Free Knitting Pattern – Seedless Columns Beanie

Welcome to the Seeded Columns Hat Knit Pattern! This simple yet warm hat is the perfect accessory to keep your head and ears protected during the colder months. The unique seeded columns pattern adds a touch of texture and interest to this hat, making it a stylish and functional addition to your winter wardrobe.

The pattern is worked from the bottom up in the round, using Premier Basix yarn, a soft and durable yarn that will keep your head and ears warm and cozy. The pattern requires 1 ball of yarn, 16″ (40 cm) circular needles size 7 (4.5 mm) and 9 (5.5 mm), and DPNs size 9 (5.5 mm). The pattern includes instructions for Baby to Adult Large sizes, so you can make a hat for everyone in the family. This pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters, as it requires some experience with working in the round and with different needle sizes.

The seeded columns pattern is a type of textured stitch that creates a series of small, raised bumps that resemble seeds. The seed stitches are created by knitting into the front and back of a stitch, creating a small bump. These bumps are then alternated with columns of plain knitting to create a unique and interesting pattern. The seeded columns pattern is a great way to add visual interest to your knitting without adding too much complexity, and it’s a versatile design that can be used in a variety of projects.

So grab your needles and yarn, and let’s get started on creating this beautiful hat! With its unique seeded columns pattern and soft and warm yarn, this hat will be a stylish and functional addition to your winter wardrobe. The pattern is easy to follow, and the final product is sure to delight. Happy knitting!

I have never stitched a greeting card, but I kind of like the idea of it. It’s a card and a gift all in one, and hopefully one the recipient will hang onto for years to come.

This collection of easy and colorful greeting card cross stitch patterns from Susan Bates (via Gathered) are a great place to start if you want to stitch your own greeting cards.

These text-based designs cover a lot of card-sending events, such as:

get well soon
happy birthday
thank you
thinking of you
congratulations
anniversary
new home
good luck

The lettering is done in gradients and there are other details like hearts and stars, a house key and a gift, depending on the text. There are full cross stitches and back stitch on all of the cards, and they use 15 colors for the cross stitching and six for the back stitching (and just two colors are used for both, so it’s 19 colors total).

The designs vary a bit in size but the biggest one is 52 by 67 stitches, which comes out to 3.75 by 4.75 inches or 9.5 by 12 cm when worked on 14 count fabric or 28 count evenweave. The text suggests beads are also used in the patterns but there’s no note of them in the key, so go wild and add some beads if you like.

Designs are worked on a price of 6 by 8 inch/15 by 20 cm fabric and then mounted to a card with a colorful baking piece of card stock behind it. This is easy to assemble with whatever cardstock greeting cards you have on hand.

You can get the free charts as a PDF from Gathered.

Have you ever stitched your own greeting cards? I’d love to hear about it, or let me know if these inspire you to try.
