Pieces are worked flat from the bottom up, with drop-stitch and openwork mesh elements fitted into the pullover’s stockinette fabric, all beautifully rendered in fingering-weight linen Sparrow.

For an engaging knit that takes full advantage of Peerie’s crisp stitch definition, lively bounce, and all-around versatility, try the Ines Pullover. The highlight of this tailored, square turtleneck pullover are intriguing center panels of textural collage at both the front and the back. Half-twisted ribbing, garter stitch, and cable twists each take their turn on backgrounds of stockinette and reverse stockinette to yield a piece nothing short of impressive.

An easy poncho style, Dormer’s basic rectangle construction allows you to concentrate on the dropped stitch and cable patterning—an irresistible effect in a ribbon linen yarn like Kestrel. Convert it to a pullover by simply seaming up the sides; Norah also suggests working more rows on the cuffs if you desire longer, fitted sleeves. We love pieces that allow you the freedom to really make it your own! Go to Framework…

Pretty Bower is deliciously clever to knit. Beginning at the bottom edge of the front pieces, this cardigan is worked up, over the shoulders, and down to the bottom edge of the back, with only the sides to seam. A simple length of i-cord adds stability to the open back neck, and leaf motifs grace the cardigan fronts. Go to Framework…

This pullover in Shelter honors every feature of the traditional gansey. Stout chain cables boldly mark the textured yoke both fore and aft. The gentlest of A-lines makes for an easy fit, and details like the split ribbed hem and decorative side seams make Caspian both eye catching and knitterly. The front and back are worked flat with modified drop shoulders; sleeves are knit in the round to the underarm and then finished with small caps and wide ribbed saddles that ensure a trim, smart fit.

This cozy pullover is such a fun knit. Lots to do at the outset, working seamlessly from the top, with short row shaping in the shoulders, and gradual decreases down to the underarm. Once front and back are joined, this modified drop-shoulder piece keeps the knitter's attention with a slip-stitch broken rib detail at the sides and back hem, and a sweet pocket on the front.

This playful, feminine pullover in Shelter features an airy, flared skirt that visually narrows the hips. Traditional lace motifs leaven the classic gansey texture of cables and moss stitch. The body is worked in the round to the underarms; the upper front and back are knit flat. Exaggerated drop shoulders create an embellishment at the upper arm, and since the sleeves are worked downward, the braided cable appears to flow down to the cuff instead of climbing. Short-row gussets with fashioned decreases shape the upper shoulders and neckline.

Distinctive side and shoulder details make this reverse stockinette pullover fly true. Narrow columns of crossed stitches travel up the sides and beneath the sleeves to flow into the raglan lines at the yoke, with tendrils of crossed stitches joining the confluence to form a striking pattern. Fletching is worked in Shelter from the single-ribbed hem and cuffs upward, entirely in the round and from written instructions only. Long lines and waist shaping make this pullover elegant as well as comfortable.

The history of the dust jacket can be traced back to the mid-19th century as a means to shield books from dust and wear. As the 19th century progressed, publishers began to recognize the potential of the outer book cover as a promotional tool. For two more centuries, the dust jacket would continue to evolve and remains one of the most collectible assets of a book. The Dust Jacket Kit pays homage to its humble beginnings. The jacket body is worked in our sweet Chickadee using the linen stitch. The piece can be customized to fit your most treasured literary masterpiece.

A trip to an iconic Fifth Ave, New York menswear shop brought about an idea for a classic rib beanie worked in luxurious, semi-bulky, yet lightweight Osprey yarn. Adding one (or two) stitches in the wide rib all around can change the style back to a man's hat (where you borrowed it from his shelf in the first place).

The inception of designer Pam Allen's The Wren Collection, started with the Clemons pants. Holding two strands of DK weight Wren together, the pants have structure and yet are irresistibly soft and bouncy. The pants are worked in one piece in the round from the waist to the base of the crotch, then the stitches are divided for working the legs separately in the round to the lower edges. The pant legs are shown in a slightly cropped, above-the-ankle length, but leg length is adjustable. We personally love the cropped length as it showcases the unique raw-edged hem.

This pattern is available for FREE with any purchase of Stone Wool Border Leicester . Alice is a squishy-soft, generously sized crescent shawl, knitted in yarn spun from Border Leicester, a lustrous, soft and silky fiber. Worked mostly in humble garter stitch, it makes a buoyant, inviting shawl for wrapping up in. The border’s lace pattern requires working the pattern on every row, not just right-side rows. But take heart: There aren’t so many stitches in the border panel and the knitting steps are predictable.
