Knitting: Washcloth / Dishcloth
These cute spa cloths are oval shaped (about 7.5x9”). They only take one Euroflax Sport Weight mini-skein and knit up quickly.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Simple lace knitting. Lovely 100% Euroflax wetspun linen for all seasons; becomes very soft with machine washing and drying.
Knitting: Cowl
This quick knit cowl out of Euroflax linen is wonderful for warmer weather. It’s a quick knit using 5 mini-skeins. The cast on for the cowl uses Judy Becker’s magic cast on so there are live stitches to make an invisible join once you’ve finished knitting.
Knitting: Market bag (slouchy)
The bag has an oval base, a front and back panel and two sides. If you’ve knitted a toe-up sock, you’ll find it easy to get the bag started . If not, it’s a fun time to learn!
Knitting: Intimate Apparel - Other, Sleepwear
Who wouldn’t love to sleep in linen nightwear? Marilyn is definitely not your traditional shorty pajamas: Trudy’s goal was to not only make it comfortable, but sexy as well. The loose-fitting boxers and camisole top are knit with Euroflax sport weight. The crocheted inserts in the boxers and the bust cups use Euroflax lace weight to reduce bulk.
Crochet: Robe
This garment can be worn as a cover-up for night-wear or as a top over slacks. It is worked from the shoulder down which makes for a nice finished bottom and it makes it easy to adjust the length for your preference. The lacy pattern lends itself well to weaving ribbon through and the placement of ribbon can be adjusted easily.
Knitting: Sleeveless Top
A sweet, faux-cabled camisole that ties at the top with a ribbon and features straps that can be configured in lots of ways: halter, spaghetti strap, or crossed. This sassy linen camisole knits up very quickly in an easy faux cable pattern. Short rows are added across the bust for a better fit. During knitting, the camisole will look long and n...
Knitting: Tee
A dainty purl stitch pattern combined with subtle shaping adds to the femininity of this linen blouse. It is knit in one piece to the underarm and then separated. The gently curving knit-in hem is achieved through shortrowing. Knit-in facings on the right and left fronts add firmness to the button and buttonhole bands. The large lace collar dou...
Knitting: Tee
Dawn is a fun and versatile little top that can be knit with alternate colors or in a solid color as shown here. Trudy was ahead of her time when she designed this tee shirt to be form fitting. It is knit in the round, and uses short row shaping to create bust darts for a perfect tee. The neckline is picked up on the wrong side and then finishe...
Knitting: Tee
This scooped necked, cabled T-shirt, is worked up quickly in an easy cable pattern. It is knit in 2 pieces with the cap sleeves worked at the same time. The front and back are knit back and forth using circular needles. The circular needles are required in order to do the sideways cable border and neckband.
Crochet: Cowl
Made with simplicity and style, this accessory can be worn as both an elegant shrug for more formal settings or as a fashionable cowl for everyday. One skein of Louet Euroflax goes a long way using the easy-to-master Soloman’s Knot stitch. This lacey piece works up very quickly using a spiral, in-the-round construction with no seaming.
Knitting: Vest
Knit in one piece, this light and airy vest will add a touch of class to your wardrobe. The side and back points are knit first with the pattern carrying through to the body of the vest. A garter stitch edging is worked at the same time on the left and right fronts. The only finishing required is joining the shoulders with a 3-needle bind off.
Knitting: Market bag (slouchy)
Designed after our popular crocheted pouch bag, this easy-to knit linen bag will be something you will want with you at all times. Turning the pouch inside out and stuffing the remainder of the bag inside, gives you a neat little package that will fit in your purse or pocket.
Knitting: Sleeveless Top, Cardigan
This pattern has been re-released as part of the new book She Made Them Her Own: The Best of Trudy Van Stralen.
Knitting: Skirt
Comfort and beauty combine in our Ingrid skirt. Ruffles slanting to the side seams make this skirt extra special. The lace pattern in the ruffles naturally forms on a slant, and short rows on the center front and back allow the lace to stay that way. Offered in three lengths, this skirt can go anywhere.

Co-host Eunny Jang demonstrates how to make this “Ashley” skirt in Episode 108-5 of Knitting Daily TV. This skirt uses pleats of linen yarn for beautiful drape with a lightweight Louet linen yarn that washes up beautifully.
Knitting: Skirt
“This easy-to-knit skirt will be a lovely addition to any wardrobe,” says Van Stralen. “The length of the ruffle is easily adjusted to suit your taste. Eyelets around the top of the ruffle allow you to weave ribbon through to add flare.” Louet is too modest to mention that linen is one of the very best possible fibres out of which to knit a ski...
Knitting: Sleeveless Top
Our “Emma” camisole can be knit with or without the eyelets, and is ideal for embellishing. Needle-felting, crocheted accents, ribbon or beading are just a few of the techniques which can be used. Whether you choose to embellish or not, this camisole can easily go from casual to fancy evening wear.
Knitting: Strapless Top
Co-host Eunny Jang demonstrates how to make this Alicia Corset in Episode 101 of Knitting Daily TV.
