Brooklyn Tweed Wool People 6 Has Arrived

The new season means lots of new knitting patterns to consider, and Brooklyn Tweed has just released its latest pattern collection, Wool People 6. It has 13 patterns, including sweaters, scarves, hats and a cowl, all with the kind of organic, lovely style you’d expect.

Some of my favorites are the gorgeous Treenings Shawl by Andrea Rangel, which is both beautiful and utilitarian (meaning it doesn’t look too precious to use). Ann-Marie Jackson’s Greenwood pullover uses purl ridges for texture and a cowl neck for warmth, while the Rook pullover by Kyoko Nakayoshi uses classic cables on the front and sleeves that practically jump off the garment.

Diana Walla’s Skydottir is a simple circular yoke style you’ll love to knit and to wear. You can view all the projects in the look book linked above or check them out on Ravelry.

Individual patterns are $6.50 or $7 and can be purchased from Brooklyn Tweed. See anything that catches your eye? I’d love to hear about it.

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.
