Knitting Pattern – Northern Lights Shawl

, by . 4 Comments

Isn’t this gorgeous? I just love it. Imagine if you knit it in the jewel pinks/purples, teals, greens… that we associate with the lights. Definitely go to the link below to see different colorways of this pattern. It’s definitely worth the click!

Awesome! And, the pattern is free, on Ravelry HERE, by Anne M.

  1. I would like to know what yarn or yarns and the color combination that was used to make the Northern Lights Shawl that is pictured on your blog. Thank you.

  2. I would also like the name and color of the yarn for the Northern lights shawl. It is gorgeous.

  3. I’m not even seeing this picture on Raverly anymore, but I’ll bet you could contact Anne and see what yarn she used. (Since she lives in Finland, it’s possible they aren’t yarns that are widely available in the states.)

A Short and Sweet Top to Knit for Summer

I think one of the things that keeps me from wearing some of the summer tops that I have knit is that when they use worsted weight yarn, they’re actually heavier and warmer than a normal T-shirt would be. Which sometimes is fine, since I tend to be cold, but it’s not always what you want from your warm-weather gear.

That’s why shirts and tops knit with fingering (aka sock) yarn are so great. They’re super light weight and honestly they don’t take as long to knit as you probably think they will.

I’m sure that’s true with the Maya Top from Gavriella Treminio, especially if you choose the cropped length option. This top down sweater has a textured circular yoke with bobbles and eyelets, while the rest of the body is worked in stockinette stitch. Other than the integrated ribbed neckband, other edges are left in stockinette so they will roll slightly to finish the casual look. 

The design comes with seven different size options, ranging from 36 to 62 inches in the chest. The pattern page doesn’t say how much ease is meant to be included in the pattern, but starting at size 36 would leave it pretty roomy for folks in the smaller sizes.

I don’t think the suggested yarn is made anymore, but it looks like a top that would be lovely in a mercerized cotton or a linen and silk blend, something with a little bit of shine to it. This is one of those times when the yarn suggestions on Ravelry can be super helpful because you can see what yarn other people used and how their finished projects came out.

You can get this pattern on Ravelry.
