Brooklyn Tweed Hickory Cap

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.

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.

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.

For casual weekend errands, throw on this organically cabled hat that recalls patches of sky glimpsed from the forest floor. Sturdy cabled trunks interspersed among the ribs of the brim branch into more delicate interlacing motifs on a ground of reverse stockinette. The ribbed crown finishes with a jaunty pompom, if you so desire. Try it in your favorite bright accent color from the Shelter palette or choose a wear-with-everything neutral like Fossil or Snowbound. This pattern is part of Michele Wang’s CAPSULE Collection for Brooklyn Tweed.

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.

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.

Five big twining cables sprout from a field of blackberry stitch to adorn this pert cap. Arbor’s excellent stitch definition makes the most of the high-relief texture in the motifs; Dapple lends a softer hand to the fabric. Both yarns' nuanced palettes allow you to choose the perfect color to coordinate with your autumn wardrobe — or knit up a bevy of different colors to gift to friends. A single-rib edge makes Huck stretchy enough to fit most adult heads. Designer: Norah Gaughan Collection: Fall…

Delicate cables form decorative oak leaf medallions to paper the extra-wide fabric of this poncho-like pullover.

Tubular hems and chain selvedges ensure a tidy finish everywhere.

Enjoy texture, both quiet and luxurious, with the Treefolds Hat. Allover cables developed as a modern take on traditional Tree of Life cable patterns is the highlighting feature of this stately hat. Trees abstracted into diamonds are created by zigzagging cable panels placed next to each other in mirroring directions. Blending seamlessly with these cable crosses are fully-fashioned double decreases at the crown, which result in a uniquely geometric design at the top of the hat.

Shelter marls make the simplest fabrics eye-catching, and exposing the pebbled texture of the purl side only heightens the effect. The Mossbank pullover adds ribbed edges in a coordinating solid color as a grounding accent. Tailored shaping with set-in sleeves, a generous neckline, and just enough ease for layering make this sweater the kind of simple basic that quickly becomes indispensible as a wardrobe anchor. Mossbank is worked flat and seamed, with the neckband knit in the round after assembly. Designer: Kerry Robb Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Light and lofty brioche stitch makes the ideal wrap or lap blanket. Douro explores the possibilities of traveling lines in brioche, wandering from symmetry to asymmetry and back to regular ribs. The two halves culminate in a band of garter stitch fused at the center spine with the Joinery Bind-Off. Worked from written instructions, this pattern is a good way to step up from basic brioche knitting. Designer: Norah Gaughan Collection: Winter…

Worked left to right from a provisional cast on, this pullover showcases a single bold cable flanked by delicate eyelets. The gracefully curved back hem and shoulders are shaped as you knit the body, and the three-quarter length sleeves are worked flat and top-down from live stitches. After joining the two sides and seaming the sleeves, the ribbed hem is then picked up and knit to complete the garment.

"This shawl developed around a cable that I couldn’t get out of my head, and when its meandering tendrils are turned upside down they bring to mind complex, interlocking root systems. The garter stitch top and bottom borders lend visual grounding, but a sense of upward movement as well to counter the downward-tangling cables.

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…

“During the design process, my aim was to create a timeless garment containing both traditional and modern features. I chose a diamond motif with moss stitch that I saw in a fisherman’s sweater because not only is it a beautifully textured stitch, but I can also use it either as a single line of diamonds (as in the sleeve) or a line of multiple diamonds (as in the body). Instead of having a traditional vertical line of purl stitches on either side, I used stockinette stitch to encircle the motif to keep the whole design clean and simple. The sweater is knit top down.

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.

“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.

“To give the basic Aran pullover a little pizzazz, I added the bias cables on the front and back pieces. They add interest not only by changing the flow of the cables, but by changing the entire silhouette of the sweater. The biasing gives the slightest hint of a peplum and accentuates the waist naturally. And to keep the femininity, the neckband is a soft rollover versus a traditional ribbed neckband.” – Michele Wang Designer: Michele Wang Collection: Fall…
