bands, up the right side neck, across the back neck stitches and down the left front neck to work the neckband. The moss stitch borders on the hem of the cardigan sleeve cuffs and neckband are knitted on smaller needles to make a neater...
garter stitch scarf
The first project is a garter stitch scarf. Not only will this be probably the easiest piece you will ever knit, but you can relax and enjoy creating your first fabric while gaining grounding in the fundamentals of casting on and off, the knit stitch and tension. If you knit every stitch and every row it creates a reversible fabric called garter stitch. You can recognise it by the wavy horizontal ridges it creates. Normally at this stage you should knit a tension square to make sure your...
raglan cardigan with fully fashioned shaping
Fully fashioned shaping is a term often used when types of increasing or decreasing are used to create a decorative effect and become a feature of the design. Usually the shaping is made a few stitches in from the edge so that it is clearly seen on the fabric rather than hidden in the seam, and can sometimes make sewing up or picking up stitches easier. I have used such shaping on this raglan cardigan to emphasise the raglan sleeve, which can look really attractive on small, baby-sized garments...
Flat Join Garter Stitch Seams
The making up of a garment and adding picked-up borders is the last, but one of the most important, stages in producing a professional-looking garment. A beautifully knitted garment can be ruined by careless sewing up, or unevenly picked-up borders, as the knitter hurries to complete the project. So to avoid having a finish you won't be proud of, take a look at these basic techniques designed to help you perfect those finishing touches. which stitch to use The seam that I use for almost all...
garter stitch blanket
A soft blanket in a cashmere mix is the perfect way to envelop a small baby. By working the squares in different shades you can create a patchwork of colour without having to worry about tackling complicated colour techniques. As with the scarf, tension is not as important as it usually is, as any alteration made in measurements won't be a problem on a blanket because it does not need to fit a particular size. However, with this pattern you are now being introduced to another knitting...

boat neck sweater
This pattern introduces you to shaping, which makes a garment fit better or makes it more practical to wear. In this design straight sleeves that measured the same all the way up would produce a piece that fitted comfortably at the top but would be too wide at the wrist. So here they are made wider at the top than the bottom by adding more stitches at the beginning and end of certain rows. This technique is called increasing. The style of sleeve used here is called a dropped shoulder the...
