Make Nine is an Instagram challenge for makers and making. I’ve been into knitting more than sewing and crocheting recently, so my Make Nine is all knitting. Here is my Make Nine list for 2019.
From top to bottom, left to right:
1. Cascata by Filipa Carneiro
This looks like a perfect top for summer. I want to make this for myself out of linen. Cascata is a free pattern that uses DK yarn that recommends a 100% linen yarn. The word ‘cascata’ means ‘waterfall’ in Portuguese. As with any linen fabric, it starts out rather stiff but softens beautifully the more you wear and wash it. As per the Ravelry page, this top is knit seamlessly top down. The yoke is formed with yarn over increases, making an eyelet lace. In the armhole, sleeves are bound off and the body is worked with the lace sidebar that grows along with the length of the top, just like a waterfall.
2. Mountain Mist by Tin Can Knits
I’m making this Mountain Mist pullover out of Briggs and Little Heritage yarn. I want to include this in our Kiku Corner Etsy shop. The Mountain Mist pullover is one of the written patterns from Tin Can Knits’ Strange Brew book. The pattern includes instructions for 25 sizes, from baby to big.
3. Featherweight Cardigan by Hannah Fettig of Knitbot
I’m making this Featherweight Cardigan for myself using yarn from my stash. I’m going to use Juniper Moon Farm Finley in Granite. This laceweight yarn is 50% merino and 50% silk, so it has a lovely drape and sheen.
4. Deschutes River by Knit For the Soul
I think this looks so comfortable and warm! I want to knit this for myself out of yarn I bought at the Woodstock Fleece Festival last year. This cardigan has some lovely details: I love how it has some ribbing along the length of the sleeves, as well as some plain stranded knitting along the cuff and yoke. It is a seamless, top-down cardigan that has a tall popped collar. As I have never knit stranded colourwork back and forth, this pattern will be a challenge for me.
5. Fern & Feather by Knit Love Wool
I think this would be a great sweater for our Etsy shop too. It’s a worsted-weight sweater that is knit seamlessly, top-down. I’ve already knit the Vintersoll Pullover by Knit Love Wool (Jennifer Steingass), so I think this will be a fun and easy knit.
6. Constellate by Hunter Hammersen
The Constellate Hat by Hunter Hammersen is a hat with a gorgeous stitch pattern. I want to use some of the lovely hand-dyed Valentina Colour Works yarn I bought in Montreal. The pattern is part of Hunter’s Firmament mini stitch dictionary, and the instructions are for any weight of yarn!
7. Harvest by Tin Can Knits
Harvest is a free pattern by Tin Can Knits for their free beginner pattern series, The Simple Collection. It looks like a cozy and comfortable cardigan with no closures, and it’s written in sixteen sizes from newborn to 4XL. It uses a worsted weight yarn, and I think it’ll look beautiful in a tonal yarn. I’ve got enough sweater quantities of yarn in my stash to give me a lot of colour choice for this cardigan!
8. Ephemeris by Hunter Hammersen
As with Constellate, the Ephemeris hat also has a gorgeous stitch pattern. Since I bought lovely hand-dyed Valentina Colour Works yarn in Montreal, I want to use it for this hat. The pattern is part of Hunter’s Firmament mini stitch dictionary, and the instructions are for any weight of yarn!
9. Crumb by Andi Satterlund
Andi Satterlund offered this pattern for free last year, and I was able to download it. The Crumb cardigan is perfect for wearing over a dress or skirt due to its cropped length.
What’s in your Make Nine for 2019?
They are all lovely, but my favorite is the last one, the crumb cardigan.
