Linen Stitch Pom Pom Scarf

February 28, 2013 by Sarah White

linen stitch pom pom scarfI’m starting to get knitting blogger deja vu, because I really thought I had shared this pretty scarf from Architecture of a Mom before but I’m not seeing it, so we’re going to go with that and if I did share it with you already, just blame it on the wool fumes.

I’m a huge fan of linen stitch, which I’m sure is why this little scarf caught in my memory. It’s such a pretty stitch that looks like woven fabric but is pretty easy to knit.

Her scarf has pom poms on the ends to weight the ends down and add a more feminine look, but as she mentions you could leave them off and any guy who wears scarves would love to throw this one around their neck.

    I don’t think you shared it yet. 🙂 Thanks for sharing it, though!

Knit a Great Button Down Shirt

Just about anything you can make in fabric you can make in knitting, but there are some styles that you just don’t see that often translated into knitting. 

For example, a button down collared shirt. This is a classic design, of course, and it looks great in a knit version, but it’s just not something you see much of. 

Noma Ndlovu’s Guglethu shirt is the pattern to try if you want to knit your own button down shirt. This one is inspired by cashmere tops (though the sample was made out of yak yarn, not cashmere, and uses two strands of lace weight yarn held together) and includes lots of high-fashion details like double-knit cuffs, collar and shoulder seams. 

It has a patch pocket on the front and 10 buttons including the button band and the cuffs. 

The designer says you can also use a DK weight yarn held singly if you’d rather, and that the shirt looks good in a variety of yarns. There is another version on Ravelry that uses Berroco Remix Light, which is a mix of nylon, cotton, acrylic, silk and cellulose fibers. It has a more relaxed look but it still really pretty. 

The pattern has 12 sizes, with a full bust measurement ranging from 32.35 to 72.25 inches, or 82 to 183.5 cm. The designer suggests 2 to 6 inches, or 5 to 15 cm, of positive ease when you pick your size. I could totally see knitting one that’s even bigger to wear more like a jacket, because I do that a lot with button down shirts I already own.

I love all the details on this shirt, which isn’t necessarily difficult to knit, but might introduce you to some things you’ve never knit before (like those cuffs with the plackets, or a shirt collar like this). 

To learn more about this shirt and grab a copy of the pattern for yourself, head to Ravelry.
