Hooked on Knitting
My mom tried to teach me to knit when I was around 8 and I promptly broke a needle.
Fast forward over 40 years later and I was hooked! I learned right after my daughter was born with help from my mom over the phone and a kit from a clearance table. I couldn’t believe I lived so long without it!

This seamless vest is a fast knit with wonderful yarn: treat yourself to Dream in Color Classy since few skeins are needed.
Waist shaping creates a flattering silhouette, and a three needle bindoff at the shoulders to keep it seamless.
The neck and armhole trim is also worked in the round and added after the body of the vest is knit.
Work this seamless, top down tee quickly in this aran weight cotton/linen blend.
The easy lace pattern adds a bit of interest without overwhelming the sweater, and can be worn two ways: lace detail only at the raglan seams or all over the bodice.
Easy to customize as well: if you want longer sleeves, keep knitting for the perfect fit.
A simple mitten pattern with no seaming, knit in the round, from cuff to tip. A great way to use that special sock yarn too pretty to hide in your shoes. And with six different sizes, you can make a pair for everyone you know!
These can also be worn with the reverse stockinette stitch side facing outward. To achieve this, work the mitten as written, but weave in ends on the stockinette side, so that when the mitten is turned inside out, the ends are properly hidden.
Here is a terrific pattern for the introduction of knitting socks from the cuff down with four double pointed needles.
This pattern has been professionally tech edited by Kristen TenDyke and had over half a dozen test knitters contribute and check this pattern so it is as clear as possible.
While still being an easy knit, garter stitch with two colors adds a new dimension to the fabric of all four of the pieces included in Beartooth.
There are two hats (with 3 sizes each), a cowl (one size) and scarf (two sizes). Slouch #1 is featured in this listing. A fabulous value -- 4 patterns for $4.95!
Grab your favorite cotton and create a lovely gift for yourself or others!
Ten different designs and two different edgings make up this pattern booklet: flower, bunny, heart, tulip, cloud & rain, daisy, starfish, sun, moon & stars and seashell.
