Cute, easy, and free can't be beat! I did make a bunch of modifications (figured out the rows to do ombré stripes and didn't do the garter stitch down the sleeve). I'll post a pic tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-favorite-knitting-or-crochet-pattern#post-2326633 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 06:44:27 +0000 skipra 2326633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS needed more sweaters and I have lots of yarn and was feeling broke so I made this for him. It is soooo easy and really cute! <a href="http://tincanknits.com/pattern-SC-flax.html" rel="nofollow">http://tincanknits.com/pattern-SC-flax.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-favorite-knitting-or-crochet-pattern#post-2326603 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 01:58:19 +0000 PurplePeony 2326603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite baby blanket pattern is Jared Flood's Umaro -- you can find it on Ravelry or at the Brooklyn Tweed website. I've made it...6 times? It calls for super bulky yarn but if you use a worsted weight and cast on the same number of stitches called for in the pattern, it makes the perfect size for a baby blanket. Also love the Twin Leaf baby blanket at paintinglilies.com, which I've made a couple times. Neither is for a true beginner, but they're easy intermediate patterns. My favorite baby sweater at the moment is Granny's Favorite by Georgie Hallam/Tikki Knits on Ravelry, although all her patterns are great -- Wallaby is really cute and somewhat easier (no lace). And for a me-centered project, Jared Flood's Guernsey Wrap is a really fun and pretty quick knit. My current project is JF's Celes scarf, which is definitely intermediate to advanced -- I'm a pretty seasoned lace knitter and I really have to pay close attention and be hyper-vigilant about counting rows. So it's not the most fun knit, but it's SO beautiful I think it will be worth it in the end. And I'm using Galler Prime Alpaca, which is pure joy. I can't decide whether I'm impatient for it to be done or whether I want to keep knitting it FOREVER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-favorite-knitting-or-crochet-pattern#post-2326553 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 22:22:46 +0000 winter_wonder 2326553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: thank you!

I tried others and they wouldn't lay flat. Hers is so much better. <a href="http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/ripple-blanket-know-how.html" rel="nofollow">http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/ripple-blanket-know-how.html</a> </p> <p>I also like her granny stripe. <a href="http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/granny-stripe.html" rel="nofollow">http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/granny-stripe.html</a>. I didn't use as many colors.

I bet the three-strand one would look awesome in a half-double crochet, too. I've never crocheted with such a big needle...I will have to try that!

That one will be perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-favorite-knitting-or-crochet-pattern#post-1389388 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 01:32:22 +0000 BeachMama 1389388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @mfa_lady! I wanted bright happy colors and nothing too girly. I'm really happy w it and DD sleeps w it every night. Unfortunately some strands have started to snag on it. Not sure how to fix it, and DD likes to pull on them :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-favorite-knitting-or-crochet-pattern#post-1386872 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 08:17:35 +0000 mfa_lady 1386872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BeachMama: It's GORGEOUS! I adore the colors you chose. Seems like it would be so nice and cushy for a new babe, too! Awesome job.

You're making this?! I saw it ages ago and have been dying to do it - but it looked like it would take forever and like it would also use up a zillion yards of yarn.
