“A Touch of Something..” – versatile to wear e.g. as a reversible loop / hooded scarf / shoulder warmer.

One size – easy to knit.

The PDF pattern contains images from the image gallery.

These basic knitting skills are needed:
casting on stitches, knit and purl stitches, knit 2 stitches together, increase 1 stitch, knitting in the round, binding off.


We need:
just under 50 g Austermann Kid Silk (75% kid mohair, 25% silk 25 g/LL 225 m (hand wash) needle size 3–4; used here: circular knitting needle 3.5, stitch marker, yarn needle for weaving in ends, measuring tape, scissors

For beginning knitters, I recommend suitably thin (lace) yarns without mohair.

With how warm it is right now, you’d really never guess that winter is coming soon. Here, today feels more like a summer day. But still, it doesn’t hurt to get ready for colder temperatures ahead of time.
How about a set of a hat, scarf, and wrist warmers?

You can find it here.




Today the wrist warmers, tomorrow the hat, and then the scarf during the week. Or something like that :-) All three accessories feature the same lace pattern, which is explained in a tutorial. They’re knitted from sock yarn.

A headband is easy to finish in a weekend. Maybe even one for the whole family. This is a very quick and simple project—made from soft merino wool, it’s wonderfully soft and comfortable to wear.

You can find the pattern here.




Suitable for beginners—the pattern consists entirely of knit and purl stitches.

• 50 g (1 skein) Cool Wool by Lana Grossa (yardage 160 m/50 g) 100% virgin wool
• Knitting needles size 3.0
• 1 snap fastener (e.g. jersey snap fastener with prong ring)
• included tool for attaching snap fasteners plus a hammer or snap fastener pliers
• thick sewing needle without a point
• Scissors
• Tape measure
  

This "Zackenloop" could be an interesting weekend project,
as it’s quite enjoyable to knit.

It is knitted with 100 g of yarn with a yardage of 420 m/100 g,
using size 3 knitting needles.

The technique is explained step by step, including pictures,
