Another Great Sock Yarn Shawl Knitting Pattern

August 21, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

I recently shared a whole collection of one-skein (or so) sock yarn shawl knitting patterns, but of course there are always more options available or being published all the time.

Here’s another great option for your fine and super fine yarns. The Aveya pattern by Tamy Gore uses a single skein of yarn and you can make it whatever size that skein’s yardage accommodates. The average skein of sock yarn is 400-420 yards, or you can use two skeins of a smaller yardage if you have them on hand.

This ethereal shawl is an asymmetrical triangle that has picots along one edge. It also features dropped stitches, one-color brioche and garter stitch. Lots of brioche patterns use two colors, so this is a great way to try brioche stitch without also having to deal with changing colors.

The sample of the shawl shown is worked in a solid color, but it’s worth scrolling through the finished projects on the Ravelry project page to see how this pattern looks worked in semi-solid, tonal, self-striping and even kind of wild colored yarn. (Spoiler alert: they all look great.)

People who’ve knit the project mentioned that it’s good for travel knitting because it’s easy to remember the pattern, it’s fast to knit and it doesn’t use a lot of yarn. Plus it’s fun to have a shawl you knit on vacation to remind you of the trip!

Speaking of travel knitting, check out my posts on how I plan travel knitting, assembling a travel knitting kit and what’s allowed on airplanes if you have any travel coming up.

I’m really trying to use my stash of patterns I’ve already bought instead of buying more, but I have to admit this pattern is really tempting. I even know what yarn I would use for it.

Check out the pattern on Ravelry.

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
