Favourite Cardigan

My Favourite knitting pattern by Georgie Nicolson.

This truly is one of my favourite knitted 

cardigan patterns.  

I came across this three years ago and fell in love with it. I found it on Ravelry as a paid pattern.  You can knit it in a size range of 28 - 60 inch chest.

Knitted from the yoke downwards, including a couple of bands of easy lace patterning.  The rest in stocking stitch.

I opted for a shorter sleeve length, but kept the body length the same.

I just happened to have in my yarn stash enough yarn to complete it.  I knitted it in DK/8ply wool yarn.  I can't tell you the brand, but the colour was 'Nectarine'; that I do remember.

Loved how it turned out.  I wear it often.

Basket Weave Beanie

Crochet:

The Basket Weave stitch has become very popular, and is widely used for hats, scarves, blankets, afghans and dishcloths.  A great all rounder pattern. 

Here I have used it for a beanie.  The size is very adaptable.  I have completed this one in a child's size.  It is worked from the crown down.

I came across this pattern on YouTube.com 

Here is the link to the video I followed:

Basket Weave Hat

Stepping Texture Hat

Crochet

This is a lovely hat to crochet.  I have made it in a baby size.  The pattern given is for an adult size.  But I found it easy to convert to different sizes, as along as you have the correct stitch count for the repeat pattern. 

I first found it on YouTube by the Crochet Crowd; where Mikey gives clear instructions as you follow him along.
