Giveaway: One Piece Knits

by 52 Comments

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!

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
