Gift Knits from the New Knitty

December 9, by Sarah White. 1 Comment

kate's kitty from knittyThe latest issue of Knitty just dropped the other day, so I thought it might be fun to highlight some patterns you still have time to knit for gifts, if you’re still in the market for some.

The Skew Too fingerless mitts from Eva Landeo use a gorgeous, colorful yarn, a fun technique to make the knitting and the finished mitt more interesting, and they’re mostly worked in a flat piece of bias knitting, with cuffs and thumb added after, so they should be pretty quick to knit.

There’s also a mitten pattern, Instant Mash from Kate Atherley’s newest book (which is all about mittens). They’re worked in bulky yarn for quick progress, and mittens don’t have nearly the fiddly bits that gloves do, and actually keep your hands warmer.

Laura Chau’s Fallingbrook is a hat and mitten set with fun cable patterns that will make it feel like these knit fast because you’ll want to keep going to see how it all turns out. And the Tiina hat pattern from Katrin Kolnes is another one that will be fun to knit because of the great cable pattern, but it’s easy because it’s worked flat with no shaping. Just seam it up the side and cinch the top when you’re done!

Amy Palmer’s Ceibo is a kind of bolero/cropped sweater that’s a cardigan styled so it opens in the back, keeping more of your core warm. It would be great for all sorts of layering occasions this winter, and it comes in a variety of sizes.

Maybe my favorite is the tiny Kate’s Kitten pattern from Anna Hrachovec. It’s an itsy version of Kate by Jess Hutchinson, a sweet, pants-wearing kitty published by Knitty back in 2005. You’ve probably still got time to knit both of them for gifting. So cute!
