Olga Sweater

So, how about a classic sweater you can make for warmer or cooler weather? You can make The Olga Sweater in Sandnes Garn Double Sunday, a merino wool for cooler days, or get into the spring of things with an all-season yarn like Sandnes Garn Line.

Description

The Olga Sweater is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch with stripes. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth with the slope of the shoulders being shaped using short rows and in stripes, which are worked at the same time. Each shoulder is then worked back and forth on a circular needle, and then the shoulders are joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle with stripes. The sleeves are worked down from stitches that are picked up and knitted around the armholes. At the end, a folded neck edge is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neckline.

Size guide
The Olga Sweater is designed to have approx. 23 cm [9 inches] of positive ease in the smaller sizes and then gradually less positive ease in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished sweater are listed on the front page of the pattern. Please note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is maintained throughout. Measure yourself before starting your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 95 cm [37½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size M. A size M sweater has a bust circumference of 118 cm [46½ inches] which in the given example would give you 23 cm [9 inches] of positive ease.

Yarn Suggestions

This pattern is made with a wool, but I thinkyou could just as easily make it in a cotton for the warmer weather.

Needles

Because there are so many sizes required, we recommend interchangeable needles for this project. 40cm/16″ needles require the shorter 3.5″/4″ tips, and the longer needle lengths will use 4.5″/5″ tips. You can purchase individual tips and cords from KnitPro, or invest in a set from either KnitPro or Chiaogoo.

Something new from PetiteKnit … The Frankie Sweater! My preferred yarn for this project is Sandnes Garn Double Sunday, a soft merino crepe that knits beautifully and won’t itch.

Sophie Hood: Cozy Scarf with a Twist

Leave a reply
A mannequin displays a knitted Sophie Hood, featuring a vibrant red hood and a gray body, showcasing its unique design.

Sophie Hood

We made a Sophie Hood! This hooded scarf was one of the most popular projects last winter, and its going to continue to be a people pleaser again this year. Sophie Hood is similar to the simpler Sophie Shawl, but it has a hood to keep you warm when the wind blows up. It’s great for people who don’t like hats because they mess up their hair. It’s also a great gift for anyone who wears a ceremonial head covering and a conventional hat doesn’t work.

We used one strand of Sandnes Garn Double Sunday held with another strand of Drops Kid Silk. The combination creates a soft, fuzzy texture that also has some density and warmth to it. I prefer to choose two colours that are close together to create depth and dimension.

We made a size small, but I feel that the scarf ends are a bit short, and I think the medium or large is the way to go.

Close-up of a bright red hooded scarf, known as the Sophie Hood, draped on a mannequin. The scarf features a cozy hood and a soft, textured appearance, made from a blend of yarn.

Construction

The Sophie Hood is worked in one piece from tip to tip. It is worked flat, back and forth, in garter stitch with built-in i-cord edges. The hood is shaped using increases and decreases, and its back is sewn together at the end, using mattress stitch along the back of the neck.

Size

We made size S. The hood section is the same for all sizes, but the length is different depending the size you make. You can see pictures of the different sizes in the Pattern on Ravelry.

  • Sizes: S (M) L
  • Length from hood to tip: approx. 102 (128) 154 cm [40¼ (50½) 60¾ inches]
  • Depth of hood: approx. 24 (24) 24 cm [9½ (9½) 9½ inches]

Other Yarn Options

If you’re reluctant to knit with two strands together, try a yarn like Drops Air, that is already fuzzy. If you want a yarn that changes colour by itself, try Berroco Wizard.

Easy Summer Knits: Tip Top Tank & Ankler’s Summer Shirt

Leave a reply

Tip Top Tank

This FREE tank top is designed to be an easy summer knit, and is the perfect simple project for warmer weather. The deep V neck is flattering to wear without being too revealing, and the straps are wide enough to hide your bra straps (hello practical!). Throw it on with shorts or a breezy skirt on a hot day, pair it with jeans in Autumn, or even make up a woolly version to wear as a vest over shirts in the cooler months.

The pattern includes instructions to knit it flat on straight needles, as well as in the round on circulars (woohoo no seams!). And with clear and simple instructions, both options would be suitable for first-time garment knitters who have tackled the basics of knitting and purling, and are up for learning some fun new techniques! The body is knit from the bottom up, and the length is easily customizable with suggestions for a cute crop as well as a longer version, making it a fantastic wardrobe staple.

I figured we can all use something to look forward to, and the seasons’ changing is one of those things you can always bank on (at least in Canada – we have A LOT of weather). Anker’s Summer Shirt is a simple summer top, worked in one piece from the top down. The yoke is worked in sections of rib with increases in the round, followed by classic raglan increases when the stockinette stitch section begins. The sleeves are worked at the end, either on double-pointed needles or on circular needles using the Magic Loop technique. Anker’s Summer Shirt has no finishing other than weaving in ends.

  • Ease: The shirt is designed to have approx. 0-5 cm – [0-2 inches] – of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 0-5 cm – [0-2 inches] larger in circumference than your widest upper body measurement.
  • Measurements: The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is kept). Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust (or your widest upper body part) to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 95 cm [37½ inches] you should knit a size M. A size M shirt has a finished circumference of 96 cm [37¾ inches], which in the given example would mean 1 cm [½ inches] of positive ease.

Yarn Options

Anker’s Summer Shirt is make with a Double Knitting weight yarn, and any of the following are all great choices, depending on what kind of garment you want.

Needles & Etc

Because there are several needles length required, this project is a good candidate for Interchangeable knitting needles. Also, if you aren’t great with double pointed needles you can substitute Chiaogoo 12″ circular needles or Addi Easy Knit 10″ needles.

Sauvie is worked from the top down. Back is worked first to base of armhole, then front shoulders are picked up and worked down. Fronts and back are joined and worked to hem. Neck and arm trims are picked up and worked in 1×1 rib. Front bands are picked up and worked in double-knit. Choose the size with 1-4” / 2.5-10 cm of positive ease.

Versatile Sabai Sweater: Perfect for Spring and Summer with Sandes Garn Line

Leave a reply

Sabai Sweater

Last week I shared the Sabai Top wiht you, and you guys were totally into it, so when I came across the Sabai Sweater I figured you may want to see that too.

The pattern details suggest 4mm/US6 needles and fingering weight yarn, but the pattern tension is 21 stitches which is not very fingering weight, and I think this would be a perfect spring/summer top to make with Sandnes Garn Line, whose tension is 20 to 21 stitches on 4mm/US6 needles.

The style is a bit oversized (see the measurements below), so if you are petite and need a sweater that’s a little smaller I’d consider going to a thinner yarn like Berroco Remix Light or Berroco Modern Cotton DK – both are great summer yarns that knit at a smaller gauge.

Details

The Sabai Sweater is a simple pullover with a boat neck. It has a loose fit and relatively narrow sleeves for contrast—oversized yet elegant. The sweater is very easy to knit, requiring only a few techniques, making it ideal for beginners. It can be worked from either cotton or a lightweight virgin wool-cashmere blend and is a perfect companion for spring and summer in both versions.

Construction

The Sabai Sweater is worked seamlessly top down. First, the neckline is worked and increases are made for the shoulder slope. The neckline can be worked with (right picture) or without (left picture) short rows, depending on the desired level of difficulty. For beginners, I recommend the version without short rows. For the armholes, front and back are each worked separately back and forth. Then the stitches of front and back are joined together and the body is worked in the round until the sweater has reached the desired length. For the sleeves, stitches are picked up from the side edges of front and back and sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch.

Techniques

Size

  • Chest circumference: 102 (110) 116 (124) 132 (142) cm / 40.2 (43.3) 45.7 (48.8) 52 (55.9)”
  • Total length:51 (53) 55 (57) 60 (64) cm / 20.1 (20.9) 21.7 (22.4) 23.6 (25.2)”
  • The sweater should have a positive ease of approx. 20 cm / 7.9”. For larger sizes (XL and XXL), slightly less positive ease of about 15 cm / 5.9” is recommended. For example, if you have a chest circumference of 94 cm / 37”, you should knit size M.
  • Model is 1.76 m / 5’9” tall and a chest circumference of 89 cm / 35”, wearing the sweater in size S (natural white) and size M (dark blue).

SABAI Top Knitting Pattern | Ideal for Beginners | Knit with Sandes Garn Line

Leave a reply

Sabai

The SABAI top is a light and airy summer top with a boat neckline. It’s super easy to knit, requires only a few techniques and is therefore ideal for beginners. You can make it with the ribbed collar or just stocking stitch for a simpler rolled edge. I recommend using a DK weight cotton blend like Sandnes Garn Line, for a light, cool, easily washable summer knit.

Construction

The SABAI top is worked seamlessly top down. First, the neckline border is worked in the round in a 1/1 rib stitch pattern and increases are worked for the slanted shoulders. For the armholes, front and back parts are worked separately back and forth. The stitches of front and back are then joined and worked in the round again. The top ends with a narrow ribbed border with a rolled edge. As the top is knitted from the top down, it is possible (and advisable) to try it on while knitting so that the length can be individually adjusted.

  • The top can be worn snug with approx. 0 – 2 cm / 0 – 0.8” positive ease, but also works well with a little more room to move (5 – 8 cm / 2 – 3.2” positive ease). For example, if you have a chest circumference of 90 cm / 35.4”, you should choose between size S and M.

Sabai Top

The SABAI top is a light and airy summer top with a boat neckline. It’s super easy to knit, requires only a few techniques and is therefore ideal for beginners. You can make it with the ribbed collar or just stocking stitch for a simpler rolled edge. I recommend using a DK weight cotton blend like Sandnes Garn Line, for a light, cool, easily washable summer knit
