Hilde's Corner



Warm weather is here!! Time for warm weather knitting!

I’ve been doing some searching for tee patterns. Here’s what I’ve come up with:


In the shop we have this pretty fingering cotton yarn, Huasco Coton Kettle Dyes and have found this pattern that would work nice with this yarn - Stromboli by Caitlin Hunter (selling on Ravelry for $9) seems nice and airy with all the pretty lace on it.



I really love this tank made with linen yarn - Notched Hem Tank Top by Purl Soho and it’s free on Ravelry! It calls for a fingering weight linen, but I see that many projects have used Juniper Moon Zooey with success, even though this is considered a DK weight yarn. Because this tank has a simple pattern, I think the other linen yarn the shop carries, Summer Solstice Paints, would be a really fun one to try on this pattern! It is still not a fingering weight yarn, but a sport weight. Using either of these yarns, one would have to experiment with and work up a few gauge swatches to double check all is in working form.



Idalou by Laura Aylor is a sweet little cardigan that sells for $7 on Ravelry. It uses a DK weight yarn and we just brought in Satiny by Jody Long - a cotton yarn that would work beautifully here.


This last pattern is not a tee at all, but with its meshy patterning it really says “summer” to me! It’s Kingfisher in Flight Shawl by Littletheorem and is $5. I would use a more solid or tonal yarn for this one, so Heritage by Cascade would be nice, or a tonal Malabrigo Ultimate Sock. I think it would be cute to throw on when A/C gets too cold.


Now if I could just knit fast enough to finish one of these before summer is over!

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!):  Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here:  Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Free Pattern - Moose Mountain Cowl

Materials:  Yarnalia Cloud - 50g / 142 Yards - Main Color = Grey, Contrast Color = Blue 70% Baby Alpaca 7% Merino Wool 23%Recycled Polyamide US13 24” Circular Knitting Needles   1 Stitch Marker   Gauge : 12.5 stitches per 4” in Pattern Finished Measurements:  Jen’s  Pattern Notes:  We love using this little knitting hack of knitting one round when we change our colors. This eliminates the purl stitches looking a little funky (if you know, you know).  We decreased by 25% of the stitches about halfway through the cowl to allow the top of the cowl to be a little closer to the neck and the bottom spread over your shoulders if you want to wear it that way! We gave you little check boxes to check off as you complete repeats. **PATTERN** Using Main Color, CO92, place stitch marker and join in the round Round 1: (K2, P2) Repeat parentheses all the way around Repeat Round 1 six more times       ⃞          ⃞...
