Simple Lines Scarf.


First of all, thank you for all your comments on my previous post! For some reason I'm not able to reply to the comments, every time I try the whole site gets stuck. Which sucks. But I really appreciate them all. It was nice to hear that you guys feel the same way about knitting and I really love the mutual support in the online knitting community, the love spread between people is just amazing! 

This scarf has been on my needles for quite a while, and no wonder, after a quick calculation I came to the conclusion that I have knitted 85.624 stitches and gone through 1 kilometre and 272 meters of yarn to get this thing off my needles. Definitely worth it if you ask me. This will be something I will love and cherish for years to come. 

The pattern is from Temple of Knit website and is freely available. You can also find it via Ravelry. 


I used baby alpaca silk blend yarn for this scarf, which is immensely soft and gives the fabric a nice shine. I continued knitting until the scarf was about 200 cm long as the designer suggested, instead of 160 cm that the pattern originally instructed. I also casted on 2 more stitches than was supposed to, 154 instead of 152. This was just a mistake I made, and didn't feel like starting over again since it really didn't matter.

The scarf is so lovely that Luna is using it as a pillow at this very moment as she sleeps next to me while I'm writing. 




Yarn: Drops Baby Alpaca Silk # 8101 light grey

    That is really lovely. Such a practical knit, and one you'll be wearing for years and years, I would bet. I haven't knit a scarf for myself since I first started knitting, but every year I wish I had one. Maybe this will be the year I do it!

      I love scarfs but knitting them always takes me a long time, but it's always worth it in the end. This wasn't the most exciting knit there is but I'm sure I will wear it to bits. Good luck with your scarf knitting!

    ooh, this scarf looks so wonderfully cozy, and I love the clean lines of it. Like a really zen sort of knit! Beautiful.

      Thanks! I've been wearing it a lot ever since I got it off my needles! It was definitely a zen knit, almost borderline boring at times, but definitely worth all the hours put into it!

Salut Chéri! Beret Pattern.

Here is the pattern for the berets I've knitted. The name for the beret is from the t-shirt I was wearing when I took the project photos of the first beret for Ravelry. I thought the name suited the beret, since it's quite classical take on the hat that has become the icon of everything French. Happy knitting! Salut Chéri! You need:  yarn: 105-125 m (114 - 137 yards) worsted weight yarn. The sample was knitted with Novita Joki ( 104 m or 114 yard per 50g) needles : 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm (US size 4 and 6) circular needles (40 cm or 16 inches) size 4.0 mm (US size 6) DPNs 6 stitch markers , one of a different color to indicate the beginning of the round Gauge : 10 sts and 16 rounds = 5 cm (2 inches) in straight Stockinette stitch with 4.0 mm needles Cast on 88 sts on 3.5mm circular needle. Join in round, careful not to twist the stitches. Place a marker to indicate the beginning of the round. Knit in straight Stockinette stitch (knit all

(By Far) The Easiest Way to K4Tog.

I have published earlier a post on an easy way to k4tog - knit 4 stitches together - which is an essential stitch in my Cloud mitten pattern. As you might already know it is a bit challenging especially with 2.5 mm bamboo needles that not only have sharp tips but are bendy and especially prone to snapping. Stubborn as I am, I wasn't going to give up and change the design just to make it easier to knit. So I came up with the idea of using a tiny crochet hook to pull the working stitch through other three.  I was planning to use this same method when knitting the second pair of Cloud mittens, but alas, I couldn't find the hook anywhere. I seem to have misplaced it and I just can't remember where I put it... And as you know I don't crochet often so the second smallest hook I had was size 3.5 mm which didn't work for this purpose for obvious reasons.  So I was back to square one trying to figure out how to do the k4tog in an easy way when I got the idea of rev
