Giveaway: One Piece Knits

June 20, 2016 by Sarah White

One Piece Knits by Tine Tara.

Andie is the winner.

I’m guessing pretty much every knitter starts out knitting flat, but a lot of knitters never (or at least rarely) look back once they learn how to knit in the round.

Circular knitting is perfect for people who hate to purl, and it’s a great way to make garments, hats and other accessories that don’t require a lot of finishing when you’re done.

Whether you need an overview of the basics or are just looking for some solid seamless patterns, the book One Piece Knits by Tine Tara is a good choice.

The book includes 25 patterns, almost all worked in the round (there’s also a triangular shawl that is, in fact, worked flat, but it’s still one piece). You’ll find sweaters, hats, mitts, bags and more in this collection that has some great classic pieces and some fun, playful stuff too, like the Octopus Cowl, a neck warmer with cascading I-cord “tentacles.”

If you’d like a chance to win a copy of this book, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, June 27. I’d love to know what you love about circular knitting or, if you haven’t tried it yet, why you’re eager to do so.

I have one copy of the book to give away. Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing!

    It intrigues me as I have not tried it before. It looks like a challenge to me that I would love to try and create some beautiful items.

    I am one of those people to hate to purl! I don’t know why, except that it just feels unnatural, so I love to knit in the round. Thanks for the chance to win this book.

    I love circular knitting because I hate trying to stitch pieces together.

    Thank you for the giveaway! I love working on circular needles- so much easier than double points for me. Use them whenever I can.

    I am not fond of stitching my pieces together. I love making one piece cowls.

    Sewing up is the bit I like least therefore these patterns would be ideal for me! Thank you for the giveaway chance

    Making a seamless project saves so much time and makes such a nice end product. Thank you!

    Knitting in the round? Sounds good to me–although I’ve yet to make a Mother Bear in the round, it is the ONLY way to knit socks or cowls IMHO!

    Circular knitting is perfect movie knitting!

  14. Cindy S says

    June 20, 2016 at 12:37 pm

    I like circular knitting because there are no seams and I have sensitive skin.
    I use circular needles even when I’m doing flat knitting because they are more comfortable to use.

  15. Elena Tucker says

    June 20, 2016 at 12:44 pm

    I love circular knitting, partly because no seams, but also the cord supports the weight of the fabric, which is less strain on my wrists. I often use circular needles for flat projects for this reason.

    I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Knitting in the round is somuch easier for this new knitter. I’d love to own and learn from this book.
    Thank you.

  17. Johanne Gagne-Brown says

    June 20, 2016 at 12:48 pm

    I would love to receive that book. I have knitted in the round before and absolutely love it.

  18. Cole says

    Being left handed and having arthritis I find purling a real pain! HA HA. Love knitting in the round! Thanks for the drawing. Love your info.

  20. Deb says

    June 20, 2016 at 1:19 pm

  21. Shawn Touchette says

    June 20, 2016 at 1:28 pm

  22. joyce hancock says

    June 20, 2016 at 1:28 pm

    I love to do circular knitting because it is easier to stop in the middle of a row and set your knitting down without so much worry about the stitches falling off the needles. Also, it is less weight on your hands when you are doing a big project.

  23. Margay says

    June 20, 2016 at 2:03 pm

    I love being able to do something continuously and not back and forth. I love making things that are seamless and since hats are my favorite things to make, it works out well.

  24. KATE SARSFIELD says

    June 20, 2016 at 2:49 pm

    I haven’t knitted in the round since I was in school & even then I only managed 1 sock! I’ve only recently started knitting again & I’d love to give it another go!

  25. Flo says

    June 20, 2016 at 3:07 pm

    I love the seamless look of circular knitting. I’ve made cowls would love to make some of the more challenging patterns in this book. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  26. Jeanne says

    I like circular knitting, especially for fair isle. And I hate sewing. Seams do have a place with some garments, providing structure, but I avoid them as much as possible.
    I’d love to win a new book… I’m stash busting this year and am accumulating books and patterns to consume yarn.

  27. Lisa Garrett says

    June 20, 2016 at 3:26 pm

  28. craftyone says

    June 20, 2016 at 3:50 pm

    I just started knitting this year; after learning circular knitting, i prefer it. i want to knot those mitts on the cover.

  29. Julia says

    June 20, 2016 at 4:24 pm

    I definitely prefer knitting in the round, and only ever use my circular needles, even when I have to work flat! I would definitely put this book to good use! ????

  38. Linda Rumsey says

    June 21, 2016 at 5:09 am

    I love circular knitting as I hate seaming garments. I have a pile waiting for me but I really have to be in the mood to tackle them!

  39. rumidita says

    June 21, 2016 at 6:27 am

    I love to try circular knitting. I wonder how to make any of this thing that seems don’t have any start or end point, because it is circular.

  40. Liz Lumsden says

    June 21, 2016 at 9:58 am

    New knitter here, I would love this book! Circular needles are so easy to use, I love them!

  41. Kim says

    June 21, 2016 at 11:21 am

    My seaming isn’t that great which is why i like circular.

  42. Jodi says

    June 21, 2016 at 11:56 am

    This looks like a lovely book. I don’t care for seaming (to say the least), so having a selection of seamless patterns would be wonderful.

  43. Delisa says

    June 21, 2016 at 12:10 pm

    I knit in the round as much as possible, because I hate seaming.

  44. Kitten With a Whiplash says

    June 21, 2016 at 5:27 pm

    Since my earliest crochet days I’ve always hated seaming, and the way it looked (when I did it at least). This prejudice carried over into knitting, and I’ve never seamed two pieces of knitting yet
    Someday I will break down and learn matress stitch, but until then Knitting In The Round is just the way I roll, baby! KittenWhiplash on Ravelry thanks you for another great giveaway.

  45. Noreen says

    June 22, 2016 at 2:06 am

    I really do not like sewing my knits together, I love knitting on circular needles as that usually means no sewing

  46. Teresa says

    June 22, 2016 at 8:06 am

    I hate seaming, so circular knitting is great.

  47. henriette says

    I love circular knitting because it’s seamless.

  49. Bradi says

    June 24, 2016 at 10:08 pm

    I love circular knitting because I hate to purl. I also love using the magic loop method.

  50. Patrice says

    June 25, 2016 at 7:36 pm

    What I love most about circular knitting is no seaming at the end of the project.

Knits to Make for Your Labubu

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level. 

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants. 

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project. 

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn. 

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through. 

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces. 

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
