An easy free knitting pattern, you can almost finish in a one-night sitting. Pattern instructions are now available in eleven (11) different languages, and the English version accommodates Aran, worsted, OR sport yarn,  great for stash-busting, too. With variegated yarns, you can knit more than one pair and mix and match, if one is lost. I just love this fingerless mitts pattern, hope you will, too.

Top-down cardigan pattern, infant to 4XL, WOW!

Just discovered this top-down cardigan knitting pattern from Tin Can Knits. It's a very versatile design, easy pattern, and is written in sizes infant to 4XL. The sweater pattern is called "Harvest" and it is a free pattern. The unisex design is a great school sweater for children, minus the pin. What a great way to begin your fall knitting with a one-piece, no sewing up sweater! That's right, once it's off the needles, this cardi is finished! With a very generous plus-size range, it is equally a generous gift from the designer.

New knitting designs from dishcloth stitch patterns

Years ago, knitnscribble realized after knitting the old smocked dishcloth that favorite stitch patterns could be used to knit new original designs. Pattern stitches aren't just meant for dishcloths; they can actually serve as big swatches of inspiration.

This morning, I stumbled across these lovely baby blankets on Instagram knit by Norwegian, Strikkly Speaking, and realized the stitch was the same as Windbreaker, the sweater I had just finished. The star stitch has been relaxed in the blanket to achieve a softness desired for baby.
