Brooklyn Tweed Mirepoix

Rivulets of patterning run along this stole, with eyelets shifting, branching, and straightening in predictable sequences. The organic effect calls to mind creek beds, root systems, droplets coursing down a window. A meditative knit in laceweight Vale, Ravine is understated enough to elevate everyday outfits and needn’t be reserved for special occasions only. Worked flat from end to end, this pattern uses only the simplest techniques and is accessible to knitters who are new to lace. Designer: Sandhya Shandangi Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Véronik created a luxuriously soft and snuggly stole by working with Loft on a large needle and lace-blocking the finished fabric. Simple garter stitch is transformed into a pillowy, cloudlike stole that is equally at home wrapped around the shoulders or bundled under a winter coat as a long scarf. The charted half of the stole features a graphic lace snowflake motif, while the second half is filled with a random eyelet “snow” pattern. Have fun embracing your inner knitting spontaneity – no two stoles will be exactly the same! Designer: Véronik Avery Collection: Winter…

In a compelling balance of geometric linework and openwork, Rivulet reminds one of the languid swaying of seaweed under water, swirling schools of fish, and rippling coastal bedforms. Let its undulating waves gently lap against your shoulders just as the sun kisses your cheeks. Knit flat with Loft in twisted rib and geometric lace, with optional instructions for crocheted button loops for converting into a cowl. The lace motif is worked from charts only.

“Tilting diagonal bands radiate from the center of this square first in one direction, then the other, through the border. Paired eyelets separate bands of stockinette stitch and moss stitch, with leaves sprouting from the border to create an edge in soft contrast to the clean geometric lines. Sweet, simple, and quick to work up, this shawl would make an equally wonderful baby blanket.”− Leila Raven Designer: Leila Raven Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Knit a lace stole or a large cowl from the same pattern of diamonds and rhombuses in shifting textures – knit, purl, garter. Both versions of Prism are knit from end to end, and the motif is intuitive to work once established, with lace maneuvers on right-side rows only. Bands of garter stitch divide the cowl into panels, one of which conceals the graft where the ends meet. Vale’s palette offers both bright and nuanced hues to create a spectrum of Prisms that will suit any wardrobe. Designer: Natalie Servant Collection: Wool People, Volume…

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…

Islands and ripples of stockinette in a sea of delicate lace mark this beautiful stole. The sense of balance and organic movement in Irina’s distinctive aesthetic makes this piece feel like an instant heirloom. A provisional cast-on allows you to work in two directions, knitting the center panel and one end before picking up stitches from the cast-on to mirror the motifs on the other end.

This gracefully modern interpretation of the traditional lace stole plays with clever, knitterly construction. Dawn Catanzaro gives her piece an unexpected 90-degree twist to make an impact with long lines of garter stitch. The center of the stole is knit up from a long foundational strip of lace, the lace of the short edges is accomplished together with the body, and the second long lace edge is worked as the garter stitches are bound off. Knit in Loft at an airy gauge, the fabric is light and warm as down. Designer: Dawn Catanzaro Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Inspired by a line of poetry from William Butler Yeats, this modern honeycomb lace stole is distinguished by rays of stockinette bursting from one corner. Bristol Ivy is known for garments and accessories with innovative, geometric forms, such as Thorn (Wool People 4), Svalbard (Wool People 6), and Keel (Wool People 8). Now she gives us an inversion of the positive and negative space relationships often found in asymmetric shawls. Gyre is worked entirely from charts in three skeins of Loft; choose a bright, fresh hue for the perfect summer accessory.

A simple silhouette — trim sleeves and gentle A-line waist shaping — serves as the ideal canvas for Fabiola’s beautifully tessellating, allover colorwork. An irresistible piece sure to hone your skills, Fabiola incorporates steeking at the armholes and neckline, a technique that ingeniously allows the mosaic motif to continue uninterrupted in the round, before the remainder of the garment is completed seamlessly. For your background colors, choose closely related shades of Loft for subtle glowing striations at the body, or bolder pairings for eye-catching, contrastive stripes.

Leander begins with twisted rib, morphing into a traveling current of brioche rib shaped to follow a sinuous course by a combination of decorative increases and decreases. This directional shaping also lends gentle curves along the scarf’s outer edges, fluidly framing the neck and the shoulders when draped. Worked in woolen-spun Shelter, Leander makes for a gratifying combination of tactile indulgence and lofty warmth. This scarf is worked in two pieces, each from the cast-on edge to the center; the pieces are then joined. The long edges are finished with a knit-in I-cord edging.

A good Pi Shawl is always welcome in my knitting bag. This type of construction, developed by Elizabeth Zimmermann in the 1950’s, is a perfect balance between mindless and attentive knitting. Upon completion of Chart A, the entire shawl will have only 4 total shaping rounds remaining. You’ll be amazed at how quickly this project will fly off your needles! Named after the stunning collection of poetry by American poet Walt Whitman, these pretty motifs remind me of the Spring Thaw and the plant life that returns after Winter’s end.

Bundle into a plush, oversized turtleneck pullover for late-season trips to the mountains. Laura Chau puts a surprising slant on uncomplicated cables and ribs by working Bracondale’s front and back on the bias. The sweater begins with the ribbed side panels, back, and front worked individually and seamed together. The ribbed sleeves are worked in the round from stitches picked up at the armholes; the turtleneck is picked up and worked in the round, then completed with a tubular bind-off for elasticity and a professional finish.

Inspired by the slanting angles of warm summer sunlight, Wyden is awash in three-dimensional texture.

Written and charted for budding and experienced knitters alike, this voluminous triangular shawl is warm and cozy in Arbor’s squishy Targhee wool. Throw Wyden over sun-kissed shoulders at the end of a long day and drink in a striking sunset. Designer: Victoria Burgess Collection: BT Summer Share on social…

A boxy, open-gauge cardigan in Quarry: the ultimate in slouchy comfort that doesn’t sacrifice good looks. Riverbend’s hem is shaped with short rows so that the back is several inches longer than the cropped fronts. The deep V of the neckline makes it easy to layer. All pieces are knit flat, and we chose to assemble them with the purl side facing out, but instructions are also given for exposing the traditional knit side if you prefer. Two options are given for resolving the short rows so that they’ll be least visible on the public side of your garment, whichever side you’d like that to be.

"This quick-knitting cardigan makes the most of round, multi-ply yarns with smooth definition. The chunky gauge of the fabric turns up the volume on the many knitterly details stashed throughout the project. A simple allover garter rib pattern forms the basis for strong architectural shaping details, all of which are worked with decorative double-decreases that keep the rib pattern unbroken throughout and highlight unique design lines. The compound raglan yoke creates a comfortable fit through the shoulders and the easy-to-work stand-up collar creates a cozy finish.

For knitters who love a geometric puzzle, this study in modular asymmetry will keep the brain and the needles busy. Constructed in squares and triangles worked from the edges inward, Counterpane uses bands of stockinette, garter, and brioche to create three-dimensional texture as well as arresting diagonal lines. Each section is worked on stitches picked up from the previous square and newly cast on. The sleeve cuffs achieve a subtle bloused form by echoing the brioche and garter bands of the blocks.

“This design draws inspiration from both the new and old. I was intrigued by the modernity and drape of an oversized dolman tee, and I also loved the soft femininity of the simple, delicate prints of liberty cotton and vintage summer dresses. This pullover combines the two into the best of both worlds: a gentle, fern-like, allover cable motif joins with a loose and wonderfully drapey shape to create the perfect spring or summer sweater.” – Bristol Ivy Designer: Bristol Ivy Collection: Wool People, Volume…

The Tilda Cardigan takes a great basic shape and embellishes it with whimsical details. The column of eyelets along each side seam begins at the hem and flows directly into the raglan lines on both fronts and back. The stockinette button band is flanked on either side by a pair of simple cables, while the garment’s body and three-quarter sleeves are trimmed with an optional contrasting color rolled edge. The generous scoop neck begs to be styled with shirts featuring interesting collars (or cowls).
