Knit List: The Spoked Cardigan

July 29, 2012 by Sarah White

spoked cardigan noroSince the giveaway of the day is books about Noro, and a few people have commented thay haven’t seen or used the yarn before, I thought I would share one of my longstanding works in progress that happens to be made in this yarn.

The Spoked Cardigan by Carol Feller was featured on the cover of Interweave Knits Weekend in 2011, and I immediately fell for it. It’s one of those patterns that really needs to be worked in the original yarn because the color changes are what make the design work.

It’s knit in Noro Kureyon, and I picked color 277, full of blues and purples with a splash of red. It’s a lovely and fun knit, built on short rows that shape the yoke. It drives me crazy that I never finished this, because it would be great to wear in the fall, and because I’m not 100 percent sure where in the pattern I stopped knitting, but I love it and I know I’ll finish it. Someday.

    Days, weeks, months or years, all the projects get finished eventually. I am sure we will both get our projects done one day.

    UFOs..we all have them. I’d hate to see you frog it! I always mark my patterns because I end up having UFOs. Just a thought for future reference. I saw that cardi and fell for it too. Noro is great yarn. Good luck with this cardi!

Textured Baby Blanket Knitting Patterns

There are so many baby blanket knitting patterns out there I could probably do a post a month full of them and not run out for a very long time. This time I thought I’d look specifically at single color baby blankets that are interesting because of the inclusion of textured stitching. This makes them easy enough for new knitters but engaging for knitters of all skill levels. 

Take the Textured Checks Baby Blanket from Janet Dubbelman for example. This project is mostly stockinette stitch, with some what looks like reverse stockinette and garter stitch thrown in to make the ridges. You can use whatever yarn weight you like to make blankets of different sizes. Find the pattern on Ravelry. 

The Seedling from Modern Made Shop is just about as easy as it comes, combining seed stitch with a garter stitch border. It calls for worsted weight yarn and is perfect for beginners. 

The Julie Baby Blanket by Elisabeth Kristiansen is another one with an easy allover stitch pattern that you can knit up in a flash in whatever size you want. (The pattern notes say any gauge but it also says 28 stitches per 4 inches, which would be a superfine or fine weight yarn. Learn more on Ravelry. 

The Oscar Baby Blanket from Snufflebean is another one with an easy repeating stitch pattern that has a really fun, graphic effect. This is also great worked in a bright color, reminding us that babies don’t have to be in pastels! This one uses DK weight yarn. 

If you want to get a little fancier, check out Sammy Bristow’s Georges Blanket. This one alternates blocks of stockinette stitch with boats and anchors made by purling on the right side of the blanket. It calls for DK weight yarn and has multiple sizes for dolls through toddlers. Check it out on Ravelry.

Another cute texture is this heart blanket with diamonds that are a little reminiscent of argyle. Yarn Sonata Patterns has this one, which is worked in DK weight yarn and comes in four sizes. It includes a chart and row by row instructions. 

Or try the pretty Seton Portage baby blanket from Knitted Wishes, which has a border of trees and textured stitches that look like snow falling. The pattern includes different options for snowflakes and doing a mirror image of the trees on each end of the blanket. It’s worked in worsted weight yarn. This one includes charts, written instructions and video tutorials for special stitches.
