Some Berries - digital knitting pattern - PDF

Summer is peak butterfly season with warm, sunny weather that sends colorful creatures fluttering through our gardens.
Why not take a closer look at them? Let’s grab a lawn chair, a mojito and your favorite cotton-linen blend, and start knitting a summer tee brimming with butterflies.

“Motyle” (Polish for butterflies) is a simple summer tee with an elegant twist. It is knit seamlessly from the top down with short-row neckline and shoulder shaping. Plenty of increases on both front and back make for a smooth, pucker-free transition between the butterfly shoulder strip and the main part of the garment.
The tee got its name from the intricate butterfly-shaped lace pattern featured on the shoulder bands, with a matching detail at the bottom of the front. Hem and sleeve edges are worked in double knitting for reinforcement and to prevent the fabric from rolling.

Faded knitwear is still very popular, not to mention great for using up single skeins!

This loose-fitting seamless sweater, worked top down with unconventional overlong trumpet sleeves, is your canvas to play with colors.

With the stitch pattern, born out of improvising with increases, I came up when I wanted to create something more intricate, with a unique color scheme and an interesting texture that would appeal to the wild girl in every knitter, too.

Here, you can turn the general idea and technical recommendations for blending colorways into your very own color adventure in knit. Detailed fading instructions are included on page 4 of the pattern. It is up to you to decide whether you’d like to work this garment in one color, emphasizing the texture of the pretty twisted ribbing lines, or from the minimum of three to as many colors as you like from your riotous remnant basket.

“Leoch” is a slightly asymmetric triangular shawl, worked from one tip to a fun loopy i-cord bind off edge and decorated with playful tassels. A combination of an interesting textured pattern, adapted from a stitch pattern from one of Barbara Walker’s books, in conjunction with your good old friend garter stitch, will keep you interested while also providing stretches of relaxing in-between knitting where you can let your mind wander.

An ideal vacation project: Concentrate on the lace sections in the comforts of your quarters in the evenings or before your family gets up in the morning, and take the garter stitch parts to the beach or a cafe - you’ll be done in no time and will have something new to wear on the flight back!

Goddess Jūratė (from the noun jūra meaning the sea) lived under the Baltic Sea in a beautiful amber castle. She ruled the sea and all of the sea-life. A young fisherman named Kastytis was disturbing the peace as he was catching a lot of fish. Jūratė decided to punish him and restore the peace, but she fell in love with the handsome young fisherman. They spent some happy times in the castle, but Perkūnas, the thunder-god, found out that the immortal goddess had fallen in love with a mortal man. He became furious and struck the amber castle. It exploded into millions of pieces. Then Jūratė was chained to either the ruins or a rock on the seafloor by Perkūnas. According to legend, that is why pieces of amber come ashore after a storm on the Baltic Sea. (Wikipedia)

If you like to experiment with colors by knitting a sweater, and ordinary fading is not enough for you, it is also worth to try marling.
Marling is one of the easiest methods of colored knitting – all you have to do is connect two strands of yarn in different colors. However, if at the same time each one of the yarns is of a different fiber blend and structure, and you change every few rows to a new color, you can get a unique piece of knitwear with exclusive colors.
This is the method I used in the “Almandite” sweater.
“Almandite” is a classic and elegant open front cardigan knitted from the top to the bottom in one piece with two strands in different colors held together. To achieve smooth transitions and extraordinary colors, the strands are separated in the indicated places and replaced with new colors. An additional effect is added by an interesting textured pattern, complemented by a wide collar knitted in garter stitch.

Materials:

* Yarn A – Dye Dye Done Pure Merino (100% Merino): 100g/ 436 yards [400 meters] held together with yarn B – Dye Dye Done SilkyPaca (70% Superfine Alpaca, 30% Silk): 50g/ 218 yards [200 meters].

This unostentatiously elegant, but not overloaded cardigan is worked top down seamlessly by first knitting the back panel sideways and afterwards picking up stitches along both edges to create the back and then both fronts.

 Stitches for the set-in sleeves are picked around the armhole after the body has been finished. Sleeves are then shaped with short rows and end in elegant cuffs wide enough to accommodate a blouse underneath. These cuffs, which repeat the lace pattern from the back panel, are worked sideways in a special technique so they are still seamless.

 Stylish button bands with paired imitation stag-horn buttons on a stockinette stitch background are bordered by narrow cables that repeat at the sides of the sweater. A rolled stockinette stitch neckline tops off this versatile garment.

Faded knitwear is still very popular, not to mention great for using up single skeins!

This loose-fitting seamless sweater, worked top down with unconventional overlong trumpet sleeves, is your canvas to play with colors.

With the stitch pattern, born out of improvising with increases, I came up when I wanted to create something more intricate, with a unique color scheme and an interesting texture that would appeal to the wild girl in every knitter, too.

Here, you can turn the general idea and technical recommendations for blending colorways into your very own color adventure in knit. Detailed fading instructions are included on page 4 of the pattern. It is up to you to decide whether you’d like to work this garment in one color, emphasizing the texture of the pretty twisted ribbing lines, or from the minimum of three to as many colors as you like from your riotous remnant basket.

After having made “Naturally Yours” last year in collaboration with De Rerum Natura, I decided to revisit this lovely and versatile yarn and design another open front cardigan (…my favorite type of sweater!).
“Crossing over” is worked top down and seamless (…my favorite construction method for sweaters!), starting from the wide collar, followed by the yoke and the body.
The back in an easy to knit half brioche stitch pattern features an interesting shaping detail based on an updated version of the shaping used in my “Wien” pullover, with a larger backcrossing that moves first “up” and then “down”, where in “Wien” it meandered only in one direction.
This comfortable and laid-back cardigan will add interest to any casual outfit!

A while ago I had been contacted by Kim Goodling, the owner of The Gotland Wool Company, who raises Gotland sheep in the U.S. and sells her yarns online and at festivals. Kim, who liked my garments combining lacework and Stockinette, wanted a pattern for a short pullover, cardigan, or vest that would show off the qualities of her wonderful yarn with emphasis on maximum yarn usage, since with this type of high-end yarn, overall project cost is often a concern.

Having never worked with Gotland yarn before, I was very curious to learn how it would knit up and what would look best to showcase its advantages. I found it to be a truly beautiful yarn that didn’t want to be spoiled by overloading it with features or drowning out its structure!

We agreed that from the colors Kim picked, I would design a cardigan in two lengths to give knitters an option of deciding on the overall yarn amount used: regular and cropped; as well as with a short and long sleeve version.

Vermont is a classic top-down raglan sweater knit seamlessly with textured lace back. The pattern contains four styling options: cropped, regular, short sleeve, and long sleeve.

“Vermont” was designed in collaboration with The Gotland Wool Company.

“Naturally Yours” is worked seamlessly top-down from the collar to the hem in raglan construction with accented raglan lines, asymmetric sleeve cables and A-line shaped fronts that overlap at the bottom. Short rows slightly elongate the rounded back in comparison to the fronts, creating just the right “natural shape” for a comfortable fit. Waist shaping on the back is already accounted for in the cable panel, which is fully charted and written out at the same time. Figure in convenient pockets, hidden in the wide hem, and an interesting textured stitch pattern, featuring reverse stockinette and half cardigan stitch as well as intricate cables cleverly incorporated into the overall construction, and you already know that this garment is practically “Naturally Yours” even before you start knitting it!

The idea for this garment had been in my head for quite some time until it had matured to perfection. Since its classic shape and sophisticated design details, such as bottom ribbing and button band in sync with the back pattern rhythm and button spacing, also look timeless enough to fit in with any period style, I thought “From Way Back” was just the right name for it!

The cardigan is worked top-down – of course, as usual, seamless – and, despite its intricate looks, not at all complicated to knit. The lace pattern repeat is fully written out and charted at the same time, and raglan increases are charted for the full range of sizes as well.

Whether planned with zero ease, or with just enough of negative ease to fit snugly, this cardigan goes well with everything from jeans to various dress styles. Knit it from luxury fiber topped with artisan fasteners to complement your favorite silk dress, or from repurposed yarn with mismatched buttons, sewn on in different thread colors, to upgrade a pair of cutoff denims.

which allows the shawl to wrap nicely around the shoulders and stay put.

This cardigan evolved after I had published my “Get the Picture” hat featuring the same stitch, resulting in a lot of inquiries for sweaters from people who were fond of the stitch pattern (as far as I remember, I think I must have found this stitch pattern on one of those free-stitch-pattern-websites, but I am not 100% sure any more). Subsequently, I decided to make one for myself to see how this would work out.

I wanted it to be a simple, classic open cardigan with raglan sleeves and pockets hidden within the hem - something comfortable and wearable made from beautiful yarn, the kind of sweater you can slip into when you go for a walk in the park with your kids - but at the same time, unique enough so you won’t be lost in the crowd if the kids come looking for you.

And that was how the adult sized “Petrichor” came to life.
This cardigan is knit top down, absolutely seamlessly (even the pockets are joined to the hem as you work them up), with extra waist shaping on the back.
To make it easier to knit, all raglan increases are charted for all sizes.

One doesn’t always feel like wearing frilly dresses and high heels, or does anybody?
For less fancy occasions like going to a picnic or having a quick coffee with our best friend, we sometimes just want to throw on a favorite pair of jeans and a plain vanilla t-shirt without appearing overdressed for the occasion - but even then, a special accessory like this shawl will make us stand out.

Knitted from the top down in a semi-circle shape, this cozy shawl features short row sections with intermittent dropped-stitch rows for visual interest. Most of the test samples are worked in two solid contrasting colors, but long color repeats or even all different colors would look equally well for the short row sections.
For additional fun, using a lighter color for the dropped-stitch rows will make the shawl look as if it were serged together on a giant interlock machine.

The perfect accessory to wear around your neck for the warming days of spring, this lovely shawl is also big enough to wrap on your shoulders for the cooler evenings.

In the beginning, there was chaos. Chaos in my head, but I knew that with this yarn – so beautiful and outstanding – I had to create something special.
While still contemplating what this “Something special” could be, I heard “All Along The Watchtower” by Jimi Hendrix … and knew an answer right away!
My needles started dancing with the wonderful yarn, producing this cowl – knit sideways in a very uncomplicated way, but interesting at the same time, with highly textured crisscrossed woven detailing asymmetrically growing on the background of plain garter stitch and the garter section shaped wider than the rest of the cowl.

Those who take the time to search for hidden beauty will find an elegant filigreed leaf column sprouting from underneath a box pleat in the back of an otherwise unassuming garment.

Lightweight and airy with lacy leaf motifs down the sleeves and back, this completely seamless A-line sweater with up to 5 inches of positive ease and suspended shoulders is flattering for any body type and looks fabulous with everything from an elegant skirt to jeans or leggings.

Its top-down construction allows for trying on as you go to ensure the best possible fit, and should you grow so fond of the easy to memorize lacy leaf pattern that you can’t bring yourself to part with it - just continue and turn your “Wisteria Lane” into an adorable dress.

Knitting a whole sweater from light fingering weight yarn might not be for everyone, but those who are brave enough to take on this challenge will be rewarded for their endurance with a piece of genuine beauty and timeless elegance.

Using the same stitch pattern as the Symbiotic cowl, the Autonomous makes the perfect complement to your outer wear wardrobe.
Don’t wear cowls? No worries, Autonomous has no problem being the solo star of the show.

This hat can be knit all in one color or for more punch, add in a second color for the pompom.
Have you sometimes stumbled on pretty leftovers in your stash where the colors make a good match, but they can’t be used together because their yarns weights are just too different?
Now, now can pair them in one hat by making the pompom from a different yarn, because for this, the yarn weight doesn’t matter.

Autonomous has one other great advantage! It is reversible :) So attach your huge pompom to the safety pin and you can wear it on either side of your hat.

Girly Pink Spring is a girly version of adult Spring is Pink cardigan.
It is a classically shaped cardigan knit seamlessly from the top down with simultaneously set in sleeves.

As with most of my cardigans, Girly Pink Spring is knit top down, completely seamlessly with set in sleeves knitted simultaneously with the body. First, you knit a few rows of the back, then carefully pick up the provisional cast on stitches at the shoulders and work a few rows of each front. At that point you pick up stitches along the tops of the armholes, and then join all pieces together to work the front, sleeves, and back simultaneously. The armholes are shaped with increases as you continue knitting down. All the upper sections are worked simultaneously until it is time to separate the sleeves stitches from the body, then you work body and sleeves independently.

This yarn by Filcolana and its interesting color appealed instantly to me, even though the color, a deep reddish Russet, is way off from the usual suspects in my range of favorite tones.

This roomy sweater in an oversize look with lots of positive ease is worked seamlessly from the top down, neckline and shoulders are shaped with German short rows. The pattern contains two options for the neckline – either a wide rounded neckline with ribbed neckband, or – with additional yardage requirements – a cozy turtleneck.

“Quicksand” is a triangular shawl worked sideways, starting at one of the tips. Shaped with increases hidden in the side cable, it features an intriguing cable pattern meandering through brioche pockets, and is topped off with an i-cord bind-off at the widest part. I spotted this interesting stitch pattern on a Polish knitting website and decided to adapt it for the shawl shape.

PS: Contrary to popular perception based mainly on 1960’s movie culture, it is not physically possible for a person to sink entirely into quicksand – no danger immersing yourself in this cozy shawl!

“Cantata” Pullover, created in collaboration with Walcot yarns, is knit top-down in the round entirely seamless. The pictured sample was knit in Walcot Yarns Opus (70% Merino, 30% Alpaca): 100g/ 384 yards {350 meters}, a merino-alpaca blend that is pleasing to work with and brings out the best in the stitch pattern.

Specially designed with modified circular yoke construction to have a lowered yoke and wider neckline, this sweater has a slightly cropped overall length and long sleeves with moderate balloon shaping in the lower part. It features a textured overall stitch pattern of vertical lines, broken by short horizontal welts in rhythmic intervals, which had been inspired by the photo of a ready-to wear garment spotted on a Pinterest board.

The pullover is completely worked inside out to avoid purling too many stitches. A helpful video tutorial explains the special technique used to create the decorative welts sitting like notes on staff lines in music.

The pattern provides complete row-by-row instructions for 9 sizes, a separate stitch pattern chart for those who prefer to work visually, as well as the customary schematics with marker placement.

Laid-back without looking sloppy, this is a sweater for relaxed moments in an otherwise structured life – wear it around campus, in front of the fireplace at a cozy mountain cabin, or just for a coffee shop run into town on a Saturday morning.

Last year, I left a piece of my heart in Barcelona… somewhere in the Gothic Quarter’s maze of narrow streets! While strolling through medieval alleyways, getting lost (sometimes intentionally, sometimes not), and discovering real gems off the beaten tracks, I absorbed the atmosphere of this extraordinary town.

Later at home, an equally atmospheric yarn was waiting for me: hand-dyed in Spain by the talented Feliz Y Punto – my countrywoman. And thus the Barri Gotic shawl was born – inspired by Gothic architecture and gorgeous yarn.

Barri Gotic is a triangular shawl, worked sideways from the tip to the widest part, and shaped with increases hidden in the side braids.
The intriguing stitch pattern used here features unusual openwork surrounded by symmetrical cables which approach each other and recede again. The shawl is fully reversible and can be worked in any size until the yarn is used up.
