Ulmus Rectangle

Thanks for your patience.  The rectangular version of my Ulmus pattern is finally ready.

The pattern is written for three sizes ranging from a scarf sized 11" wide to a generous 24" wide shawl. The length is easily customized, my sample shawl is 24x68" and instructions are given for working the 68" length.  I used most of two skeins of the MC (STR Lightweight in Mossay) for that size. 

After getting a few requests from knitters who are uncomfortable with charts, I decided to do both written and charted instructions for this pattern.  You will also find instructions on a version of this shawl with fringe in place of the lace border for a more casual look.  (I personally love a bit of sassy fringe.)

This lovely version was knit by test knitter Andrea.  Thanks Andrea!  Hers is worked in Koigu KPPPM and Spud and Chloe Fine.  Andrea made the medium size, although hers is a little smaller than the measurements on the pattern since the yarns are a bit finer than STR.

I really like the versatility of a rectangular shawl.  It may be worn scarf-like as pictured above or as a wrap.  I know we'll be wearing ours quite a bit this fall and winter.

Now Available Pattern Bundles

Just in time for holiday knitting, I've created bundles of my hat patterns and my mitten patterns.  There are 4 bundles so far, Hat Bundle #1, Hat Bundle #2, Mitten Bundle #1 & Mitten Bundle #2.  (Really creative names, huh?)  The bundles have either three or 4 patterns in each and there is a savings over purchasing the patterns individually.  All of the patterns are still available separately. 

Through the Loops Hat Bundle # 1 contains Joni, Dorothea & Naragansett.

If purchased separately these three pattens would be $18.00 as a bundle they are $15.00.

Through the Loops Hat Bundle # 2 contains Lisa and Katie's Berets, Empire & Sikkim.

If purchased separately these three pattens (four if you count Lisa's and Katie's Berets as 2) would be $18.00 as a bundle they are $15.00.

Through the Loops Mitten Bundle # 1 contains Breathe Deep, Gallus, Genmaicha & All the Water.

If purchased separately these four pattens would be $24.00 as a bundle they are $20.00.

Through the Loops Mitten Bundle # 2 contains Reykjavik, Clematis & Furrow.

If purchased separately these three pattens would be $18.00 as a bundle they are $15.00.

Coming soon:  Rectangular Ulmus (by tomorrow morning, I promise), shawl bundles, sock bundles.
