PROJECT Dumpling Bag

Leave a reply

Dumpling Bag

I’ll be honest, I think I fell in love with the Dumpling Bag because of it’s name … I might have been hungry at the time. Still, the FREE pattern is a great little one-skein summer project. It’s portable, perfect for short trips, not a big investment of time or money, and it’s SO CUTE! Plus, it makes a great project bag to take your knitting along (ya know, for those long walks in the park so you can knit on the go). It’s also super giftable, so you can make up a few of them and give them away as the occasion arises.

You can make it in a smooth, solid coloured yarn like Berroco Modern Cotton DK, and textured, tweedy yarn Berroco Remix Light, or a sensational multi-coloured yarn like Berroco Vivo. You can also try a super-soft, textured cotton like Berroco Pima Soft (which is ON SALE 20% OFF).

A light, soft cotton or cotton blend is perfect for making a bag:

PROJECTS Two Summer Tops

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.

Ankler’s Summer Shirt

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.

STRIPE-SPIRATION

Stripe Hype Sweater

The Stripe Hype Sweater is a great stash busting project where you can use up scrap yarns or combine your favourite colors in just the way you want. Also, knitting stripes makes this one a really quick project to complete because the curiosity of seeing how every next stripe will affect the overall look is highly addictive, and a lot of fun.The work begins by working the back flat, then stitches are picked up for the left and right front separately and worked flat. The back and front are then joined together and the body is worked in the round. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves and worked in the round and lastly stitches are picked up around the neckline and the collar is worked in a twisted rib stitch.

Stripe Hype Dress

The Stripe Hype dress is a relaxed dress that is the absolute perfect “just-throw-it-on” garment for any season. The dress has a dropped shoulder and a boxy fit which makes it modern and easy to knit.

You can customize it to your exact preferences by choosing your favourite colours: go all in and use multiple colours for a really fun and playful vibe (a great option for using up scrap yarns in your stash), or choose just a few colours in a more toned down colour palette for a more classical look. You can also knit it all in one colour.

Try Berroco Modern Cotton DK, Berroco Remix Light or Berroco Vivo for a lighter spring/summer dress. For something a bit warmer try Sandnes Garn Double Sunday or Berroco Vintage DK for the fall or winter. See below for amounts required.

Construction

The dress is worked top down. The work begins by working the back flat, then stitches are picked up for the left and right front separately and worked flat. The back and front are then joined together and the body is worked in the round while increasing stitches along both side seams around the waist and hips for a slight A-line shape. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves and worked in the round and lastly stitches are picked up around the neckline and the collar is worked in a rib stitch.

SUMMER Knit Tops

Satawal

Satawal is cropped tee with lace pattern around the boat neck, which looks a bit like Macramé texture. You can use various weights of yarn, from fingering weight for airy and transparent texture to worsted weight yarn for mid season garment (I think Berroco Modern Cotton would be perfect).

The pattern is worked seamlessly from the top down. Lace pattern for yoke is worked in the round with increases at the both right and left shoulders, then the body is divided into the front and the back and worked flat separately to the underarm, where they are joined again. The lower body is knitted in one piece in the round. Sleeve stitches are picked up along armholes and worked in the round.

For example, if you measure 89 cm [35 inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S top has a bust circumference of 90 cm 35½ inches which in the given example would give you 1 cm ½ inch of positive ease.

Havin

Havin was originally designed without sleeves, as a slip over … just a great companion for those lovely summer nights. While working on the second sample, the designer thought she would like to try out short sleeves … and yay! it worked well and she really liked the look. This little success was leading to her third sample and LONG sleeves all in one. Havin will make a beautiful summer top, a super cute tee or a cool pullover … a pattern to use all year round.

Berroco Modern Cotton DK or Berroco Remix Light would be perfect for a simple summer top (sleeveless, long or short sleeves). Sandnes Garn Double Sunday, a yarn so popular with the simple constructions of Petite Knit, would be perfect for a top for cooler weather. See below for recommended yardage amounts.

Construction

Havin is worked seamlessly from the top down. Firstly, increases are worked on both RS and WS rows to the final shoulder width. Then both the front and the back are worked (separately) flat to underarm. At underarm both front and back are joined to work the tapered body top down in the round to the bottom. There are two finishing options (ribbing or I-Cord) for the body to choose from. Optional short or long sleeves can be worked by picking up stitches around the arm opening and working them top down in rounds. Optional neck finishing is worked last.

Size

  • 1 (2, 3, 4, 5)(6, 7, 8, 9)
  • Finished bust circumference: 44 (47.25, 50, 53, 55.25)(58, 61, 64, 67)” or 111 (118, 125.5, 133, 138)(145.5, 153, 160, 167.25) cm

Soho Top

Soho Top is a classic sleeveless summer top with a boatneck style neckline. It is constructed from the top down giving it an advantage for adjusting the length of the body. Simple garter stitch is used throughout the pattern. It is worked flat and in the round. Neckline, waist and armhole openings are framed with an i-cord edging and body features decorative “seams” on both sides. Soho Top is meant to be worn with 0 to 7 cm (0” to 3”) of positive ease.

#LookAtMyHoles is a top down, seamless raglan crop top with a simple lace repeat creating large holes all around the garment.

Ship Shape

I love Ship Shape , it’s such a perfect spring/summer knit. The navy stripes are classic, and the neck-line and shoulder detail are simple and elegant. I have a friend who says navy blue is a neutral, but I think that’s bull. Navy is just unassuming, it’s a spy embedded in colour society, it lives under the radar.

Ship Shape is knit seamlessly, top down, beginning with 2 separate pieces for the shoulder gussets. The yoke is a drop shoulder / raglan hybrid, making it perfect for playing with stripes, self striping yarn, or colour blocking! Body and sleeves are knit in the round.

RESTOCK Schoppel Zauberball Cotton

Leave a reply

Schoppel Zauberball Cotton is another yarn that was hard to get a restock during COVID and came in late this year, but we are ever so glad to be reunited!

Schoppel Zauberball Cotton

Schoppel Zauberball Cotton is a wonderfully soft, 100% cotton, self-striping sock yarn with a long colourway/gradient. It’s completely machine washable and perfect for socks, hats, tops, shawls & wraps, blankets – you name it!

One ball is enough to make a pair of socks, or two chemo caps. 1 ball is also enough for many one-ball-shawl wonders.

  • 100% Long Staple Greek Cotton 
  • 100g/420m (460yds)
  • Fingering Weight Sock yarn
  • 2mm to 3mm/US 0 to 3 needles
  • Made in Germany
  • Machine wash

I’m currently working on Elfe using 2 balls of Schoppel Zauberball Cotton in colour 2339 Old Rome (I took pity on it, it seems to be the runt of the litter). I took it with me on my family trip to Rome last month, but the kids and the sights kept me occupied and my knitting didn’t really manifest while I was there.

I’ve opted to knit the top in stripes to make my life easy – I only have two balls and I want 3/4 length sleeves, and matching the ombre colourway for sleeves would be challenging with the yardage limitations. If you want yours ombre you should go for it, I started mine out ombre and it was BEAUTIFUL … just be sure to get an extra ball if you’re going to make sleeves. I have also gone up a needle size in order to eke out the yarn – I liked it knit on 3.5mm/US4 needles, but I’ve gone up to 3.75mm/UD5 needles giving the fabric more give. I’ll like make the top a bit cropped and loose for summer, very casual. I also haven’t bothered with any texture at the neck and am letting it roll naturally. I cast on with a 3mm/US2.5 needle to make it a bit tighter.

This has definitely become a “Haley wings it” type of project, but I’m trying to let go of the outcome, and let go of expectations ….

Just 1 ball makes a light-as-air Ranunculus top (size XS to M – for larger sizes get 2 balls).

 1 ball makes a Chal Alilailas wrap

1 ball is also enough to make a Sparkling Rose shawl
