Knit a Mister Rogers Sweater

by

mister rogers sweater knitting patternWith the 50th anniversary of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and a new movie about his life coming out this year, interest in the sweater-wearing TV star has never been higher.

If you’d like to knit a Mister Rogers-style sweater for yourself or your neighbor, Lion Brand has a great free knitting pattern you can try.

The Neighborly Cardigan is a zip-front knit cardigan with cables running up the center fronts. It’s warm and cozy thanks to the alpaca blend yarn, and it’s definitely a project that Mister Rogers himself would love.

The pattern is free but you have to sign up with Lion Brand to download it.

Pretty Tank Top Knitting Patterns to Keep You Cool

I’ve been writing about knitting online for a long time, and a lot of things have changed. But one good thing I think has changed over the years is that fewer people see knitting as a seasonal activity. Most people don’t seem to think anymore that there’s a time when it’s too hot to knit or too hot to wear knits. 

I don’t know if the proliferation of knit tank top patterns caused that shift or is the result of it, but either way, summer knitters and knitwear-wearers are the beneficiaries, and every year there seem to be more great tank top knitting patterns to share. 

How about the super cute Fleur Cami from Woolbirdx on Etsy? This sweet V-neck with thin straps features vertical panels of eyelets and ribbing. It’s worked from the bottom up in the round and is available in nine sizes. It calls for super fine yarn. 

Or there’s the knitted lace V-neck top from Exotic Works Hub. This one has lace panels on the front at the center and is otherwise worked mostly in stockinette stitch. It’s worked from the bottom up in fingering weight yarn and comes in six sizes.

The Mixed Rib Cami from Florence Miller is another on that caught my eye. Worked in light fingering weight yarn, it is worked from the top down using twisted rib stitches and optional waist shaping. It’s finished with I-cord edges for a super clean look. The pattern has nine sizes available and you can find it on Ravelry. 

Stine HoelgaardJohansen’s Golden Girl top is a cute sport weight top with a round neckline that’s deeper in the back, and worked from the bottom up in broken rib. There are nine size options (and six languages) and you can grab it for free on Ravelry. 

Prefer a sporty look? Andrea Gaughan’s Sumac tank is worked in fingering weight yarn from the top down with contrasting edges. The pattern has 10 sizes and two fit profiles, graded to a traditionally masculine or feminine frame respectively. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.
