Aragorn Hat

2010-02-05T09:14:00.000-08:00

Since Arwen was never complete without Aragorn.

Ranger, Warrior, Healer, King. Aragorn is truly a complex character - descendant of kings and elves, wanderer and warrior. For his hat, I echoed the twisted stitches and textured lace of the scarf pattern to create bold and interesting-to-knit pattern that a man will still wear. However, the stitch pattern looks lovely in a more feminine color.

The crown of the hat finishes in a lovely six-pointed star reminiscent of Aragorn's beloved Evenstar, Arwen. This beautiful star is created with the decreases and is far easier to knit than it appears.

The stitch pattern perfectly coordinates with the Aragorn scarf. The matching gloves pattern is in progress. Combined the three will make the perfect ensemble for gift knitting. The slightly loose fitting hat pattern is available in two sizes that fit heads from about 18 inches to about 24 inches. It is long enough to cover the top of the ears.

The pattern is available as a download through Ravelry and in print from my etsy store. It includes full written as well as charted instructions for two adult sizes - Small which fits heads 18 – 22 inches (46-56 cm) and Large which fits heads 20–24 inches (50-61 cm).

Arwen Wrap

2009-11-23T10:15:00.000-08:00

A wrap worthy of Arwen. The scallops in the border echo the hilt of the sword of her beloved. The lacy body reflects the peaceful elven beauty of Rivendell.

Despite its complicated look, the wrap is quick to knit due to the larger yarn and large needles.

The rectangular wrap is knit in two identical pieces and then grafted together at the center. Pattern contains full written and chart instructions.

Pattern is available for download via Ravelry or in print from my etsy store.

Arwen Keyhole Scarf

2009-11-22T14:27:00.000-08:00

This quick-to-knit, little keyhole scarf is the final piece to Arwen’s Elven Accessory set. It is a great way to add a little warmth on those cool Rivendell days and it adds a splash of color near your face.

Arwen Cowl

2009-10-27T07:50:00.000-07:00

At the prompting of my friend Linda, I added another piece to Arwen's elven accessory set – a cowl to ward off the evening chill of Rivendell.

This one can be worn two ways – with points up or down.

A quick knit that would be great for gifts.

The pattern comes in three sizes for custom fit and includes an option for a wimple, a longer cowl that covers the head and neck. I recommend knitting the L for a wimple to allow room for it to comfortably fit the head.

Arwen Fingerless Gloves

2009-10-24T08:52:00.000-07:00

These delicate little gloves will keep your hands warm without interfering with the use of your fingers. Perfect for wearing while knitting or doing other hand work. These gloves coordinate with the rest of Arwen’s elven accessories.

Knit in the round on dpns or circulars, this low yardage pattern will allow you that luxury yarn splurge without breaking the bank. Since they don’t require a lot of yarn, this is a great project for using up that odd skein of yarn.

Ribbing in the hand makes the pattern fit a wide variety of sizes. Comfortably fits hands 7 – 8.5 inches (measured at the knuckles). Length is adjustable. They knit up quickly for last minute gift giving.

Arwen Cloche Hat

2009-10-23T12:47:00.000-07:00

My friend Linda reminded me that Arwen needed some accessories to match her comfy slipper socks. I thought she’d enjoy a lacy, close-fitting cloche. The gentle ripples of lace will frame her lovely elven face.

Knit in the round from the bottom, this hat is a quick knit that is perfect for gifts. Knit it in wool for winter warmth or in cotton blend for fun, warm weather wear.

Stitch pattern works best in light to medium solid or semi-solid colors.
Multi-sized pattern includes sizes for most infants through adult. All but the largest size can be knitted from 100 yards of yarn or less. This is a terrific stash buster project.

Time Lord Socks

2009-09-22T06:48:00.000-07:00

These socks were designed for my husband. I needed a pattern that was manly but not as boring to knit as the plain vanilla socks he generally prefers. I found my inspiration while catching up on episodes of my favorite television show.

The little boxes reminded me of the windows of that mysterious blue call box

and the toe forms a spiraling vortex reminiscent of time and space, so naturally the pattern is named for my favorite doctor.

The modular look is well suited for the man in your life but not out of place in a more feminine color. The stitch pattern is bold enough to stand up to many variegated yarns. The slightly asymmetrical stitch pattern helps break up pooling. The cuff has enough stretch to comfortably fit a number of leg widths.

Construction is top down with a pointed vortex toe that doesn’t require the kitchener stitch and that fits narrower feet or long toes exceptionally well.

A Note on Pattern Difficulty
The rose motif is a little tricky. Definitely nothing you can fall asleep on but it is well worth the effort. If you are familiar with lace and can handle double decreases, it will be fiddly but manageable. After the roses, the pattern is smooth sailing.
