Atlee by Leah B. Thibault for Quince & Co,.

The range of what you can do with knitting is so broad and varied - colorwork, cables, lace, brioche, intarsia, etcetera. I love a good complex knit, but sometimes you want a palate-cleanser - something simple, just knits and purls - and why not make it in white?

In comes Atlee, my newest design for Quince & Co. - a simple, soothing tee. In Quince's Cleaner Cotton™ Willet, with an a-line shape, scooped neckline and textural details in the yoke, Atlee is a picture-perfect essential for easy days in the sun.

The tee is worked in the round from the bottom up and split for arms, with the ribbing picked up and worked after a three-needle bind-off at the shoulders. Simple tee, simple construction. Easy enough that you could make one in multiple colors! Which is good, because I want to knit one for myself, but how do I choose between Dinghy, Windlass, or Oar?

Ezekiel Saw - PDF Pattern

$6.00

Every so often, a design bursts, Athena-like, fully formed from its creator’s head. Ezekiel Saw is one such design for me. I had a clear vision of a triangle shawl in two-similarly toned, but distinct colors with detailed open lace bands. The subtly marled palette of CoopKnits’ Socks Yeah! provided the perfect material for bringing that vision to life.

The Wave and Wheel lace pattern of the bands creates a wheel within a wheel motif, reminiscent of an old folk song about an altogether different kind of vision, “Ezekiel Saw Da Wheel.”

66”/167 cm wingspan, 27” from center back to point
Yarn: Socks Yeah! by CoopKnits (75% Superwash Merino, 25% nylon; 230yd [212m]/50g)

Moxie Shawl - PDF Pattern

$6.00

For some in Maine, you are either a Mainer, meaning you were born here (and preferably your family has done so several generations back) or you are “From Away.” Originally from the West Coast, I’m certainly From Away, though I’ve lived in Maine for over a decade now, and I’ve come to love my home of choice, or wahlheimat as the Germans so succinctly put it.

While browsing at my local yarn shop, I came upon these three colors piled together in a cubby and thought- what perfect New England colors for summer! When I got it home and placed my purchase next to some Moxie packaging, I realized that it was perfect Maine summer colors. And so, inspired by the colors of Moxie soda, the official soft drink of Maine, the Moxie shawl is the perfect knit to both make and wear at the beach – whether your beach is in Maine or lands beyond.

Garter stitch and the single color per row mosaic colorwork keep the knitting simple and play up the texture of a linen-cotton blend yarn. The smaller kerchief is a great introduction to the mosaic knitting technique, while the finished shawl is big enough to keep ocean breezes at bay, make a handy sarong, and even be used as towel in a pinch!

While I may never quite fit that strict Mainer definition, I think this multi-use accessory shows some Yankee ingenuity, and yes, just a touch of moxie.

Juniper Moon Farm Zooey (60% Cotton, 40% Linen; 284yd 260m/100g) or similar DK weight yarn.

Color: Kerchief/Shawl
C1: White Pepper (03) 1 skein/2 skeins
C2: Orangeville (34) 1/2 skein/1 skein
C3: Mainsail (11) 1/2 skein/1 skein

This is a traditional triangle shawl worked from the center out, with four yarn over increases each RS row.

Mosaic knitting is worked with one color per row, with the design made by slipping stitches and thus pulling up a color from the row below.

Maian – PDF Pattern

A distinctive shape that lends itself well to knitted shawl construction.

The shawl is worked from the tip up, with a 5 stitch-wide garter stitch border. Increases are done via yarnovers at the start and end of each RS lace row, as well as with backward loop cast on sts in the garter stitch between lace sections.
