Fancy Floral Medallion Pillow

From the August 2024 issue

This pillow design takes inspiration from the medallion at the center of a traditional rug. The front is crafted in the round using a disappearing loop cast on and features increasing rounds of stranded knitting. The first seven repeats of the pattern are identical, while the eighth and final repeat includes slight modifications to camouflage the round jog, starting with an additional stitch added in Round 7. The back comprises two overlapping semicircles, worked from garter tabs and secured with buttons. Upon completion, the front and back are placed together and finished with an I-cord 3-needle bind-off, resulting in a beautifully cohesive and elegant pillow.

Regatta Ready Pullover

By

From the April 2024 issue

This cropped pullover with a split high/low hem is meticulously crafted in a seamless fashion. The process begins by working it in the round from the bottom up. After reaching the armholes, the pullover is divided, and the subsequent sections are worked flat. To shape the deep shoulders, German short rows are skillfully employed, enhancing the overall silhouette. The shoulders are later joined using a three-needle bind-off technique for a neat finish. Continuing the seamless construction, stitches for the sleeves are deftly picked up around the armhole and worked in the round until reaching the cuff. This cohesive approach results in a stylish pullover with a well-defined structure and a harmonious blend of techniques.

Lucy Puff Stitch Scarf

By

From the August 2021 issue

This lovely scarf is reversible with wrapped cluster puff stitches set against a background of marled seed stitch. This particular pattern has the puff stitches arranged in diagonal accent stripes, but they can easily be rearranged into an all-over pattern, horizontal stripes or any design that the knitter chooses. The pink and cream yarns create a soft, subtle contrast between the puff stitches and the textured background, but it would be simple to achieve a bolder look by using colors that contrast more strongly. The selvedge stitches of the scarf are worked as twisted slip-stitches for neat edges and the twisted fringe is added with a crochet hook after knitting for a decorative finish.
