Zigzag Reversible Wrap

By

From the August 2024 issue

This fun rectangular shawl blends marled seed stitch with double-knit zigzags to create an eye-catching, reversible wrap. The colorwork is inspired by Anna Maltz’s “marlisle” technique, but uses double knitting instead of stranded colorwork so that there is no wrong side. The seed stitch background is worked with both colors of yarn held together, and then each color is used separately to create the double-knit zigzag motif. The suggested yarns pair an ombré pink with an ombré gray to create an interesting gradient effect. As a finishing touch, a tassel is added to each corner of the shawl. The dimensions of the wrap can easily be modified to create a narrower scarf or a wider blanket, as desired.

Tawny Sweater Blazer

By

From the October 2022 issue

Cardigans: cozy. Blazers: polished. Why not combine the two and look put together while still being snuggly and warm? This cardigan features knitted lapels like a blazer, but it’s a bit oversized and bulky to keep you cozy all winter long. Belt the middle for a more work-ready look.

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.

Autumn’s True Stripes Scarf

By

From the October 2020 issue

Super snuggly scarves are fun, quick and easy to make with super bulky yarn. Use the seed stitch to create a bumpy fabric that will lay flat and won’t add extra bulk. Wrap a couple times around the neck for a big bold accessory or drape a single loop in front for a traditional scarf drape.
