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.

Ankler’s Summer Shirt

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, we recommend Sandnes Garn Line for a light blend of cotton, linen and viscose.

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.

Create Your Own PetiteKnit Cloud Sweater

Cloud Sweater by PetiteKnit

The Cloud Sweater in this super pretty pink … and it might be the perfect three-season sweater (fall-winter-spring). We made it with Drops Air in a pretty light pink, which is great all year but maybe fits nicely with the early spring.

Construction

Cloud Sweater is worked from the top down. First the back yoke is worked back and forth while german short rows are worked to shape the shoulders. Then each shoulder is worked separately, back and forth and with short rows. The shoulders are then 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. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. The sleeves are worked in the round. At the end, the stockinette stitch funnel neckline is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck opening.

Size

We made size XXS. It’s designed to be worn with extra ease, the smallest size starts at a 40″ bust.

  • Ease: Cloud Sweater is designed to have approx. 25 cm [9¾ inches] of positive ease in the smaller sizes and then gradually less positive ease in the larger sizes.
  • Sizes: XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL)
  • Bust circumference: 102 (108) 113 (118) 122 (127) 136 (146) 153 (162) cm [40¼ (42½) 44½ (46½) 48 (50) 53½ (57½) 60¼ (63¾) inches]

Creative Crazy Cats Pullover: A Knitting Pattern for Cat Lovers

Crazy Cats Pullover

You don’t see a sweater like the Crazy Cats Pullover every day …. unless you have a home full of cats, in which case you’ve probably got a lot of inspiration. I especially love the version people made with the coloured cats (the turquoise cats on a yellow background is stunning).

  • Finished Bust: 35 (38, 41, 45, 49, 52.5, 58.5) inches OR 89 (97, 104, 115, 125, 134) cm

Needles & Materials

Yarn

The pattern calls for a sport-weight yarn, and I think Drops Alpaca will make a perfect cat sweater, especially because it’s soft and drapey. Pure Alpaca tends to be pretty stretchy, so I think you can make the sweater on 3mm/US2.5 needles, and it will come out nicely. Choose a high contrast between your cat and background colours to really make them POP!

Drops Alpaca

  • Main colour: 6 (7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11) balls
  • Cat Colour: 2 balls

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.

A person viewed from the back wearing a striped sweater in navy and cream colors, with their hair styled in a loose bun. They are standing on a cobblestone street, surrounded by bicycles and greenery.

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.
