Booklets Full of Knits to Keep You Warm

Warm knitting pattern booklets giveaway

Jami is the winner.

This week I thought I’d share some little books full of patterns that will get you through fall and winter with lots of cozy knits.

Warm Up with Knits has 12 patterns for hats, mitts, cowls, wraps and boot cuffs to keep you cozy.

Quick Knitted Scarves contains 18 projects for scarves using all sorts of stitch patterns and techniques (they’re not all warm but they are all fast projects).

Slouchy Beanies and Headwraps by Lisa Gentry has nine patterns for hats and wide headbands to keep your ears warm.

One lucky reader is going to get all of these. If you’d like it to be you, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, October 1. I’d love to know if you’re a hat person, an earwarmer person, or someone who just leaves their head out in the cold.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

  3. My head is always out in the cold because I hate hats for myself. However, my family loves them so I like to knit for them. Thank you for the chance to win what looks to be some great patterns!

  5. Hats, the family can’t get enough. Our office also makes many hats and scarfs for the Salvation Army during the year for Christmas.

  11. I like scarves; since I wear hearing aids and a BAHA, I am unable to wear hats, but I do make them for our projects in our knitting/crochet class.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
