Kid Who Has Everything Sweater

Here’s a new toddler sweater to share with you all. Made in a light-weight cotton, it can be worn as a layer in Spring and Fall, or as a jacket on cool summer evenings. It is classy enough to be worn on special occasions, yet casual enough to be paired with jeans on a cool day.

This project was inspired by a client who hired me to design & knit a gift for a friend’s child. The friends were a wealthy NYC couple and the new baby would want for nothing, so my clients thought a hand-made gift would be a good choice. Thus this classic sweater was born.

Available for purchase on Craftsy and Ravelry.

6sts x 8rows = 1 inch 2.5cm in Stockinette Stitch blocked loosely.
12m – 20” chest 50cm, 18m – 22” chest 55cm, 2T – 23” chest 58cm, 3T – 24” chest 61cm, 4T – 24.5” chest 62cm

Note:
In the 12m size there will not be enough stitches to fully complete the seed stitch panels on the front panels adjacent to the sleeves. After the first increase row you will be able to complete the seed stitch; after the second increase row you will be able to start the stockinette section between the seed stitch and the sleeves. Other sizes do not have this adjustment.

Marshes Cabled Sleeveless Shell

IMG_5139_500New pattern release! Inspired by the ebb and flow of the salt water marshes of Cape Cod near where my grandparents lived, this sleeveless shell is worked in Classic Elite’s Firefly. The linen makes it breath beautifully during summer months and the slight sheen of the yarn gives it a feminine look. You’ll knit this sleeveless shell surprisingly fast as, aside from the front cabled panel, the whole shirt is stockinette stitch.

Buy on Ravelry
Buy on Craftsy

cableCloseUpAn empire waist helps this shell flatter any figure. Sizes small, medium and large are given with a finished size of 37, 39 and 41 inch (94, 99, 104 cm) at the bust and 33, 35, and 37 inch (84, 89, 94 cm) at the rib cage.
The Cable pattern is charted and written out. This would make a great project for someone still unsure of their cabling abilities because there is only one large cable with which to gain confidence and the rest is stockinette.

Men’s Cabled Work Gloves

IMG_3844_cableCloseUp Worked in a tough cotton, these gloves are meant to be used then tossed in the washing machine.  Inspired by my in-law’s need to take care of their horses mid-winter in Ocala, Florida (which gets surprisingly cold), yet maintain the ability to use their fingers in delicate maneuvers, these fingerless gloves have a cable to give them some pizazz but in their essence these are work gloves.

Toddler Socks

socks2_600 My son needed new, warm socks for this frigid New England winter and I had trouble finding anything besides a warm weather thin sock for sale in local stores – so I decided to knit some for him.

He even picked the “color” yarn!  These are super easy socks and knit up very quickly.  There’s nothing fancy.  If you can knit, purl and decrease (k2tog/ssk) you can make these.  Yes, you have to turn socks1_600the heel but it’s all written out for you.  The leg and cuff are a simple 2×2 ribbing so the sock won’t slip down the leg.

Here’s a brand-new pattern that you can easily complete in a weekend.  It’s a lovely little handkerchief with a daisy-stitch border.

Buy via Ravelry. Buy via Craftsy.

Use a stretchy-plant-based yarn such as Queensland Collection’s Sugar Rush.  The soft sugar cane viscose is stretchy enough to make the daisy stitch easy and also soft enough to make handkerchief usage practical.

May Flowers Baby Dress

IMG_2358_1000A lovely little dress in stockinette stitch, knit from the top down with a bottom floral lace border and picot edge bindoff.

Buy on Ravelry. Buy on Craftsy

We recommend knitting this beauty in cotton to keep it light and breathable for your little one.May Flowers Dress  This pattern uses multiple yarn overs to create the larger circles in the center of the flowers.  In the following row, the 1styarn over is knitted while the 2nd is purled.

Pattern includes 3 sizes, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month.  Sizes based on children’s clothing size, NOT age. For a sizing chart, please visit: http://www.windsweptdesignsonline.com/sizing-chart

Buy on Ravelry. Buy on Craftsy

Also, we recommend NOT using a variegated yarn for the floral border.  Below, you can see why.  The floral border gets lost in the myriad of colors.

If you choose not to use the recommended kitchen cotton, you may want to adjust the straps. The kitchen cotton will keep the stockinette stitch straps flat, but a different yarn may not.
