When I made my Geddy Tee, I designed a knitted granny square for those “knit-only” crafters out there. I just added the FREE pattern to Ravelry so others can knit their own tee. It is not a perfect substitute for the crocheted version, but it does work in this particular situation. I hope some of you try it!!
This is the knitted version:
This is the crocheted version:
This is not an ox-free zone! Musk ox, that is! Surly gifted me a skein of qiviut from one of her recent arctic journeys. I couldn’t decide what to make at first, but thought a small scarf would check all the boxes: a. be visible when worn, b. use all of the yarn, c. not “wear out” like mitts, d. feel good against the skin. I have made so may Sophies that I wanted something a little different. I found Scarf No. 4 designed by My Favorite Things. A simple stitch pattern with a Sophie vibe. The increases are worked every 4 instead of every 8 rows, but this pairs perfectly with the 1×1 ribbing. Pretty ingenious actually. I twisted the ribbing for improved appearance. I, of course, used my continuous i-cord cast on and i-cord edges instead of what the pattern called for.
The scarf turned out extremely well. It is very soft and quite a classic! Merci, Surly!!
