Velvet Cowl
The cowl is knit diagonally.
I used 12mm needles, but thicker needles can be used as well.
CO18
Row 1: ssk k until last stitch kfb
Row 2: purl
Row 3: ssk k until last stitch kfb
Row 4: *knit yo* repeat
Row 5: ssk knit (dropping all yo's) until last stitch kfb
Row 6: ssk k until last stitch kfb
Knit until you run out of material - ideally until the cowl would fit nicely over your head. Then connect the ends by grafting or sewing.

Plain with Picots
These wrist warmers have a lovely victorian look.
However, they are very simple in construction and easy to knit ... basically only in 3p1 ribbing with a bit of garter stitch and picots on both ends.
This pattern is suited for beginners who would like to try Picot Cast-on and Picot Bind-Off.
This work by Knitting and so on is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
Materials:
3.5 mm dpns
4mm dpns
a tapistry needle
about 90 metres of cotton yarn
Gauge:
with 4mm needles: 5 sts and 9 rows = 1 inch x 1 inch in garter stitch
Instructions:
With 4 mm needle picot cast on 36 sts (i.e. CO 5, BO 2 ... now you have 3 sts on the needle - repeat until you have 36 sts, a video explanation of the picot cast on can be found here)
knit one round
purl one round
knit one round
purl one round
knit one round
Change to 3.5mm neeldes
from the next round on: (k3 p1)
repeat for about 30 rows
Round A: (k3 p1 k1 [k1 without dropping the st from left needle, yo, k1] k1 p1 k3 p1) repeat
Rounds B & C: (k3 p1 k5 p1 k3 p1) repeat
Round D: (k3 p1 k2 [k1 without dropping the st from left needle, yo, k1] k2 p1 k3 p1) repeat
Rounds E & F: (k3 p1 k7 p1 k3 p1) repeat
(there are now 48 sts in one round)
change to 4mm needles
knit one round
purl one round
knit one round
purl one round
picot bind off (i.e. CO2, BO5; a video explaining the picot bind off can be found here).
Weave in ends.
Make two.
The finished piece measures about 15 cm circumference and is about 17 cm long (picot end to picot end).

- Stitch holder or safety pin (to secure the stitches of the thumb gusset)
Length = ca. 20 cm, Circumference = ca. 18 cm
Gauge
26 stitches x 34 rows = 9 cm x 9 cm
Instructions:

Row 1 - 7: p1 k8 (6 times)
Row 8: p1 k2 c4f k2 p1 k8 (3 times)
Row 9 = Row 1

Thumb gusset:
I started in row 46, i.e. the 3rd time I reached Row 10 of the pattern. The thumb "grows" from one of the purl channels - while knitting the thumb gusset, continue with the cable pattern.
When you reach the first purl channel:
Row t1: m1 (purlwise) p1 m1 (purlwise)
Row t2: purl 3
Row t3: m1 (purlwise) p3 m1 (purlwise)
Row t4: purl 5

Row t12: purl13
Row t13: m1 (purlwise) p13 m1 (purlwise)
Row t14: purl 15
Row t15: place 15 purl stitches on stitch holder, make one (to form the p1 of the pattern) and continue with cable pattern.
Thumb:
After binding off, place 15 sts from stitch holder on two dpns and pick up 5 stitches from the row above and the sides.
- purl one round
- purl one round up to the last stitch (you have now finished knitting 4 of the 5 stitches on the upper needle)
p2tog p13 p2tog (this is to avoid gaps between thump and main piece)
- purl two more rounds and bind off.
Weave in ends.

From Pantyhose to Phone Sock
It's not much of a fancy pattern, but maybe an interesting idea for recycling.
Material:
- 8mm dpns (or 8mm circular knitting needles using magic loop technique)
- about two pairs of pantyhose cut into yarn (a tutorial can be found here).
- tapistry needle
- CO24 sts (I used knitted cast on to minimize the tail)
- join in round
- knit 35 rounds (depending on the size of your phone)
- bind off using kitchener stitch (a tutorial can be found here)
- weave in ends

Wendepunkt-Mütze
Diese Mütze wird in offener Arbeit hin und her gestrickt und kommt vollständig ohne verkürzte Reihen aus. Man startet mit einem sogenannten “magischen Maschenanschlag” von einer Seite des Kopfes, strickt Zunahmen bis zur Mitte, nimmt anschließend Maschen ab und beendet mit einem “Abketten mit drei Nadeln”.
Eine früher veröffentlichte englischer Version dieser Anleitung findet sich hier. In dieser wird auch das allgemeine Prinzip erklärt, mit dem man diese Mütze in anderen Grössen stricken kann.
Here's the english version of this knitting pattern.
Material
- ca. 50 gr Sockenwolle (4-fädiges Garn )
- 2.75 mm Rundstricknadel
- 2 Maschenmarkierer
- eine dritte Stricknadel (auch ca. 2.75 mm) um am Ende abketten zu können
Maschenprobe und Größe
In Krausrechts: 11 Rippen (22 Reihen) = 5 cm Höhe, 12 Maschen = 5 cm Breite
Die fertige Mütze hat etwa die Grösse S-M, d.h. sie hat einen Umfang von ca. 50 cm (am Bündchen) und ist flach ausgelegt 23 cm hoch. Das Bündchen ist aber sehr elastisch und kann bequem bis zu 56 cm gestreckt werden.
Ja, hier braucht man leider eine Maschenprobe - und es ist auch ratsam den Kopf des vorgesehenen Trägers zu messen.
Techniken und Notation
- kfb: aus einer Masche eine weitere herausstricken (einmal durch das vordere, dann durch das hintere Maschenglied) – dies entspricht der englischen Abkürzung “knit-front-back”), s.auch hier: https://youtu.be/q_KeANunPA8
- ssk: zwei Maschen links geneigt zusammenstricken, dazu die erste Masche wie zum Rechtsstricken abheben, die zweite Masche wie zum rechtsstricken abheben, dann mit der linken Nadel durch beide Maschen hindurch stechen, und beide zusammen abstricken, (entspricht dem “slip-slip-knit” in englischen Anleitungen), s. auch hier: https://youtu.be/LbzyZzMf5Jc
- Judys Magischer Maschenanschlag: eine Anschlag-Technik, bei der man Maschen an zwei Seiten erstellt, siehe die erste Technik in diesem YouTube-video von Sylvie Rasch – CraSy creative things: https://youtu.be/EdFcr31yqQI
- Abketten mit drei Nadeln: https://youtu.be/30GQlCrqUGQ (YouTube-Video von Stricken wir!)
- Einen flachen Kreis aus der Mitte stricken in glattrechts: Man startet mit 8 Maschen, und nimmt in jeder zweiten Reihe jeweils – gleichmäßig verteilt – weitere 8 Maschen zu. Diese Technik wird hier auf einen Halbkreis angewendet, d.h. in jeder zweiten Reihen (also hier in jeder Hinreihe) werden 4 Maschen zugenommen. Um “Eckenbildung” zu vermeiden, strickt man die Zunahmen jeweils an unterschiedlichen Stellen. So wird es ein wirklich runder Halbkreis.
- Auch wenn diese Mütze flach gestrickt wird (hin und her), ist es sinnvoll dies in der Magic Loop Methode auf der Rundstricknadel zu arbeiten. Hier ein Video, das diese Technik erläutern: https://youtu.be/mB7kCsUsGD0 (YouTube-Video von Maschenfein Berlin)
- [X]*Y: bedeutet, dass die Folge X in den eckigen Klammern Y-mal gearbeitet werden soll, also z.B. [2 Mre. kfb]*3 bedeutet, dass die Folge “zwei rechte Maschen und ein kfb” insgesamt 3-mal gestrickt werden soll.
- Weitere Abkürzungen
- HR: Hinreihe
- RR: Rückreihe
- Mre: rechte Masche(n)
- Mli: linke Masche(n)
- MM: Maschenmarkierer
- 2 M re. zus., 2 Maschen rechts zusammenstricken
