Resolution 2013: A Year of Free Knitting Patterns and Monthly KALs for Scarves, Hats, and More

Resolution 2013

My New Years' resolution for 2013 is to actually publish the back log of patterns I've been dreaming up for years now. At the beginning of each month in 2013 I'll release a new pattern available for free as a KAL for one month; and for purchase the month after. I'll also release it as an update to this eBook. If you'd like to join the KAL for the year, download the eBook at any point and you'll get updates for all the patterns.

Freya

Freya is a beautifully versatile scarf designed to showcase bulky yarn in a simple lace pattern with a variety of finishing options. She is easy to knit, quick to work up, and warm on winter days and mornings and nights year-round. Freya is the first pattern in my Resolution - 2013 eBook, a series of 12 patterns released monthly in 2013. The pattern will be made available for free as a KAL on January 1st, 2013. An updated pattern with images will be uploaded after the KAL and available for purchase on February 1st, 2013. Materials: 140 yards bulky weight yarn (1 skein Cascade Covington) Size 10 knitting needles, straight or circular 3 buttons - %"-1" diameter (optional) Cast on 23 stitches. Cast on provisionally if you plan to graft ends together to form an infinity scarf. P2tog-b=p2tog tbl Row 1: \*K1, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, ssk, k1\*, (k1, rep \* to \*)twice Row 2: \*p2tog-b, yo, p3, yo, p2tog\*, (p1, rep \* to \*) twice Row 3: \*K1, yo, ssk, k1, k2tog, yo, k1\*, (k1, rep \* to \*)twice Row 4: \*p2, yo p3tog, yo, p2\*, (p1, rep \* to \*) twice Repeat rows 1-4 until you reach your desired length. I knit until I used an entire skein of Cascade Covington yarn, about 140 yards. Finish: Simple scarf: cast off. Buttoned scarf: cast off. Attach buttons at even spacing on one end of scarf - 1 button at each % of the width of the scarf, as pictured. Infinity scarf: place live stitches from provisional cast on on separate needle. Graft ends together using Kitchener stitch - Knitty.com has a particularly useful tutorial here: http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer04/FEATthe resasum04.html Block loosely and enjoy! Resolution - 2013 February - Mountain

Mountain - page 3 2013 Carisa Chang - Stranded

Mountain

Mountain is a simple take on the classic beanie. An overall stitch pattern is a variation on basket weave stitches, with a purl background lending some softness to the structure and intermittent knit stitches providing direction and tiny pockets of air underneath to hold in warmth. The crown decreases are worked in a no slant double decrease, pulling the pattern inward in a gentler spiral than the typical k2tog decrease method. Worked in DK weight yarn, Mountain is a warm but not-too-warm hat for brisk Fall and Spring days. Or, if you're in the Pacific Northwest, the entire year! Stitch pattern looks best in solid or slightly variegated yarn, but is lost in highly variegated yarn (such as self-striping yarn). Mountain is the second pattern in my Resolution - 2013 eBook, a series of 12 patterns released monthly in 2013. The pattern will be made available for free as a KAL on February 1"t, 2013. An updated pattern with images will be uploaded after the KAL and available for purchase on March 1st, 2013.

To prevent creasing while blocking you can either rotate the hat as it dries flat, or block it on a rounded object such as a ball or balloon. Resolution - 2013 March - Nimue

Nimue

Nimue is a set of fingerless gloves featuring intricately worked twisted stitch cables, reminiscent of delicate Celtic knotworks. Rows of twisted stitches run up the inner arm and onto the palm of the gloves, providing visual interest and flexible shaping through the wrist and hand. The cable is a deceptively simple 6 row repeat, accessible to cable beginners and experts alike. Nimue is the third pattern in my Resolution - 2013 eBook, a series of 12 patterns released monthly in 2013. The pattern will be made available for free as a KAL on March 1st, 2013. An updated pattern with images will be uploaded after the KAL and available for purchase on April 1st, 2013.

Leigh

Leigh is a gently spiraling shawl worked sideways, alternating stockinette and lace sections in a simple yet elegant design. Increases on every row and decreases on alternate rows give this shawl a slow spiral shape. Worked sideways from one tip, Leigh is infinitely resizable and can be made with as little or as much yarn as desired. For an interesting variation, use one color for the stockinette sections and another for the lace sections. tern in my Resolution - 2013 eBook, a series of 12 patterns released monthly in 201

Materials:

Sock/fingering weight yarn - Malabrigo Sock in 850 (Archangel) - 440 yds used in shawl pictured Circular needle, size 6/7 - 7 used for shawl pictured yarn needle for finishing

Gauge:

10 sts x 14 rows = 2" in stockinette Size: One size (varies by amount of yarn used)

Stockinette Pattern:

Row 1: kfb, k to end. Row 2: p2tog, p to last stitch, end pfb.

Lace Pattern:

Row 1: kfb, \*yo, slip 1 purlwise, k1, yo, psso both k and yo\*, repeat \* to \* till end. Row 2 and 4: p2tog, \*drop yo, p2\*, repeat \* to \* until end, ending with pfb. (row 2 will always end p1, pfb) Row 3: kfb, k1, \*yo, slip 1 purlwise, k1, yo, psso both k and yo\*, repeat \* to \* till end. NOTE: be certain to include last yo in final psso, or you will not have enough stitches

Directions:

Cast on 3 stitches. Work in stockinette pattern until there are eleven stitches on the needle. Work 8 rows in lace pattern. Alternate 8 rows stockinette and 8 rows lace until you reach your desired size (ending with a stockinette section). Weave in ends. See finishing notes.

Finishing Notes:

Because Leigh is worked in stockinette stitch, it will roll at the bottom and sides unless blocked. If you would prefer a more rigid edge, alter all even rowsasfollows: Begin k2tog, end kfb. This will create garter edges that will hold the shawl flat. I still recommend blocking to open the lace pattern. Resolution - 2013 May - Julia

Julia - page 10 2013 Carisa Chang - Stranded

Julia

Julia is an infinity scarf, worked in the round from the bottom up. Garter stitch stripes are pulled into an undulating wave by section of long, criss-crossed slipped stitches. It showcases variegated colorways and yarns with varied thickness particularly well. Julia can be worn in one loop, falling to mid-torso, wrapped around the neck twice for snug warmth, or wrapped once around the neck and once around the head to do double duty as a scarf and earwarmer. The photos features are made in Borroco Boboli but could be made in any single ply worsted weight yarn. Julia is the fifth pattern in my Resolution - 2013 eBook, a series of 12 patterns released monthly in 2013.

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn 200-250yds- Berroco Boboliused inphotos Circular needle, size 7 yarn needle for finishing stitch marker

Gauge:

not necessary for this pattern Size: One size

Instructions:

Cast on 168 stitches. Join to work in round. Place stitch marker at start of round. Row 1, 3, 7, 9: knit all. Row 2, 4, 8, 10: purl all. Row 5 and 11: K all stitches, wrapping yarn around needle 4 times for each stitch. You will have 4 yarn overs held in each stitch Row 6: Work Cross 8 pattern across entire row. Row 12: Work Cross 8 edge pattern, then work Cross 8 pattern until 4 stitches are left, complete Cross 8 edge pattern. Work rows 1-12 twice. Work rows 1-6. Bind off. Weave in ends.

Cross 8 pattern:

Slip next 8 stitches to the right needle, dropping the extra yarn wraps. You will have 8 long loops on the right needle. Insert the left needle into the front of the first four (right-most) loops and pass them over the other loops and back onto the left needle. Move the remaining 4 loops back to the left needle. You will now have 8 stitches back on the left needle, but with the first 4 now after the second 4. Purl all 8 stitches.

Cross 8 edge pattern:

This is worked over the end of the round. Remove stitch marker. Slip last 4 stitches of previous round to the left needle, dropping the extra yarn wraps. Slip stitches back to right needlepurlwise. Slip first 4 stitches of the next round from the left needle to the right needle, dropping extra yarn wraps. Cross stitches as in the Cross 8 pattern, placing the stitches you pass over on the left needle and leaving the passed over stitches on the right needle. Replace the stitch marker between the 2 sets of 4 slipped stitches. Purl the 4 stitches on the left needle. Follow instructions until final 4 stitches. Purl final 4 stitches.

Pluvia

Pluvia is named for the delicate, beautiful, shower stitch that makes up the lace section of this versatile bolero. Worked in DK yarn, Pluvia provides just the right amount of warmth for Spring and Summer, the perfect accent to a strapless summer dress. A rectangle of lace is grafted at the ends to make sleeves, then the collar is picked up from the edge and worked in the round. A quick and easy knit, Pluvia is a perfect weekend project. The photographed model is made from a bamboo/wool blend but would be just as Spring-y in a cotton, linen or pure wool yarn as well. Pluvia is the sixth pattern in my Resolution - 2013 eBook, a series of 12 patterns released monthly in 2013. The pattern will be made available for free as a KAL on June 1st, 2013. An updated pattern with images will be uploaded after the KAL and available for purchase on July 1st, 2013.

Resolution - 2013 June - Pluvia

Body construction:

With size 7 needles, cast on 100 stitches using your preferred provisional cast on. Leave a 10" tail. Knit 3 rows. Work rows 1-8 of lace pattern 5 times. Check the fit of your work by wrapping the piece around your upper arm. If there is %- %" gap, you are done. If there is a considerable gap, you can repeat the lace pattern as needed. Each repeat adds 1 %". Knit 4 rows. Move live stitches on to waste yarn, break live yarn leaving 10" tail for grafting. Wet block the lace section to open up the lace pattern.

Finishing:

Once it is dry, fold your lace rectangle lengthwise. On each end, place 14 stitches from your provisional cast on onto one needle, and 14 live stitches from the end of your lace section on another needle. Graft these stitches together and weave in ends. Now it is time to work the collar edging. Set up row: Knit 72 remaining provisional stitches onto size 5 circular needle, pick up an knit 2 stitches from grafted arm, knit 72 live stitches from live edge, pick up and knit 2 stitches from grafted arm section, join to work in round. Work 12 rows in k1, p1 ribbing. Bind off loosely and weave in ends.

Trellis

Trellis is a simple yet elegant stole meant to wrap the shoulders on late summer nights and into early fall. The straight knit columns are divided by slanting lacework, reminiscent of the trellis of sweet peas my mother keeps each year. The lace pattern is a 4 stitch repeat, quick to memorize, and easy to knit during a delightfully busy summer. Stole in pictures was made with Manos del Uruguay Maxima in Chartreuse. Trellis is the seventh pattern in my Resolution - 2013 eBook, a series of 12 patterns released monthly in 2013. The pattern was meant to be made available for free as a KAL from July 1st-July 31t, 2013.
