Pattern Previews for Everyday Knits: Easy Wardrobe Essentials
Everyday Knits: Easy Wardrobe Essentials includes 18 patterns, ranging from cosy sweaters and warm accessories to lightweight summer garments such as a dress, shorts and tops.
I Follow Rivers
I Follow Rivers features a relaxed fit with simple yet striking cables and a cropped hem. This pretty top doesn’t actually have sleeves at all, as the shoulders drop so much they are creating sleeves on their own.
Yarn: Knitting for Olive Pure Silk
Teenage Dream
The Teenage Dream Socks are knitted from the toe up. They feature simple stripes, a short-row heel and a long leg. These lightweight socks can be paired with any outfit, and you can play with bold colours or stick to classic combinations.
Yarn: Hedgehog Fibres Sock Yarn
Luka
Luka is a beautiful sweater with European dropped shoulders and a double-folded high collar and sleeve cuffs. The design is easily customisable — omit the slits, work the cuffs in simple ribbing, or replace the high collar with a shorter one.
Yarn: Magpie Fibers Swanky DK
Waterfalls
Waterfalls is a casual, midi-length dress knitted from the top down. The “straps” are intentionally loose and form a v-neck at the front and back as they drape. These relaxed shoulder straps stay in place with an i-cord string attached to the back of the neck.
Yarn: Rosarios 4 Principe Real
Jolene
Jolene is a soft and feminine sweater, knitted from the top down with fluffy yarn. The design features an elegant v-neck and a simple cable detail at the waist, shaping the otherwise relaxed, loose silhouette.
Yarn: Sandnes Garn Børstet Alpakka
Style
Style is a fluffy, luscious scarf combining three easy stitch patterns and delicious colours. It can easily be modified by combining the different stitch patterns in various ways or by knitting the scarf longer or shorter — the choice is yours.
Yarn: Novita Hehku
Halo
The hem of this soft cardigan is finished with side slits, and the back is slightly longer than the front, creating a flattering silhouette. Snap buttons on the front complete the look.
Yarn: Isager Soft
Love on the Brain
Love on the Brain is a versatile wardrobe staple knitted in one piece from the top down, and features dropped shoulders, a relaxed fit, and doubled-over ribbing at the cuffs and neckline for a polished finish. The design is easily customisable, allowing you to adjust the hem length or modify the cuffs to suit your style.
Yarn: Lang Yarns Merino together with Lang Yarns Suri Alpaca
Lovefool
The Lovefool socks are knitted from the cuff down and feature a cute ruffle on the cuff. The rest of the sock has classic stockinette stitch throughout. These thin wool socks are versatile for many outfits and occasions — from lounging at home to pairing with boots out for a night in the city.
Yarn: Six and Seven Fiber Clover
Dancing on My Own
Dancing on My Own is a midi-length skirt with practical side pockets. The skirt section is knitted with soft, fluffy bouclé yarn, which creates a tex‑tured fabric, while the waistband and pockets are worked with sleek merino wool for a nice contrast.
Yarn: Säie Wool Merino Aran and Säie Wool Merino Bouclé DK
Sunny
Sunny is a simple and elegant top with beautifully finished i-cord edges. It is knitted from the top down, making it easy to adjust the length or add details such as stripes to suit your preferences. If you’re searching for a versatile wardrobe staple, look no further!
Yarn: BC Garn Soft Silk
Push It
Push It is a playful combination of a beanie with a brim and a scarf. The flaps are designed to be tied together under the chin, so you won’t need a separate scarf! However, the earflaps can be knitted to any preferred length. If you’d rather skip the earflaps and brim, you can use this pattern to create a “basic beanie” instead — simply knit it a bit longer for a folded-over ribbing.
Yarn: Blue sample: G-uld No. 1, brown sample: Sonder Yarn and Co. Sunday Morning 4-ply
Eternal Flame
Eternal Flame is knitted top down in one piece, featuring a beautiful seed stitch texture and short sleeves. The detail on the raglan seams continues from the neckline down to the hem. With its relaxed, loose-fitting design, this classic wardrobe staple is both stylish and versatile.
Yarn: La Bien Aimee Helix together with ITO Sensai
Fast Car
The Fast Car shorts capture the essence of freedom and adventure of those carefree student summers with no set plans. These lightweight, loose-fitting shorts are knitted from the top down and feature a high waist and practical side pockets.
Yarn: Ritual Dyes Undine
Alone
Alone is a lightweight, top-down dress with raglan sleeves. Designed for a relaxed fit, it’s the perfect choice when you’re longing for something soft and comfortable to wear. Thanks to the raglan sleeves, you can easily adjust the width and hem length as you go. With a few modifications, you can even transform Alone into a sweater by keeping the hem short — essentially giving you two patterns in one!
Yarn: Kaos Yarn Organic Brushed Alpaca
Honey
Honey is a versatile vest knitted from the top down that pairs beautifully with T-shirts and dress shirts alike. It features open sides that are tied together for a unique and adjustable fit.
Yarn: Retrosaria Brusca
No Ordinary Love
No Ordinary Love is a boxy, oversized cardigan featuring a deep v-neck and a texture of purled stitches with a few cables running down the body and shoulders. The cables, worked in varying lengths, adorn both the body and sleeves, while i-cord edges at the neckline, hem and cuffs lend an elegant finish.
Yarn: Tukuwool Fingering together with Nurja Mohair
Who Knew
These mittens are knitted from the top to the cuff and feature a gusset thumb and an extra-long cuff that can be folded in various ways. The cuff includes a thumb opening, allowing it to be folded down to cover the palm for added warmth.
