Our friends at Espace Tricot have a new pattern on Ravelry.

Virevolte means twirling, spinning, looping, about turn, which describes the process I went through in designing this shawl!

Classic Elite Yarns has a new pattern for a light and airy scarf and shawl.

Light and airy, this scarf or generously sized wrap is lightning quick to knit and couldn’t be simpler. Just cast on and knit! Wet blocking turns loosely knit garter stitch into an etheral fabric perfect for a summer accessory.

Summer is coming and this will be the perfect accessory. Worn as a capelet or a cowl, this quick knit is worked from the bottom up in stockinette stitch. Thanks Classic Elite Yarns for the free pattern.

Cotton and Linen combine for a summery yarn in a popular worsted weight. The linen fiber has a subtle sheen and adds body; cotton adds stitch definition and softness. This yarn gets even softer the more it’s worn and the light and vibrant palette is perfect for warm weather wear.
