Brooklyn Tweed Rakke

Cast on a shawl to conjure summer wildflowers when the snow starts to fly. Aster is a delicate triangular beauty made of traditional Estonian elements, including tulip motifs and nupps—simple small bobbles formed by repeatedly knitting and making yarnovers into a single stitch, then purling together the whole cluster on the return row. Apart from the nupp closures, wrong side rows are worked plain, making this lace project accessible to intermediate knitters. Worked from the top center outward, the shawl uses three skeins of Loft and measures 58” along the top edge after blocking.

Lace butterflies skirt this shawl and sweep up the center in a merry flock. The knitting begins with a large cast-on for the full length of the trailing edge. A line of eyelets creates an effect reminiscent of crochet. The scalloped edge motifs soften the triangular inner forms into an organic deep crescent that naturally wraps your shoulders and hangs prettily in place without the aid of a pin. This is piquant lace knitting, with no “resting rows” between lace maneuvers in many of the charts. Directions are given for four sizes; the two smallest can be worked from a single skein of Plains.

A woolly triangular shawl in a lightweight fabric is a great accessory to have on hand. We like to wear them bunched up around the neck, with volume, like a scarf. The stitch patterns incorporated in this design allow the fabric to be decorative, without being overly lacey. Here yarn and pattern combine to create a warm accessory that is both beautiful and functional. Designer: Leila Raven Collection: Loft…

Curl up in your favorite chair with a book or some knitting while the rain courses down the windows. This boxy, cropped classic in Loft is all comfort, elevated with a few playful twists. A set of short rows at each shoulders give the stripes an eye-catching pivot, and the ribbed cuffs, hem, and neckband are knit in Shelter for a surprising dash of chunky texture. Eaves is knit in the round from the bottom up to the armholes. The front and back are worked flat and shaped with short rows, then united with a joinery bind off. The set-in sleeve caps are worked flat and sewn in.

This triangular shawl is constructed using a combination of traditional and modern Estonian construction methods and is adorned with an Estonian “Cube & Spruce” allover motif. Worked in a pale shade of grey, it reminds us of snowy woods during Winter. Nupp clusters add subtle texture to the central triangle and a lacy border makes this a pretty accessory that will keep your neck warm during the cold weather, or act as a light layer during chilly evenings in the warmer seasons.

Squishy brioche stitch makes such a wonderful, buoyant fabric – it’s one of our very favorite stitch patterns for simple basics. Dawn’s Kennebec can be worn as a scarf looped over the neck, or doubled back on itself for a warm and dramatic statement piece. Yardage requirements have been given for regular and deep versions. We’ve shown samples in our worsted weight Shelter yarn, as well as fingering weight Loft yarn held double for fabric with even more bounce and body. Tubular cast ons and bind offs make this simple piece special – tutorials included!

This deep and well-proportioned triangle shawl works outward from a twisted-stitch variation of a traditional garter tab. Textured arrows of reverse stockinette flow down both sides into a unique four-stitch textured border that is also reflected around the center spine. Originally written for use with a double strand of Loft or a single strand of Shelter, Kindling is a light and rustic layer to float over a winter coat.

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.

A newcomer to Wool People, Amy van de Laar favors clean shapes and bold geometry in her design work. Kea, inspired by the plumage of New Zealand’s cheeky parrots, is a simple garter-based triangle that uses a spare and effective combination of ribs and feather motifs to create a cozy, rustic wrap. Worked in Loft from charts or written directions, this intuitive project is perfect for beginning lace knitters. Kea is offered in small and large sizes and can easily be scaled even larger by repeating the feather lace motif.

Flitting from funnel neck to circular yoke, clustered columns of ribbing rhythmically weave and cross to hug your shoulders before continuing down the trim raglan sleeves. Skeppa’s seamless top-down construction and straight unisex fit will keep your needles buzzing from cast-on to bind-off. Knit Skeppa in a sunny shade of woolen-spun Tones for a light and lofty layer, or choose worsted-spun Imbue’s honey-rich hues for an extra-lush feel.

A bold Icelandic-style yoke printed with a spirograph of interlacing chevrons is striking on anybody. Spearheads knits up lightning fast in two high-contrast colors of Quarry to fend off the winter chill. We paired Gypsum with Lazulite and Hematite; imagine the yoke in Citrine on a background of Obsidian or marry Slate with Sandstone for a mellow contrast. Reversing the dark and light colors should be equally successful. Choose single or double rib for the hem, cuffs and neckband according to your liking. Pattern includes unisex sizing.

Corrugated texture provides a trellis for twining cables at the center front and back. Hague sports a boxy silhouette with a bateau neck and exaggerated drop shoulders that create a chevron detail where the welts meet at the seam line. 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 sample is shown in Slate, but Lazulite and even Obsidian would be handsome choices, too. Designer: Michele Wang Collection: CAPSULE | Michele…

“This pi shawl gracefully blends Elizabeth Zimmermann’s traditional construction with fresh textures. While many pi shawls employ only lace patterns, this one focuses on rich texture and motion, drawing the eye from the center outward and then around the circumference of the circle as the chevrons point the way. The stitch patterns used are very simple and can easily be memorized, but the resulting fabric is mesmerizing.” – Andrea Rangel Designer: Andrea Rangel Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Astoria is a visually delicate yet substantial layer dotted with eyelet motifs and traveling cables reminiscent of nautical rope. Knit in Arbor, Astoria tethers one to both the open sea and the gentle beach — dense and protective against the sea spray, but also comfortable to wear while viewing the lulling current close to shore.

“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…

Inspired by the slanting angles of warm summer sunlight, Wyden is awash in three-dimensional texture. Raised ridges of coordinated knits and purls spill forth in energetic bands of zig, zags and lines both parallel and perpendicular. 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…

“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.

A snuggly cowl with simple but striking stitchwork makes the perfect deep winter accessory. Tailor Mason to your climate by selecting a double-stranded version for serious warmth or working with a single strand for a cowl appropriate to milder weather. Both Masons use ridges of a contrast color interrupted by slipped stitches for a woven effect that’s eye catching but simple to execute. A funnel shape improves the fit, and single-rib tubular edges provide an elastic and professional finish. Designer: Julie Hoover Collection: Winter…

Like early morning sunlight flickering through curtains, clusters of blackberry stitch warmly speckle the surface of Maybeck. Sleek saddle shoulders are cleverly worked in the round from the top down, allowing you to try on as you go for a perfect fit. Striking braided trim lets your personal style shine — go bold with a contrasting color as we’ve done, or choose a single color to highlight the luxurious layers of texture in soft and springy Peerie.

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.

Make a sweeping statement in this dramatic long coat with an innovative notched collar in cartridge rib. The fronts are cut away from hip to hem to swing freely open, and the drop shoulders create just a touch of detail at the narrow sleeves. The body is worked flat in three pieces and seamed; stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes and knit in the round to the cuffs. The collar and lower front extensions are picked up and knit after assembly. In woolen-spun Shelter, Corvid moves beautifully without weighing you down. Designer: Jared Flood Collection: Winter…

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.
