Find Your Next Knitting Project in 100 Knits

Interweave publications have been sharing fabulous knitting projects for more than 20 years, some of which have become instant classics.

100 Knits is a compilation of 100 patterns from various Interweave magazines including Interweave Knits, knitscene and others, as well as Interweave books. The patterns cover hats and socks; scarves, cowls, shawls and wraps; cardigans; pullovers; and tanks and tees.

The patterns come from more than 70 designers and cover a range of styles and techniques. Almost all the patterns are for women, and there are no projects for kids other than a pair of socks that comes in sizes ranging from kids to adults.

You’re sure to see projects here you recognize if you’re read Interweave publications through the years. Things like the Central Park Hoodie from Heather Londinsky or Evelyn L. Clark’s Swallowtail Shawl.

But if you haven’t been reading all their publications there are probably some new-to-you projects here as well, or some things you might have forgotten you loved and wanted to knit when they first came out.

There’s definitely a lot of projects here I’d love to knit — you can see all of them on Ravelry — from Jared Flood’s Koolhaas Hat, which I had forgotten about, to the Biscotti Sweater by Kiyomi Burgin, which I don’t think I had seen before.

There are lots of fun potential gift-knitting projects, from hats and shawls to interesting socks, or things you’ll want to make for yourself.

I would have liked this book to include information on when and where the projects were originally published (probably because I’m a knitting nerd) and some tips on substituting yarn might have been helpful. This book is quite literally 100 knitting patterns and a one-page introduction. So if you love Interweave knitting patterns and getting a lot of patterns when you buy a knitting book, this is definitely one you will want to check out.

About the book: 512 pages, 100 patterns, hardcover. Retail price: $45. Publication date: October 2018.

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?
