So many summer tops made this past season. My daughter keeps asking for written patterns! So here it comes: Summer from My Head!

This hat can be made with your fun leftovers of DK weight yarn. Make sure that the yarn is of the same composition. Do not mix washable with non-washable fibers.

Project was made in one panel and joined on the sides with “matress” stitch.

This pattern has been tested knitted in different sizes.

Sweater has been worked top down.

For the project you can use any DK weight yarn, preferably same brand.

Spin your own yarn!!!

If your friends ask for a sweater as a gift - here is your opportunity to give them a sweater for Christmas!

Gauge is not critical.

Gauge is not important.

For the project you will need 3 packs in any color. If you make 140 stitches wide, you will get about 30x90” wrap.

I used DK weight yarn and US#6 needles because I knit loosely. Also this hat was suggested as a chemo hat for a friend. Yarn is super soft and seems very appropriate for a delicate sensitive skin.

Gauge does not matter! You will need 5 skeins of Silk Garden Lite and 3 skeins of Silk Garden Lite Solo. Needle #7.

In the past I posted “44 Shades of Fun” pattern. A lot of people liked it. So to continue with that tradition I added this pattern. Basic idea is the same: to change pattern often enough, so you do not get bored! Only 4 rounds or so… Pattern is easy enough for an intermediate beginner.

This project done by using THICK Yarn and THIN yarn and design “plays on” the effect of using thin yarn with #9 needle, so it creates lacy effect. Thick yarn is used for texture and dramatic effect! This top is perfect as “cover up” over a dress with thin straps or strap-less dress. Tank top will be needed to wear it with slacks or jeans.

Pattern is written for specific yarn, because of the stretch you will need to use tight stitches, if you are a relaxed knitter #1 needle will be preferred. Glove is designed to be used during long hours of knitting and stay in place by being connected to only one finger. Glove should feel like a “craft glove” - slightly snug. If you want to rep...

Great project for a beginner. Looks more complicated than it is. If you have two special buttons to show off - here is your chance! You can seam the sides of the band… but it looses its “stylish look”. Seaming it will make it look casual. If this is the look you want, go for it! Buttons are optional. Gauge is not critical for this project since...

Fast knit. Total yardage for the project includes “fur” yarn. Caplet can be continued longer by adding more rows to the bottom. If adding more than 2” you will need to add more sts, but up to 2” you can knit without adding sts. Please contact me with any questions or changes.

Needle US#10 can be used to make blanket bigger, but you might need 4 skeins instead of 3. I used full 3 skeins. There was almost no yarn left. One skein makes almost 7 blocks.

Easy pattern, fast knit.

Gauge is not critical for this pattern, because you will knit the band till it fits around your head. You will have enough yarn in the skein to knit 22” hat.

44 Shades of Fun was designed to be a fun mix of stitch patterns to show off a single skein of yarn.

I used this pattern as a chemo hat pattern. That’s why I used Butterflies, hearts and flowers in the design, because for me they are mood picker-upper… I hoped it will make you feel better…It is also low fitting and stretchy, hugs your head very well. There is no rib at the bottom for easier fit and comfort.

Project knitted with two strands of yarn together. You can use any cotton worsted yarn and DK cotton yarn for the project. You will need more DK weight yarn, because you will use leftover DK yarn for the lining of the pocket.
