Easy Knitting Pattern
It is easy to knit with a SpinCraft Knitting
Pattern, because our patterns are so fun and clearly written. We
take knitting to a whole new dimension with our Knit-so-it-Fits
directions.
SpinCraft Patterns focuses on making an
interesting shape with knitting stitches. You can usually add your
own knit stitches in the place of ours, and make your project as
easy or as difficult as you want. For an easy knitting pattern I
would like to suggest our Multi Pattern Scarf, Navajo Vest, No Measure Hats, and Sure
To Fit Sweater. You will love being able to make something simple
that really fits!
The way it works is quite simple. You take a
measurement from the person who is going to be wearing the piece,
and then you find your gauge (usually by knitting a swatch). Then
you make some easy calculations which tell you how many stitches
to cast on, and where to go from there.
Please take a look through our online
shopping cart. Not only are we easy to knit, and easy to get
it to fit - a SpinCraft Pattern is easy to buy. No more waiting
for the postal mail to come, you can download your pattern
instantly from our secure shopping cart.
After you've had your first success with our
designs, please try our many other patterns for hats,
scarves, sweaters, vests and more. You can download all the
patterns straight into your computer. Please bookmark the
spincraftpatterns.com site after you get there, so you can come
again and again.

How our Knitting Patterns work
With a SpinCraft Knitting Pattern--you are the designer. These
patterns are written by Connie Delaney specifically to be used with
any type of yarn, and for any size. They are more versatile than a traditional knitting
pattern. Our
system is a simple solution for the hand or machine knitter!.
With a SpinCraft Knitting Pattern you are given the designer's
original math problems. It's easy! You take your own measurements (which is why
it can fit any size, no matter how big, no matter how small) and
plug your answers into the calculation tables. Then you find your
own favorite yarn, knit a swatch, and use the measurements from that
swatch to complete your calculations.
It will look something like this:
G = gauge from your swatch (example 6 sts/in)
A = Measure your hips (example 40")
B = G x A (example 40x6=240)
Cast on B sts. (That means cast on 240 sts)
You can easily see that casting on 240 sts will give you a piece
of knitting that fits exactly around your hips. And that's how it
works.
You will notice, as you go through our catalog, that the main
picture for each pattern is a simple line drawing. This is because
we want to stimulate your imagination into thinking up the colors
and textures for your knitting treasure -- after all -- with a
SpinCraft knitting pattern, You are the designer!
