I love this time of year.. still warm enough that no jacket s needed but night are perfect for cozy shawls and playing with yarn... about the time of year I start wearing my fingerless gloves at night too.. I keep a pair in my car to year round.. great for grabbing a hot steering wheel..
with this in mind here are a couple of patterns to help enjoy this wonderful time of year..
stop by my Etsy shop to take advantage of my hat sale going on now ( sale ends 10/14/17 )
Etsy shop
Now the patterns...
The larger needle size makes these very quick and easy,great for last minute gift. The ribbing gives them enough stretch to fit a wide range of hand sizes. Beads add a bit of flare but are optional.
1 by 1’s fingerless gloves
Both gloves are made the same
Size 10 US dpns needles
Gauge 4.5 stitches by 5.5 rows per inch
50 yards of sport weight yarn ( for both )
26 size 11 clear seed beads
k = knit
m1 = make new stitch by picking up bar between stitches and knit through the back loop
p = purl
1 by 1 ribbing = knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch, repeat. Always purling the purl stitches and knitting the knit stitches. Continue in this manner
** repeat instructions to end of round
Cast on 26 stitches using alternating knit one purl one long tail method after placing 13 beads on thumb side off cast on tail sliding beads in place with the purl stitches, join in the round
1 - 7 ) *1 by 1*
8 ) k1, m1, p1, *1 by 1*
9 ) *1 by 1*
10 - 13 ) repeat rows 8 and 9 twice more
14 - 16 ) *1 by 1*
17 ) Bind off 6 stitches in 1 by 1, *1 by 1* turn ( next few rows are knit flat )
18 ) *1 by 1* turn
19 ) *1 by 1* rejoin in the round knitting
20 - 26 ) *1 by 1*
Bind off in 1 by 1, weave in ends
mindless knit shawl
I used worsted weight yarn as well as some fun fur and other novelty yarns
the needles were a size 11 US
1) k1, yo, knit to the last stitch, yo, k1
2 ) knit until the center stitch yo, knit center stitch, yo, knit to end
I kept knitting until I liked the size ..... this one was huge, felt like wrapping up in a cozy blanket ... I have since made them in all sizes.. smaller ones double quite well as a scarf
I will admit to putting in a bit of thought but not much lol...... I knew I would be using at lot of different yarns so to keep things even ( sort of ) I added the novelty yarns on the "wrong" side as well as the variegated yarn....
by even I mean, not all of the ends of the added in yarns were on the same side, there for the thickness that weaving the ends adds was on both edges.... in my latter shawls I started to join my yarns instead of weaving in.. so much easier and only two ends to deal with :) see post with video on fast way of joining yarn here not my video but love this method used it often. Work the last stitch of a row before yarn change.. cut yarn very close to end of stitch.. remove stitch and join new yarn.. your new yarn should start at the end or middle of the stitch.. done.. no extra weight, join is hidden in stitch... if you don't mind change overs mid row join before you start to knit shawl ... making the change over random can result in some very interesting projects...
