Win a Copy of Berroco’s New Baby Book

October 8, 2012 by Sarah White

comfort knitting babies and toddlersComfort Knitting and Crochet: Babies and Toddlers has been sitting on my bedside table for a few weeks now, waiting to be looked at (it could be I’m a little over baby knitting right now because I’m finishing up my book and just don’t want to judge my book against it and vice versa). The little bit I’ve flipped through it it looks really cute.

The projects come from Norah Gaughan and the Berroco Design Team and use Berroco’s Comfort and Vintage lines, which are great choices for kids because they’re washable, soft and come in a good variety of colors.

Berroco is giving 25 lucky readers the chance to win a copy of the book. All you have to do is fill out this form, including your e-mail and shipping addresses, by the end of the day Thursday, also known as Oct. 11. Participants must be from the United States or Canada to win. And I’ll be sure to let you know what I think of the book just as soon as I give it a closer look.

Specific to knitters, you can join our Knitting Patterns Only group to get, well, knitting patterns, ask questions and gain inspiration for what to knit next.

    This sounds like it would be a good book to have. I have one grandchild and love to knit her all sorts of things.

Fun Tank Top Knitting Patterns

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear. 

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
