Knits for the Wonder Woman in Your Life

by

I haven’t seen the new Wonder Woman movie yet, but I know it’s awesome and sure to inspire some girls and women to bring a little of that fierce power into their own lives.

The good news is there are a bunch of great Wonder Woman knitting patterns to choose from.

Clementine Knits and Crochets has a great Wonder Woman hat that’s worked as a pretty straightforward beanie, then you pick up stitches for the tiara that’s sewn down to the hat underneath it. And I love all those star buttons!

For another great hat, check out the Wonder Beanie from Christabel Seneque, aka Herbivore Knits. This one uses stranded colorwork for the stars and other details, but isn’t too difficult if you’re comfortable with chart reading.

HoleyHoo Designs has made boot toppers and double knit slippers inspired by Wonder Woman, and Jenny Wren made a fun set of Wonder Woman accessories.

And then there are the sweaters! Check out the amazing Wonder Woman from Natalie Bursztyn and the tutorial for Kristy Lothian’s Wonder Woman sweater (which isn’t really a pattern, but is still pretty darn awesome).

And make sure you don’t miss the Wonder Woman scarf from Konchan le Me. This one is double-layered, and you can knit them separately and sew them together or work it in double knitting.

Pencil Knitting Patterns

Getting ready for back to school makes me think about pencil crafts, so let’s take a look at some pencil themed knitting patterns! 

I recently made a pencil on a circular knitting machine, and it was a fun, quick, easy project that uses little bits of leftover yarn (and if you don’t have yellow you can make it a colored pencil using whatever color’s your favorite). And if you want to make a bigger version check out this pattern from Orange Olive Road on Etsy.

If you want to knit a pencil pillow by hand, check out Sketchy, available on Ravelry from Shana S. Cohen. This one uses worsted weight yarn and has two size options and the choice to make a pencil with an eraser or a colored pencil. 

Pencil scarves seem to be the most popular kind of pencil knitting pattern, and there are lot of cute ones. This one from Cosy Craft UK mostly uses garter stitch, with some welts to add texture and what looks like an I-cord edging. It calls for DK weight yarn. 

If you want to go all garter stitch try this version from Emsley Co Creations, which uses five colors of DK weight yarn and just a little shaping to make the point of the pencil.

There’s also this fun, mostly stockinette so it looks like it curls a bit, pencil pattern that looks like it’s worked in chunky yarn from Little Knits Studio. This one uses just a little garter stitch and easy shaping for the point. 

If you don’t want a pencil scarf, how about some pencil socks? The No. 2 Pencil Socks from The Yarn Enabler are available from Ravelry and use five colors of sock yarn. They feature wide ribs to mimic the texture of a pencil and have options to be worked from the top down or the toe up. 

Needs Sharpening by Alexander Walker is a free pattern on Ravelry that uses five colors of sock yarn to make a sort of shortie sock. The little bit of black at the tips of the toes inspired the name. These, too, can be worked in either direction and are available in three sizes.
