Forest Beehive Shawlette

Hello everyone! I made this shawlette after I received a very cute gift from my eight-year-old niece when she returned from vacation. She brought me a pack of three yarn skeins, which she carefully picked herself. I was ecstatic to be given such a thoughtful present, plus, it was my first encounter with Daiso's yarn, or any Japanese yarn, ever. The yarn is bulky and has a nice earthy color palette. Knitting a simple-patterned, asymmetrical shawl is the best way to showcase the lovely color sequence of this yarn, so once the bases of the design were set, I finished knitting the whole thing in two days. I am incredibly happy with the outcome, and I hope you will try making it, too. Please let me know what you think of it and stay tuned for more projects!

Big Pockets Skirt

Hi everyone! I'm back again with another knitted skirt. Knitting a basic skirt like this one is an overall easy project. You can follow one of two strategies to make one; either knit it as one piece, worked in rounds (see my Bold Stripes Skirt post), or as two pieces, front and back, sewn together along the side seems. I made a skirt of the second kind and added two large side pockets. One of my favorite aspects about this skirt is the buttons; they are not only decorative, but they also fasten the front to back part of the waistband. Another feature of the skirt that I took great care to show off is the “I-cord” like line that starts from the waistband, along the pocket opening, and continues down the side seams to the hem. I hope you try out this design, and I can’t wait to hear your feedback about this project. Let me know if you liked it or had any comments about it. My next project might be a matching top, but I haven’t decided yet, so stay tuned!

Row 2: bind off 28 sts, purl the p sts and knit the k sts. [65 (75, 85) sts]

Finish knitting the back piece by following the same instructions for the front, starting with Basic rows 1 and 2 to the end of that section. 

Sewing skirt pieces: Place the back piece face down on your working table, then fold the pockets towards the middle line of the skirt. Place the front piece on top and pin the two pieces together. Sew the seams of the pockets to the underside of the front (use hidden st technique). Sew skirt front and back side seams together (from pocket ends to the hem). Sew buttons in place. Weave in loose yarn ends. To prevent the skirt's waistband from becoming too loose, I passed four pieces of transparent elastic thread through it. 

You can watch my tutorial video to see more details about making this skirt, including the sewing process:

Bold Stripes Hat

 

Hello friends! Making an accessory from yarn, such as a hat, a set of mittens or a head band that matches a sweater or skirt can seriously enhance the overall look of your chosen outfit. So, having a lot of leftover yarn, I had to make a matching hat for the Bold Stripes Skirt and Top set to be complete. This hat has the same general pattern of the other two pieces, although the final look leans more towards a beret shape. I've made this hat in two sizes that I hope can fit most heads. You can even knit it with a different colored yarn to break the monotone of the outfit. It's a pretty easy knit, especially if you had made the skirt or the top before. I hope you enjoy making and wearing it!

Powder Stripes Shawl

Hello guys! I’m glad to be back and working after I inevitably got infected with Omicron a couple of weeks ago and had my fair share of all its symptoms. I feel much better now and hope to regain my full strength soon! And that’s why, due to my health state, this shawl took a relatively long time to finish, though it’s here at last! I think my saving grace was that it was an easy knit, the yarn colors are also very easy on the (tired) eyes and didn’t give me a hard time during my illness. As it is a quick work, it could be a great gift for the coming spring weeks with all its lovely occasions. The pattern is simple and consists of 20 rows that are worked using each yarn color alternately. I hope you enjoy making this beautiful shawl, and I wish you all a very healthy spring!

Bold Stripes Skirt

Hi knitters! Back in my twenties and thirties, I used to sew every piece of clothing I wore myself, and making skirts was my specialty. I've probably sewn and worn every kind of skirt that was popular back then. Nowadays I may no longer sew as I used to, but I still have passion for skirt making. That's why when I saw this 'mosaic' yarn at the store, I knew I had to make one. My debut knitted skirt design is simple, with bold lines, and a clear statement. It is an easy pattern, made with only knit and purl stitches, and the length is easily customizable to be as long or short as you prefer. So here is a quick winter project for you that you can finish in a day or two. If this skirt design does well, I'm planning to make more, perhaps longer and flowy-er ones, using thinner types of yarn, but non the less simple and easy to make. So, stay tuned to all my future projects, especially the matching crop top that I'm working on right now. Happy holidays everyone!
