More Sweater Patterns to Try

October 13, 2014 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

In the last installment (for now) of Sarah Cleans Out Her E-mail, I’ve got some more sweater patterns for you to consider. I should be sharing a few more roundups of specific kinds of sweaters throughout the month, but I’m on vacation this week so I make no promises. Looking for more Vest patterns to knit? Check out these Vest Knitting patterns on Etsy.

The Ribbed Top really caught my eye, though I don’t think I’m comfortable enough with myself to wear something that body-hugging. It’s still really pretty, though!

The Modular Pullover, on the other hand, looks a lot more wearable and it’s a really fun construction technique, too, because you build out squares as you go.

Need a sweater for evening? The Glamour Jacket uses sparkly Vanna’s Choice Glamour and has a really interesting shape that’s sure to wow you in the knitting and everyone else when you wear it.

I love the simplicity of the Debora Pullover, a simple, mostly stockinette, boatneck pullover. It would be great for an everyday sweater, but the wool and mohair mix of the yarn used makes it a little more special.

And if you live somewhere it doesn’t get cold enough for sweaters and are feeling left out, check out the Anais Cowl Collar Vest. It’s a really pretty — and really easy — sleeveless garment you can wear with long or short sleeves underneath as needed.

Are you working on a sweater yet? I’d love to know what’s on your needles.

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.
