Easy Knitted Diagonal Lace Wrap

Leave a reply

Easy to knit lace wrapThis was an easy and fun lace wrap to knit up.

I used Lana Grossa Chiara (3 skeins) with dye lot 9130531 and colorway 023. I’d call the color golden eggshell or champagne. The yarn is just beautiful. You have to see it to understand.

The pattern by Churchmouse Yarns & Teas can be found on Ravelry. My finished knitted lace wrap measures 11 x 70 inches. Size 8 circular needles were used. The yarn is soft and luxurious, and it blocked beautifully. This would be a fabulous pattern to knit up as a special gift. You can actually manage it while watching an interesting TV program. Some charts are too difficult to allow you to do that.

Free Knitting Pattern – Shoots and Ladders Hat

8 Replies

At Christmas, my mother seemed a little disappointed that she did not receive a hat to go with the scarf I gave her; therefore, I have made her a hat which she’ll receive on her birthday in a couple of weeks.

If you’d like to make this hat, I’ve provided the pattern in a downloadable pdf.

I think I’m more impressed with my ability to hold up the camera and take a picture of myself than I am with the fact that I created a new knitting pattern.  How do I do it? :-)

Knitting a Luxurious Spiral Scarf

Knitted Mohair Curly Ruffled ScarfMy mother will get this soft spiral scarf of Lion Brand Moonlight Mohair (Coral Reef #510-207) for Christmas.

You can find the free pattern for this spiral scarf at the Lion Brand website. Download it here (#50193-1K).

The pattern actually calls for two yarns, the less expensive Homespun and the more costly Moonlight Mohair. I purchased the Moonlight Mohair at the end of the holiday season last year. If you really like this yarn, wait until after the new year to pick it up. You’ll likely find it on sale at your local crafts store.

I used only Moonlight Mohair, which is a very beautiful yarn. Unfortunately, pictures don’t adequately capture fiber color, texture, and quality.

Mixed Blue Hippie ScarfThis long, thin scarf is constructed with two yarns – Berroco Monet (color 3393: dye lot 20775 – now discontinued) and Patons Lacette (color 30128 – now discontinued).

I used size 15 needles (10 stitches cast on) and knitted the entire scarf in garter stitch (both yarns together).

I made extra long and uneven fringe and added a few silver and clear glass beads.

It’s fun casual wear.

Knitted Wavy Ribbed Scarf Pattern

ribbed scarf patternAs seen in the Examiner – Christmas Scarf Wall.

I finally finished this scarf – Wayward Waves! I don’t know why it took me so long. Perhaps, it’s because I actually had to pay attention to the wavy ribbed scarf pattern.

I’m providing the pattern in case you’d like a knitting project that you can’t do while watching something interesting on TV. :-)

Notice that the front and back of the scarf have very different patterns. I don’t know which I like better. It’s because the patterns are so rich that I decided to use a light-colored yarn. Also, I like how the last row segments the scarf into blocks.

Yarn used: Bernat Satin (color 04010 – Camel)

Needles: size 9

Cast on 28 stitches. Work the pattern below until the scarf is the length you desire. (I used 2 skeins to get the length I wanted.)

Pattern (consists of 24 rows):

Row 1: K3, *P2,  K2: repeat from *, end with P2, K3.

Row 2: Pearl the knit stitches and knit the pearl stitches. DO THIS FOR ALL EVEN ROWS, EXCEPT FOR ROW 24.

Row 3: K3, *P2,  K2: repeat from *, end with P2, K3.

Row 5: K3, *P2,  K2: repeat from *, end with P2, K3.

Row 7: K3, *P6, K2; repeat from *, end with P6, K3.

Row 9: K3, *P6, K2; repeat from *, end with P6, K3.

Row 11: K3, *P6, K2; repeat from *, end with P6, K3.

Row 13: K3, *P2,  K2: repeat from *, end with P2, K3.

Row 15: K3, *P2,  K2: repeat from *, end with P2, K3.

Row 17: K3, *P2,  K2: repeat from *, end with P2, K3.

Row 19: K3, P2, *K2, P6; repeat from *, end with K2, P2, K3.

Row 21: K3, P2, *K2, P6; repeat from *, end with K2, P2, K3.

Row 23: K3, P2, *K2, P6; repeat from *, end with K2, P2, K3.

Row 24: Repeat row 23 – this is what makes the pattern blocks.
