From Pussy Hats to Evil Eye Gloves

February 27, 2018 by Sarah White

evil eye glove knitting patternFollowing the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., the March for Our Lives is being planned for Washington, D.C., on March 24.

The Women’s March in early 2017 was characterized by pink knit and crocheted hats, and the brainchild of that bit of fibery protest wants Congress and others to see all eyes on them at this upcoming march.

Krista Suh, who imagined what became the Pussyhat Project while driving in her car, notes on her website that even before that she had a dream of a peaceful protest where all the people had eyes on their upraised hands.

Once again Kat Coyle has come through with a pattern for what’s called the Evil Eye Gloves, fingerless mitts knit flat and with eyes embroidered on after the knitting is done.

You can grab the free pattern at Krista’s website, or check it out on Ravelry. Make them for yourself if you’re marching in D.C. or elsewhere, or make a bunch to mail to be distributed at the march.

    This is as outrageous as the pussy hats. The ladies should find out the backers of the ladies march.

Knitting Pattern Review: Sabai Top by PaulaStrickt

Trending now — and for good reason!

Alright fellow knitters, if you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably spotted the Sabai Top popping up everywhere. And let me tell you — the hype is totally justified. This lightweight, drapey top by PaulaStrickt has quickly become a must-knit, and it’s easy to see why.

The Sabai Top has that magical mix of style and simplicity. With its elegant A-line shape, soft rolled neckline, and relaxed fit, it flatters every body and suits just about every wardrobe. It’s knit top-down in the round, which means no seams (yes please!), and it flows beautifully thanks to its clever shaping.

It’s ideal for warmer weather and perfect for layering. I’ve seen it styled casually over jeans or thrown over a sundress, and honestly? It looks stunning every single time. That easy, wearable style is what’s made this one take off in the knitting world right now.

PaulaStrickt’s instructions are beautifully laid out, with both English and German versions included. It’s written with clarity and care, and includes helpful photos throughout. I’d say it’s best for confident beginners and up — if you’re comfortable knitting in the round and shaping, you’ll be right at home.

The sizing is generous and inclusive, and it’s so adaptable with different fibres. Linen, cotton, bamboo blends — they all shine in this pattern. I’ve cast on with a blush cotton-linen from my stash, and it’s knitting up like a dream.

This is one of those patterns you just know you’ll make more than once. The fit, the drape, the ease… it’s everything I want in a handmade top. No wonder it’s trending — it’s the kind of timeless knit that never really goes out of style.
