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.

Classic Dishcloth Knitting Patterns

Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use. 

I love this little plaid hand towel from Darling Jadore. Use a little bit of leftover cotton yarn from another project for the plaid portion. It looks like the horizontal stripes are worked as you knit and the vertical stripes are done with duplicate stitch, making this a quick and easy project even newer knitters can make. 

Combine garter stitch and an easy eyelet pattern worked sideways to make the Annette Dish Towel from Cluck Cluck Boots, which is meant to be reminiscent of flour sack towels. It calls for DK weight yarn and you can work it in one color or two (or even three!). 

Add a little more texture with this set of kitchen towels from Whileberry Creative. They’re mostly worked in garter stitch with borders in easy knit/purl patterns, and you can work them in sport or worsted weight yarn. 

Two of Wands Shop has another cute allover knit and purl pattern they call the Seersucker Textured Tea Towel. It’s an easy repeating pattern worked in worsted weight yarn, and there’s a chart in the pattern you can use, but don’t have to, if you want to practice knitting from a chart. 

The Classic Cloth dish towel from Handmade Home by Connie is another one that can use a little leftover yarn in a contrasting color, or you could color block it our use stripes throughout the pattern. This one uses worsted weight yarn and another easy repeating knit purl stitch pattern. 

If you like to hang your towel on the oven handle or elsewhere but it’s always falling off, try the Stay Put kitchen towel from Fancy Step Knits. This project is worked in garter stitch and includes a hole partway through so you can pull the towel through itself over a rod or handle. Stripes are optional but a nice addition.
