Womans Textured Sleeveless Pullover Free Pattern

This was a really popular item from our recent newsletter.

With its springy twist, Greenland is for all levels of knitters – cables really pop and garments spring back to shape after steaming. There are many colors, a cool cottony feel, and easy care – this is a yarn that is great for the whole family and lots of different projects.

Then download your free pattern to make this Woman’s Textured Sleeveless Pullover that was designed by Melissa Leapman just for Greenland.

Go order yourself some Greenland to make this vest, 6 (7, 8, 9, 10) balls for bust sizes 34 (37, 40, 43½, 46½)”.

Announcing the Princess Knitalong
Wow! Our Bridgewater KAL filled up in 24 hours – it promises to be a lot of fun. But don’t despair if you missed out – we have added another KAL from “Made in Brooklyn” by Jared Flood – this time the Princess Mittens (using the pattern “Grove”).

Sunday Afternoon from 1:30pm to 3:30pm, starting on October 11th, and continuing on the 25th and November 8th. There will be no charge and you are welcome to join the Knitalong which will be held in the store. Once again, we expect that the KAL will be over-subscribed so sign up soon, and we have some requirements:

  • Announcing the Princess KnitalongYou must register either online here or by calling the store.
  • You must attend the first session on October 11th to be able to attend subsequent sessions.
  • You must own a copy of “Made in Brooklyn” – you can purchase it here if you don’t already own it.
  • You must purchase yarn for the Princess Mittens from US before the KAL starts.

This project is for the knitter with an intermediate skill level. You will use a variety of stitches, basic lace techniques, and charts. Perfect this mitten and you’ve solved a lot of holiday gift giving problems.

Announcing the Princess KnitalongDesigned by Jared Flood and featured in his Classic Elite Collection “Made in Brooklyn”, this what Jared says about his creation:

“These mittens have an intricate, twisted stitch motif that creates a beautiful relief pattern – inspired by twisting vines and tree roots. Knitted stitches are all worked through the back loop to create the sculptural texture characteristic of twisted stitch motifs. Multiple- ply and high-twist yarns will maximize stitch definition and let the stitches sing. Shaping of the vine-like motifs on th hand is done with the use of yarn overs and decreasing – aside from the cuff, no cabling occurs in the main portion of the mitten. The cuff motif, a spiraling 1 x 1 rib is mirrored on each hand, and involves moving the marker as you work, to keep the spiral pattern unbroken. I hope you enjoy knitting these as much as you will in wearing them”!

This project is for the knitter with an intermediate skill level. You will use a variety of stitches, basic lace techniques, and charts. The more industrious among you could get this finished by Christmas, however, don’t worry – we’ll schedule sessions for the New Year for those amongst us who’ll need more time.

Bridgewater Knitalong with CompanyDesigned by Jared Flood and featured in his Classic Elite Collection “Made in Brooklyn“, this what Jared says about his creation:

“The piece is a perfect square, with the center garter stitch portion (okay, so I guess I got a little more garter in than I may have originally let on) worked first, back and forth with lots of satisfying, mindless knitting. Just when you’re ready to ditch the simple stuff you’ll work the second section of horseshoe lace, picked up from the square’s perimeter and worked in the round, working increases at each of four corners. The delicate edging is worked last and knitted-on in place of a bind off”.
