Size Inclusivity in Knit Accessory Patterns
In garment design, we talk about size inclusivity a lot. There is a huge effort to encourage designers and yarn companies to offer more sizes for their garment patterns, and to update older patterns to be more size inclusive. Let's spot a light on size inclusivity in knit accessory patterns.
Knitting Tips on Increasing Stitches Evenly
I really dislike “increase evenly” as an instruction in a knitting pattern. I think most of the time, it does the knitter a disservice and is often a lazy shortcut for the designer. You won’t see me using it, check out the blog post to learn why.
How to Knit Socks from a Sock Blank
Most of the time, when we knit socks, we tend to knit them from a ball or cake of yarn. But what about when you knit from a sock blank? There are some strategies that can be very helpful if you’re using a sock blank for the first time. I thought it might be helpful to explore them here.
Why I Prefer Knitting with Circular Needles
Over the years, I’ve drifted to using circular needles almost exclusively for everything I knit. I use them for hats and socks and gloves and shawls and garments. So for today’s blog post, I thought it would be helpful to explore the many reasons why I have shifted to using circular needles instead of double pointed needles in my work.
How to Avoid Tangling Yarn While Knitting
I love working with hand dyed yarns. The colors are unlike anything I can find elsewhere, and I love being able to support smaller dyers. But one of the challenges of using hand dyed yarns is that they can have unwanted color pooling effects. To avoid that, I like to alternate skeins every couple rows.
Blocks and Blocks: A Mitered Square Blanket Update
I’ve been working on this mitered square blanket since last December–in fits and starts, of course. It hasn’t been a constant project. Even so, I’ve now finished seven rows of it, and I thought I would check in and share some updates on how this project is going.
The Best Knitting Snacks: Food Ideas for Stitchers - A Bee In The Bonnet
You see, as every inveterate snacking knitter has learned the hard way at some point, eating and knitting can be fraught. Food can be messy, and our knits don’t always fare so well when they come into contact with our little treats. So what’s a stitcher to do? Well, don’t worry. I’ve got some ideas for you so you can snack without worry, plus a few bonus options for those of you who (like me) get your adrenaline fix from knitting with more dangerous snacks.
How to Knit a Star Toe (Toe Up and Cuff Down)
The star toe is a great toe style for knitters whose middle toes are longer than their big toe. This is also a useful technique for knitters who don’t enjoy grafting stitches together at the end of the wedge toe, because this method decreases to just a few stitches and then the tail is drawn through those remaining stitches just like the top of a hat.
May Sip and Stitch – Socks + Sanditon
Well, my lofty goals for making the Sip and Stitch a monthly post have clearly fallen by the wayside, but I am committed to making it at least a semi-regular thing! So we’ve got that going for us. In today’s post, I’ve got an intoxicating herbal fruit blend, a long-awaited conclusion to a popular TV series, and a pair of socks that round out a collection for me. So let’s dive in!

Free Hat Knitting Pattern: Pebbles by the Sea Hat
This hat is designed to be a quick, & relaxing knit. It takes just one skein of yarn and can be finished in an evening if you knit quickly. As you work the twisted stitches and the moss stitch, think of the waves rolling in and out over mossy rocks, in and out, in and out. I hope you enjoy it.
Free Cowl Knitting Pattern: The Rhubarb Crumble Cowl - A Bee In The Bonnet
This cowl has lots of texture, from small seed stitch pebbles to large bobbles to little eyelet holes, that is meant to mimic the topping of a good crumble. What’s more, the pattern is easy to memorize, just like a good crumble topping recipe. Because this is knit in a DK yarn and takes just one skein, it also works up quickly and makes for good gift-knitting.

In this post you’ll find links to the pattern, an easy shopping list, pattern specs, and lots of photos.
