Great New Collections for Winter

January 8, 2014 by Sarah White

kelpie brooklyn tweedWhile most of the country sits in the cold, longing for cozy knits to warm us up, Brooklyn Tweed and Quince & Co. have both delivered with excellent winter knits collections.

First up, BT Winter 14, a collection of 15 sweaters and other warm garments. I actually pinned Benton, the oversized striped boyfriend sweater by Julie Hoover, before I even realized this is where it came from. I’ve also got my eye on Jared Flood’s Kelpie, described as a modern triangular Hap shawl, it features little bits of lace worked in stripes that are just lovely.

Nord, a V-neck pullover with an accent cable on the front and designed by Véronik Avery, would be a great addition to anyone’s winter wardrobe as well. View the full look book for more details. Individual patters are $6.50 to $7.

The new Quince & Co. collection is called stripes, and it includes six winter accessories — hats and mitts for men and women, as well as a cowl and a scarf — all of which include stripes, of course. The full collection is $7, and it’s a lovely little set of patterns that you could knit again and again, with or without stripes.

See anything you like? I’d love to hear about it!

Fun Tank Top Knitting Patterns

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear. 

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
