Knit Patterns

These are original knitting patterns, or patterns from historical sources that I have "translated" into modern knitting terminology. Most have been shared with members of the KnitList - (a knitting-oriented mailing list active since around 1993/1994.)

Texture & Lace Stiches
Use these stitch patterns in your own designs.
Miss Brown's Lace EdgingI found this pattern and its companion insertion in Barbour's Prize Needlework Series: A Treatise on Lacemaking Embroidery and Needlework with Irish Flax Threads, a pattern booklet published in 1894. Miss Brown of Woburn, MA won awards for both. This sample was knit by Donna M. Hrynkiw
Miss Brown's Lace Counterpane InsertionThe companion piece to Miss Brown's edging, this insertion was intended to be used to frame handkercheif size squares of linen. These framed squares were stitched together to make a bedspread, with the companion edging as the finishing touch. This sample was also knit by Donna Hrynkiw
Lily of the Valley Cable"Mom, I need a garden sweater with these flowers on it." And so I came up with this stitch pattern.
Counterpanes & Blankets
Original patterns for knitted blankets.
Justin's Octagon Crib Counterpane - a knitting patternThis cotton counterpane is made up of octagonal and square shaped pieces, sewn together like a patchwork quilt. It is finished with an original cotton edging. The motifs used in this piece are among the simplest of their type. (Justin is a nephew)
Mountain Laurel Crib Counterpane - a knitting patternThis counterpane is made up of hexagons, half-hexagons, and triangles. It is also trimmed with a knit lace edging. It's slightly more difficult to knit than Justin's Octagons
