I am in love with the Damson Madder Jimmy jacket with the matching scarf. I thought maybe I would knit a scarf but I'm really struggling to find a pattern in the same shape.

It's triangle scarf with a notch for the neck.... Is there a name for this shape? I have attached a screenshot of a woman sewing the jacket and you can see the shape of the scarf on the floor behind her.

I can freestyle it but it would be nice to have a bit of a guide.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!
I’m knitting the Step by Step Sweater by Florence and have cast on 72 stitches. I’m using 5 mm circular needles with a 40 cm cable, but it looks like the cable might be too long for the number of stitches.

Is this normal, or should I use a shorter cable even tho I’m using the one recommended. By the way I’m totally a beginner:))

Hi! I saw this knit at Zara and would like to make it instead of buying it. Does anyone know of a pattern that has the same kind of style ? Thanks :)

Hi! I'm planning to make the Step-by-Step Sweater as my first garment. I was checking reviews and comments about it and saw that a common issue with Drops Nepal is that it pills extremely fast.

Even though it's not expensive, I'm wondering if it is worth knitting something that pills so fast, especially since it's a good yarn and pattern for a first garment.

I've seen some people mixing it with some type of mohair to avoid it, but I'm not sure how that would affect the yarn selection and/or gauge.

Just wanted to hear people's thoughts on that!

ETA thank you for the feedback. I think I was using the wrong terms. I will block this sweater! Happy sweater weather, friends! 🍁

I did it!! I finished the cable knit SMOCKY CARDIGAN that I was on here considering frogging and I’m so glad I didn’t. Like most things I make it is chockablock with little errors and counting mistakes :) anyways it’s adorable on and it’s really rustic bouncy yarn and I don’t think I’m going to block it. (I don’t think I’m going to block it because everything is very boingy and bouncy and alive in the yarn and I’m worried it would go away if I block. . . That is my thinking.)However, I respect all of your wisdom, and would favor your thoughts. I’m waiting on some blue ceramic buttons to arrive so there’s no rush. In case you happen to see this.

I'm thinking about starting and I'd like to know what tips or recommendations you could give me: Advice you would have liked to receive, materials, videos, books, etc. Thanks! ✨

I’ve been trying for nearly a year to get my tension just right when knitting continental but I just can’t figure it out.

The yarn weight doesn’t seem to make a difference - tension is nonexistent with all weights. I’ve watched so many tutorials for how to do it, but I just can’t figure it out.

When I knit English, my tension is beautiful and my work looks so much better.

Is it pointless to try and get continental down when English works just fine for me? I just want to knit faster. I have crocheted for years so it seems like continental should come naturally, but it doesn’t.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to do The Essential Sweater by other loops and it’s throwing me for a loop. What does this meeeean?

I am just about to start on the crewneck part and I have 39 stitches on my needles so that whole thing with 23 rows in stockinette must be wrong right?

I’m only a few hours into my first project, I’ve discovered that I unfortunately picked an acrylic yarn that likes to stick to itself & that’s making it kinda difficult to see what I’m doing at times. I’m so new to this that I can’t even explain what I did wrong but I’m having a hard time getting past this part & it’s way too early to give in so I need help. What did I do wrong & please tell me I can fix it?? Why does that loop have so much extra slack?? If I ignore it will it be fine?

Hey, I want to knit the Clover Sweater Junior with my yarn stash. The pattern suggests 3 strands of lace weight yarn (equating to Aran weight), would using drops baby merino held double be okay?

Not sure if the structure of the drops yarn will make it look too stiff?

TIA

I recently purchased some yarn online to make the westknit mkal. When I opened the parcel it all smells heavily like floral perfume. It’s fiddlesticks peppin 4. Has anyone else noticed this on the same yarn, or is this a store/packaging issue?

I found a few old Harrisville Designs two ply yarn cones at a thrift store and the wool is in great condition and I would love to knit something with it. I have never worked with coned yarn before and I made a little gauge swatch and washed it with some dish soap and warm water (it probably could have been hotter) and soaked it twice. The yarn on the cone does not smell bad but my rinsed swatch smells terribly like old oil. I have not used any wool wash on it yet because I wasn't sure if I should use it before getting all the oils out. I was wondering if anyone has advice for how to get as much of the oils out as possible, or if it even is possible on yarn this old. Thank you!

I'm a intermediate knitter (about 5 years in) and I'm finally wanting to splurge on my first interchangeable set!! I'm having trouble deciding on the material of the needles, so I thought I'd ask! I mostly knit in fingering weight and do a ton of colorwork... Any suggestions for what material I should get?

Edit: Thanks for the feedback!- Sounds like I should just buy singles until I figure out my taste for myself :)

Anyone else try to find knitpro ginger cubics tips in the US? Cannot find them, anyone know why they aren't available?

for my next project i want to make the vintage penguin sweater https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/vintage-penguin-sweater

i was looking for yarn recommendations for something not itchy, but with good stitch definition. preference would be 100% wool for warmth and durability, but i’d be open to other options. i was thinking about drops baby merino but worried about the cable definition being lost.

the recommended yarn seems to be not sold anymore and all the info is in korean, but is an aran merino wool. i’m struggling to find gauge info to choose something similar.

I have 2 nieces to knit for and my siblings had already selected a long list of Pernille Larson's (Knitting for Olive) patterns for me to knit from. But now that KFO was sold to Private Equity I don't want to buy from them anymore. So, what are your favorite baby knit designers?

The only other designer I've found so far that has the same level of detail and finishing techniques is NashKnits: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/nashknits-ravelry-store

This is my first sweater and my first sleeve. I just noticed that my sleeve stitches are looking much smaller than the shoulder stitches (purple line to show separation). I’ve been kinda fighting with my short needles because it’s new and just feels so cramped, so I’m wondering if my tension is just tighter. I could also be using a half millimeter smaller needle…but I’m not totally sure. This project sat for a long time and I’m blanking on if I followed what the pattern said exactly. It feels like a possibility. So mainly, I’m wondering if this cause issues with the fit? Is the froggit territory? OR maybe I’m just trippin and being too critical. Thoughts?

i will write a pattern down for the beret soon now that i have made a few

Hello! I wanted more expert eyes on this. I'm knitting the Terrazzo hat, holding 3 yarns together (1 is mohair). I'm struggling to tell if I'm picking up the right stitches for the folded cuff.

Had to laugh at this ad I came across of a woman "knitting." I love zooming in on ads and determining if they are indeed knitting or not. This one looks like she's been given a crocheted project and just wrapped the yarn around a knitting needle a couple times.

How can I go back and fix the bind off that I chose for this neck liner?

I have seemed the shoulders and then I realized that the neck is too tight. The back panel I did use a stretchy bind off I believe I did the tubular bind off. But the front neck part must be too tight because I just did a normal bind off.

Am I able to fix it without undoing the seams? Probably not… I have already started trying to undo the neck line (blue stitch marker)

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting in this subreddit. I'm knitting the Village Green cardigan by Sarah Hatton.
I first tried knitting the sleeves flat, as the pattern suggested, but the seam looked so ugly! So I frogged both sleeves and decided to knit in the round.

I'm increasing one stitch after the beginning of a row and one before the end of the row every 8 rows, with M1L and M1R respectively. However, I still feel like this column of increases looks so terrible.

Do you have any advice on how to improve it? I think the texture helps to "absorb" the ugly stitches, but by adding two extra every 8 rows changes the pattern and it's hard to decide how to continue on the first two or three rows after the increases.

Like the title says, I got a code for 30 percent off Olga patterns and I can’t get it to work. Any help or ideas?

I'm curious about what's your favorite project you have done or what's your favorite things to knit....

Favorite yarn and color scheme

Can anyone suggest either a hat pattern or other suggestion for these two skeins. No cowls or scarfs please. Thank you.
