Pattern Pick: Marine Layers by SweaterBabe
Marine Layersby SweaterBabe For me, mindless knitting is being able to quickly learn a pattern stitch so I no longer refer to the instructions. Both of the stitch patterns in this scarf are easily learned and lend themselves beautifully to a mindless (and fun carry-along) project. They are also just complicated enough to produce impressive [...]
Pattern Pick: Marrakech Blanket by SweaterBabe
Marrakech Blanketby SweaterBabe Blankets are like a playground for interesting stitch patterns. And, I for one, need an interesting stitch pattern if I’m knitting up a baby blanket (and even more so for an adult-sized blanket) or I’ll pass out from boredom! This stitch pattern doesn’t disappoint. It’s comprised of simple cable techniques, is pleasingly [...]
Pattern Pick: Navajo Loop by SweaterBabe
Navajo Loopby SweaterBabe I love the idea of big stoles that you use to blanket your neck and shoulders in luxury and warmth! This stole is precisely that kind of accessory, and it's a nice soothing knit as well. Choose two sophisticated colors, as I did, for a nod towards the huge striping trend. Combine this with [...]
Pattern Pick: Gossamer One-Ball Scarf by SweaterBabe
Gossamer One-Ball Scarfby SweaterBabe When a heavy scarf just won't do, grab this gossamer-weight lace scarf instead! The silk/kid mohair blend lace-weight yarn knit on size 9 needles creates a supremely soft scarf. An open lace panel with gentle peaks along one long edge is contrasted with a bit of garter stitch for lots of textural [...]
Pattern Pick: Genevieve by SweaterBabe
Genevieveby SweaterBabe A pretty all over cable and a super soft yarn in a marled classic grey combine effortlessly for my kind of go-to accessory! This crescent shaped shawl is all that, with a lovely drape as well. The shawl is knit from the top-down with a wide Garter tab. Then, the cable design is knit with [...]

"Don't Ruche Me, I'm Knitting" Scarfby SweaterBabe This scarf is a fairly quick knit, with lovely textured results. It combines lace with some simple shaping techniques to give it beautiful body and structure.

Pattern Pick: Wild Iris Blanket by SweaterBabe
Wild Iris Blanketby SweaterBabe I love this very special lace pattern for its complex-looking results. But, no worries, it's just worked with simple decreases and yarnovers. The end result is an incredibly lovely floral lace design that appears to morph into itself depending on how you look at it! It's a truly beautiful fabric that lends itself [...]
Pattern Pick: Adaline Shawl by SweaterBabe
Adaline Shawlby SweaterBabe Timeless. Ethereal. Singular. These are only some of the words that come to mind with this lovely shawl design. Knit from the top down, this triangular shawl is a must-knit. As shown, it begins with a simple Garter stitch section, which showcases the beauty of your yarn. Increases along the center line and [...]
Pattern Pick: Adela Stole by SweaterBabe
Adela Stoleby SweaterBabe "Adela" means graceful and noble, which makes it a fitting name for this lovely stole. Its silky quality comes from the loosely plied cashmere and merino wool blend yarn worked on a slightly larger needle. The yarn glides between your fingers easily as you work the beautiful lace pattern, which only consists of [...]

The pretty lace pattern is used for both the body and sleeves, giving the cardigan a gently scalloped bottom hem. Knit-in Stockinette stitch side panels shape the fronts. Their angled shapes allow the cardigan to drape [...]
