Free Knitting Pattern: Serendipitous Ewe Triforce Socks

by

triforce socks sandra singhIf you’re looking for a sock pattern to get your fall started on the right foot (sorry), check out this free pattern from Sandra Singh.

The Serendipitous Ewe Triforce Socks by Angela McNamara are mostly stockinette but feature a two-color design that goes into the ribbing and tow, and a two-color triangle design on the heel. Thus the name, I guess.

This is a great relatively easy pattern to work if you’ve never done two-color knitting on a sock. And once you start, you’re sure to want to find more ways to incorporate different colors in your socks.

  1. I just found you today. Thanks for the pretty Green and Yellow Socks, I think I may be actually ready to try that. I’ve not been knitting long, and those of my extended family live 2000 miles away, so I’ve no one to hold my hand. I have found a knit group, but it takes time to feel comfortable and say walk me through this! I saw I missed the Yarn Olympics…sigh… I’ll keep my eye open for the next fun event. Thanks and may your yarn never tangle. TA

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.
