Brooklyn Tweed Lolo

Lollylob is a hat replete with romantic finials and deep, furrowed cables. Sporting a modern, slim ribbed brim, this thoughtful combination of twining cables both thick and thin is a truly unique twist on a classic accessory. Instructions are both written and charted, delivering a stunning hat that is accessible and alluring. Knit from brim to crown in Arbor and all your work will shine with three-dimensional texture and crisp stitch definition highlighting each whorl; alternatively, work Lollylob in Dapple for a softer, gentler look.

Rhythmic all-over cables in Shelter produce a handsome, seaworthy cap that’s quick and satisfying to knit. After a short band of 1 x 1 rib, the hat breaks into a geometric motif of interlocking tiered cables. Perfect for knitters who have tried some basic cables and feel ready for more challenge, the charts are predictable and easy to memorize. The pattern includes a modification for a slightly shorter beanie length. Deep texture means the pattern won’t be lost in dark colors, so this design is a good choice for Cast Iron, Soot, Artifact, Old World, or Plume.

Woolen spun Loft yarn adds texture and depth to the artful colorwork in the Dovera hat. With subtle beret-like shaping integrated into an intricate stranded motif, Dovera will satisfy experienced knitters and colorwork novices alike. The airiness of fingering-weight Loft creates a sturdy yet lightweight fabric that will keep its shape through plenty of wear. The Dovera hat is knit in the round from the brim to the crown, which is shaped with decreases that are incorporated into the colorwork.

Perfect for round, springy yarns with exceptional stitch definition, this hat’s clever stitch pattern mimics woven basketry through the creative use of knits, purls, and yarn overs. This is one of those stitch patterns that gives dramatic results despite using only the most basic of knitting stitches! The deeply textured fabric is balanced with a doubled-ribbed brim that adds squishy comfort and a substantial base for the woven textures that grow from it.

A hedge of cables rings this pert cap, then twines organically upward to the crown. Hutchin is worked in the round from a single skein of Loft, but the knitting will keep you on your toes as the cables weave and twist. A tubular cast-on and a band of ribbing make the hat stretchy enough to fit most adult heads. Hutchin’s light fabric makes it a great cap to reach for in the transitional seasons when you need a little extra warmth. Try it in a soft gray or a warm brown as suits your complexion, match it to your eye color, or pay homage to the season with Loft in Embers, Hayloft, or Wool Socks.

This cabled hat is pure joy to knit and works up quickly in Shelter as either a fitted beanie or a double-brimmed watchcap. Above the ribbed brim, diamond knots filled with double seed stitch link elbows between simple cables that meet at the crown. Either hat is stretchy enough to accommodate most adult heads, so you can knit different colors for your dear ones. Add a jolly pompom for a youthful, slouchy effect.

“Conceptually, I wanted this hat to be as big and chunky as possible – making a statement without becoming a helmet. I kept adding more and more strands of yarn (ultimately using four) to achieve just the right fabric I was after. A turned-hem brim and simple cable repeat completes the look. You can wear this hat pushed back to create some fashionable slouch or pulled down snugly over the forehead for more warmth.” – Julie Hoover Designer: Julie Hoover Collection: Fall…

Perfect for a walk in the woods, this playful cap requires five colors of Loft. The simple colorwork is good practice for beginners and invites you to make use of remnants or audition colors you might want to combine in a larger project. A single-rib tubular cast-on creates an elastic and durable edge. The crown decreases in six segments for a clean, uncluttered finish. The beret-inflected shape is universally flattering, and this quick project makes an excellent gift knit. Designer: Julie Hoover Collection: Fall…

Bold geometric motifs reminiscent of woven wool blankets give this Shelter poncho lasting appeal. Worked from charts in textured knit, purl, and slipped stitches, Amulet begins with shoulder shaping and is worked downward to the center of the front and back. Consecutive bands of twisted stitches create a horizontal braid effect to divide the motifs. The lower pieces are knit from the hem up and joined to form a decorative ridge. This light, warm garment can be pivoted 90 degrees and worn with the side ribbing as the front hem for an alternate look.

The Scrollwork hat and cowl set feature Irina Dmitrieva’s signature interlocking aran stitches. Dmitrieva has a knack for weaving with cables – evidenced here by the elegant integration of ribbed trims and crown shaping to create a seamless network of root-like motifs. Each accessory is a joy to knit and a great addition to any knitter’s wardrobe. Each project requires 2 skeins of Shelter, though both can be made with 3 skeins.

Sets of riverine cables flanked by alternating slips of reverse stockinette wend up to the crown of this pert cap. Knit from a single skein of Loft, Sawmill River is an accessory for those who appreciate clean, geometric style. It works up quickly and intuitively enough to make ideal gift knitting, too.

Both hats begin with a brim of garter stitch and finish with a loop of i-cord, perfect for hanging them to dry after a walk in the autumn mizzle.

“Stranded colorwork always seems so appropriate for the Winter season to me. The patterns created by the two colors are so festive, brightening up those late winter days that can be so dreary.

Shelter marls make the simplest fabrics eye-catching, and exposing the pebbled texture of the purl side only heightens the effect.

“The inspiration for Loess came from my life on Île de Ré, an island off the west coast of France — very wild and natural, with a little smell of sea spray. This stole is light, soft, and worked with bands of crisply defined patterning.” – Christine de Castelbajac Riffles of openwork and crossed stitches punctuate the smooth surface of stockinette in this elegant, modern scarf. The pattern offers two sizes, a small scarf and a generous wrap.

Corrugated texture provides a trellis for twining cables at the center front and back.

This pullover is a quick knit in chunky Quarry, and the bold texture of this garment means the motifs won’t be lost in our darker colors.

The subtle simplicity of Maki calls for a closer look, which reveals that there is more to this design than meets the eye. The flattering A-line silhouette is accented by rows of welts on the back yoke for satisfying texture that also peeks out and around to the front of the shoulders, like angular epaulettes. The rolled neckline, garter stitch trims, and notched vents at the hems serve as balancing counterpoints that echo the framing of the back yoke. Wear Maki as a year-round layering piece with beguiling elegance.

“This shawl is worked using a modified version of a traditional Shetland construction. In this case stockinette stitch replaces the typical garter stitch used in the center triangle portion of the shawl. As with the traditional method, yarn overs are worked at the beginning of every row creating visual loops, which are then picked up to work the border. Sandness is intended as a bigger cousin companion to my Norby beanie as they share the same textured pattern.

Knit up a smoking jacket-style cardigan in Quarry for a plush and cozy outer layer this autumn. The overall fabric of moss stitch creates gentle texture that shows off Quarry’s flecks and striations, and a subtle A-line shape with raglan shoulders makes Tamarack easy to wear. Choose between a short ribbed band for the fronts or a shawl collar band shaped with short rows. Optional patch pockets and a belt secured with i-cord complete the look. Knit our Shaped version shown here to comfortably fit smaller frames, or the Classic version for a traditional tailored fit.

This workhorse sweater, embellished with a field of fine cables on the central panels, will see you through any busy day in comfort. The relaxed A-line fit is easy to wear, and slim set-in sleeves and carefully tailored shoulders ensure a polished look. The three narrow panels of the front and back are knit separately, then sewn with an exposed seam for a touch of rugged texture. A classic close-fitting turtleneck in double rib makes Equus extra cozy.

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.
