Booklets Full of Knits to Keep You Warm

by

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.

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.” 

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them. 

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits. 

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves. 

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit. 

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
