Find Your Next Knitting Project in 100 Knits

October 29, 2018 by Sarah White

100 knits book reviewInterweave 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.

    Thanks for including the links to Ravelry’s pattern pages when you review books. I find it’s the best way to get an overview.

Add a Little Lace to Your Knitting Patterns

If you’re new to lace knitting or just aren’t sure how to incorporate the technique into garments, check out these tops and sweaters that use lace as a decorative element.

The easiest lace out there is eyelets, and you can practice them plenty with this eyelet covered sweater from Knitcro Addict. It uses light/DK weight yarn and is worked in four pieces knit flat. It’s intended to be a little cropped and a little oversized, and includes sizes XS to XXL in the pattern.

If you’re in parts of the world where it’s getting colder as you read this, the Nora sweater from Bummbul might be a good choice. This is actually a great one for learning lace because it’s worked in super bulky yarn, which makes it easier to see what you’re doing and makes the lace super graphic. This one just comes in one size, with a 42 inch (106) cm bust, but that could fit a variety of people depending on how much ease you like.

Minimi Knit Design has a cute allover lace cardigan worked in one piece from the bottom up. It’s worked in lace weight mohair held double, which maybe isn’t the best for those new to lace (because it can be hard to rip out) but it sure is pretty. Sizes range to fit from 30 to 66 inches/76 to 168 cm bust measurements.

If you’d rather not have lace all over your sweater, you can knit the Lumi sweater from Originally Lovely, which has a chevron lace pattern on the yoke and is otherwise worked in reverse stockinette stitch. (It’s worked inside out so you don’t have to purl every stitch.) The pattern has 9 sizes from XS to 5XL and uses worsted weight yarn.

Or try the super romantic sookie blouse from Trust the mojo (available on Ravelry). This sweet top is started working flat from the bottom up and has a V-neck and I-cord edgings. The sleeves are worked separately in the round, and the pieces are all joined together to work in one piece to finish off the top. It comes in eight sizes and is available in English and French.

You can also pair lacy sleeves with an otherwise plain top, like on the Starflower Wrap from Annelise Driscoll Gingrow. This intermediate pattern makes a wrap sweater with generous lacy sleeves and a double wrap belt. The pattern has nine sizes, from XS to 5XL, and is available for free from Hobbi.
