Can't Stop.................

Wish I could knit 24 hours a day!  There are so many great FREE patterns

available now for us house bound folks.

Here are just a few I'm going to try and work into my day-

Designed by Nikki Ross Patterson-- love me some socks!

This is a pattern that is suitable for top down or toe-up construction. Knitters can use their preferred toe and heel construction, and I have provided helpful links to different heel and toe treatments.

Stitches used are Knit, Purl, Yarn Over, SSK, and K2tog. Toe-up construction will need M1L and M1R. Pattern is both written and charted for each size. Please note that even though the stitch pattern includes Yarn Overs, it is still suitable for men OR women.

The sock is available in 4 sizes:
Teen fingering/Adult sport,
Adult Medium,
Adult Large

Materials: Fingering weight yarn, 400-460 yards to 100 grams (56-stitch Adult Sport requires 200-250 yds)

Needles US size 1 (2.25mm) for fingering weight or size US 3 (3.25mm) for sport weigh

Another mystery designed by Nikki Ross Patterson

Suitable for a solid, color-changing, subtly patterned yarn, or scraps if they will do approximately 5 rows.

Mystery Item is One Size Fits Most teen - adult, and Unisex suitable. Possibly could be made to fit a middler child if done in DK weight with size 4 (3.25mm) needles.

Gauge isn’t crucial, but must be ballpark to ensure fit. Go up or down a needle size or move up to Aran or down to Worsted weight if necessary to ensure fit. DPNs recommended, but will work on a 16” circular, though DPNs will be needed for decreases.

The project will take almost the entire skein of yarn. If you want a pom-pom, I would wait to make it until after the rest of the items are knitted, it ensure you will have enough yarn to finish the knitting.

Specific, easy-to-follow instructions take the worry out of construction, and so this pattern could probably be knitted by a fairly new knitter.

Stitches used in hat include: Knit and purl, K2tog, SSK, P2tog, Sk2P, and also M1L, and M1R.

Road Trip designed by Christy Becker--

What fun! Found on Ravelry, of course

Little detours and car damage have all been worked out. But, until it is all polished and while we are all staying safe at home, you can enjoy this pattern for free!

Stay home, save lives, knit on and smile!

Your gauge may vary and so will the size. Adjust your needle size to achieve a fabric you like! If you are using yarn from your stash, you can easily rearrange your colors as you travel along.

I recommend 250 to 300 yards of each.
Color A = Dark
Color B = a medium Pop
Color C = Light (you may like a tonal, tweed or lightly variegated

‘Katie’s Kep’ is a free pattern from Shetland Wool Week, which has

been designed by Wool Week Patron Wilma Malcolmson

I  don't do much intarsia knitting but love the looks of this one!
