Sometimes there’s nothing more pleasing than plain old stockinette stitch, its soothing rhythm and smooth surface. Here are some soothing stockinette projects from knitters in our community!
First up, here’s Katherine’s “Stockholm Slipover” in Fibre Co. Cumbria. Though PetiteKnit’s pattern calls for DK and lace weight yarns held together, Katherine cleverly picked a single worsted weight yarn that knits up to the same gauge all by itself.
Here I am in my “Melange Sweater” – coincidentally, almost all of today’s show and tell was knit from PetiteKnit patterns! I held two contrasting shades of Sandnes Garn Sunday together, cobalt blue and light beige; check out this blog post for more color ideas. I knit this over a year ago, but never shared a photo of the finished sweater, though it’s become one of my most worn.
Kay is a serial “Oslo Hat – Mohair Edition” maker, and I know these aren’t the last ones we’ll see from her! Above and below, she combined Isager Alpaca 2 with either Soft Fine or Silk Mohair.
Yep, Kay made this third “Oslo Hat – Mohair Edition,” too! This may be my favorite of her color combinations yet, Kelbourne Woolens Camper and Isager Silk Mohair.
Here’s Hyesol’s “Monday Sweater,” knit with Sandnes Garn Sunday and Hand Maiden Superkid Silk held together. Photos just don’t do this justice – ever since she brought it in, I’ve been daydreaming about knitting a stockinette raglan for myself.
Joanne held Koigu KPPPM and Lang Cashmere Premium together for one super squishy hat! The pattern is Ysolda Teague’s “Musselburgh,” which is knit with two layers, even more stockinette to enjoy.
Many thanks to Katherine, Kay, Hyesol, and Joanne for sharing their handiwork with us! We really appreciate everyone whose projects begin with a trip to HYS, and we can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
