Nook 2 – The Corner Loop
Since the first Nook was so much fun and was very well-received, here’s a second version.
Instead of simply knitting in garter stitch, we’ve added a seed stitch pattern in the corners and ribbing in the center section. This ribbing causes the Nook to cinch in at the center, so it fits perfectly around the neck and keeps you cozy and warm.
This loop is also suitable for beginners, but it’s varied enough that even experienced knitters will enjoy it.
We knit using only knit stitches and purl stitches and increases. (As a consolation for those who don’t like purl stitches… there are plenty more knit stitches ;-) )
The ribbing should pull together nice and tight. That’s why I knitted this with size 6 needles instead of size 7 as indicated.
I’ve since knitted this loop several times with different yarns.
Almost any yarn works, but needle sizes 4–6 are best. The measurements in cm are listed in the pattern, and it’s easy to adjust them to fit your yarn.
