We have weaving on our minds here at the shop! A Little Knitty has become a distributor of looms and weaving workshops are coming to the shop! Teresa has made a nice sample for the shop and I love it so much that I am now learning to weave, too. Kris just finished her first woven project and it turned out so pretty!
Going with this weaving theme, I just found out about this fun looking knitting pattern that incorporates weaving in the portion that has dropped stitches. No loom needed! The pattern is Weave in Knit Scarf by Naamo Ido. I think the stripes would be a really fun use of leftover yarn. The pattern is free on Ravelry and can be used with any weight yarn! Love that!
You can also get the look of weaving without actually weaving by knitting the linen stitch. It is a close facsimile to the look you get with weaving. Two examples of this are The Linen Stitch Cowl by Carly Stripe and Linen Stitch Beanie by Katrine.
Both are free to download on Ravelry. They both used Malabrigo Arroyo, a sport weight yarn. I think Rainbow Beach would be great for this, too, with its color variations.
Here’s a pattern in linen stitch made with worsted weight yarn - Linen Weave Boomerang by Susan Ashcroft and sells for about $3.45 on Ravelry. She used Malabrigo Rios. I think a new yarn we just got in called Amano Warmi Journey would be fantastic for this because of its variegated colors. Noro Madara would also work well.
So you can see how easy it is to get the weaving bug, whether you actually weave or not!
