Simple and Elegant Knitting Patterns with Solid Color Yarns

Molly Grimm

“The Elisabeth Blouse is worked from the top down. First the collar is worked so that it has stockinette stitch with the RS facing out on both front and back. After this, the first section of the yoke is worked back and forth with raglan increases on a circular needle. Stitches are picked up and knitted along the edges of the yoke, and double knitted front edges are worked along these, before the rest of the yoke is joined in the round and completed in this way. The neckline is shaped using short rows.”

With the warmer months ahead, this tank top pattern is a great project option. For those wanting a cooler knit, but not having to sacrifice great yarn, the THEA top might be for you!

The Summer Commitment is the perfect bag for strolling around town, going to market, or a day at the beach! The bottom is knit flat and then stitches are picked up for knitting the main body in the round. Straps are then knit flat one at a time and are joined using Kitchener stitch. If you wish to knit a cross-body style bag then an extra skein of yarn will be required. This pattern is free on Ravelry!
