A weightless, geometric, modern stole in Plains is elegant over a winter coat or a summer dress. Selune’s peaks and diamonds overlap to form graphic patterns of shifting scale; the motifs are easy to anticipate and read, so experienced lace knitters will only need to refer to the charts occasionally. The stole is knit in two pieces and grafted with Kitchener stitch at the center for perfect symmetry. Designer: Julie Hoover Collection: Winter…

" I was inspired by the abstract floral works of Hilma af Klint and the iconic Marimekko poppy and wondered how to translate shapes with such large swathes of color into a knitting project. I felt that neither stranded colorwork nor intarsia would be entirely technically suitable and then I hit on double knitting. This technique allows long stretches between color changes, perfect for depicting a freeform design, and is ideal for working in the round.

This shawl combines classic knit-purl patterning (quoting Guernsey sweaters traditionally worn by Fishermen in the northern European Isles) with a more modern, wearable shape. The Guernsey Triangle is a lightweight companion piece to the rectangular Guernsey Wrap that I designed in the Fall of 2010. Two sizes have been provided: the small version – a wool kerchief – can be easily worn alone over a shirt or blouse, or layered outerwear; the large shawl version may be comfortably wrapped around the shoulders or gathered around the neck for a look with more volume.

Yoko Hatta’s sixth design for Wool People is a loose A-line smock in Shelter, the perfect casual overlayer for cozy warmth. Panels of textural broken rib flow up the center lines and slant across the hips to add geometric interest and visual movement. Imago is worked flat in four pieces with a ground of reverse stockinette, and the hem is lowered at the sides through the use of decreases and increases—no short rows necessary, but simultaneous shaping will require your full attention.

“I was inspired to design this cardigan while experimenting with different reversible cable patterns. I wanted to design a light, airy everyday cardigan that would go with everything. The challenge with a piece like this is that wearable often equals ordinary. When I stumbled across this sweet and simple reversible cable, I knew I had found just the thing to bring my design from ordinary to interesting. The addition of reverse stockinette stripes at the hems and the shoulders brings further visual interest by adding a bit of texture and rhythm.

This pair of mittens is laden with sculptural cables on the hand and adorned with a simple, textured “sled” stitch on the palm. The two given sizes are achieved by working the same pattern at different gauges. The shaping for the thumb and lower hand is slightly unusual: unlike a traditional thumb gore, Flint’s thumb stitches are already present at the base of wrist. Stitches are increased on both hand-top & palm to shift the thumb outward in a diagonal direction for a comfortable, anatomical fit.

Originally appearing in the Holiday Gifts 2007 issue of Interweave Knits magazine, this pattern was inspired by the work of Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, whose geometric, structural design of the Seattle Central Library is mirrored in the cabled lattice motif. Slanting twisted stitches cross and recross, transforming architectural planes into organic curves that gently hug the head to gather in a striking starburst crown.

"The Checkers Cardigan evokes the patched flannels or plaid work coats that were the mainstay of Grandpa’s closet. Meant to be a roomy layering piece somewhere between a coat and a cardigan, this garment is worked in a welted checkerboard pattern for an extra-plush fabric that holds in warmth. Choose to work the shawl collar option and give the cozy and nostalgic factor a boost. Select colors that are high-contrast and keep Checkers true to its namesake, or opt for a tonal pairing for a more subtle take.

An open-front cardigan in Quarry with a dramatic ribbed collar adds a note of cozy chic to your wardrobe. Three-quarter length sleeves balance the volume of the ribbed lapels, which are shaped with short rows worked at the ends of the collar rather than around the neck. Exaggerated drop shoulders create a flattering curve and seam detail at the upper arm. Opt for tubular edges for a professional finish or substitute your favorite standard method for a sweater you can knit up in a flash. The pieces are knit flat and the collar is worked on stitches picked up after seaming.

Inspired by cabin living in coastal Maine, Cedarwood strikes a perfect balance between rustic and refined. A gentle A-line shape and open fronts of stockinette allowed to curl gracefully under form the ground for an elongated OXO motif rendered in transitions from stockinette to garter stitch. The cardigan begins with the provisionally cast-on collar; stitches are picked up along one long edge and from both live ends to work the sinuous raglan yoke from the top down.

Allegheny is designed to be dress length (falling just above the knee), and belted high on the waist. However, because of its top-down construction, length modifications can easily be made. Belt placement can be higher or lower than specified to work for the wearer’s figure, and the skirt can be worked to any width and length that suits your fancy. Along the same lines, the pattern can be customized for a tunic or long pullover fit. These modifications require a small amount of simple math, instructions for which are included in the pattern.

Olga chose a clean, simple silhouette to feature Trace’s graphic colorwork gradient that moves from dark to light over the length of the garment. The vest features several gorgeous details: graceful hem facings along the base of the body, neck opening, & armholes, and side vent with varied length on Front/Back pieces. While the body length is different on Front and Back, the neck depth is the same; in this way, the piece can be worn with either side as front, giving the wearer styling options. We photographed the sample with the longer piece in back.

Melissa Wehrle is known for elevating basic shapes with just the right details. She brings that meticulous attention to detail to Truss, a contemporary, drop-shoulder cardigan with flattering ribbed side panels. Decorative eyelets follow pyramids of ribbing, echoing the lines of the V-neck and providing subtle shaping at the waist. The split hem begins with ribbing worked separately for the fronts and back; the work is then joined to knit the body in one piece to the underarms. The back and fronts are again worked separately to the shoulders; sleeves are knit flat and seamed in.

The mock turtleneck gets a futuristic lift from racing stripes of graphic double rib that delineate the sides and underarms and then slalom around the shoulders. Knit in Arbor, the base fabric of reverse stockinette throws the ribbing into high relief, and tubular edges create a durable and professional finish. When choosing a size, keep in mind that the sleeve caps have an unusual construction that makes the cross-back measurement more important than the bust dimension; you may need to knit a size larger than usual.
