Best Knitting Patterns in October 2024!
Hello, knitters! October has come and gone, and with it, a fresh lineup of patterns worth adding to your queue. If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Kaci from YoungFolk Knits, and I’m so excited to share some of my favorite new releases with you. There’s so much inspiration in the air with all the cozy fall knits popping up, so grab a hot drink and settle in as we dive into these delightful designs.
New Pattern Highlights
Every month, I love hopping on Ravelry to check out the latest patterns I might have missed. Here are a few favorites that caught my eye:
Night and Day Cowl by Andrea Mowry
Andrea Mowry has graced us with another of her slip-stitch mosaic beauties! The Night and Day Cowl is knit in DK weight, using Hailey Designs’ yarn in gorgeous day-and-night shades. If you haven’t tried mosaic knitting, this is an inviting project to dive into, and it’s perfect for layering. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/night–day-cowl
Ballard Collar by Sari Nordlund
The Ballard Collar is another gem by Sari, ideal for those in warmer climates (like Arkansas) who want the cozy look without the layers. It’s a simple collar in DK weight, made with soft silk and mohair, and it pairs perfectly with a jacket for a chic, layered look. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ballard-collar
Dagmar Sweater by Petite Knit
Petite Knit has transformed her Dagmar Jacket into a pullover sweater, and it’s absolutely stunning in classic cable and aran style. The cozy, heavyweight yarn makes it a quick knit, and it looks fantastic in either light or dark shades. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dagmar-sweater-4
Lesser-Known Finds
Sometimes the hidden gems are just as exciting! Here are a few patterns from indie designers that I loved this month:
Poncho Akina by Sharon Maninger
If you love the look of a shawl but struggle with styling, Poncho Akina is your answer! This DK-weight poncho combines the elegance of a shawl with the ease of a wearable piece, making it ideal for everyday coziness. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/poncho-akina
Three Season Pullover by Wool & Pine Designs
This V-neck, worsted-weight sweater is both flattering and comfortable. The soft v-neckline is especially flattering, and the yarn blend of cotton and merino wool is ideal for fall through spring. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/three-season-pullover
Shapeshift by Jared Flood
For bulky-weight lovers, Shapeshift by Jared Flood is a fun brioche cardigan with stunning details. The chunky gauge makes it a fast project, and the button details add a lovely, polished touch. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/shapeshift-3
Tucker Pullover by Alicia Plummer
The Tucker Pullover is knit in a blend of cotton and linen, making it lightweight and breathable—a great transition piece for spring and fall. You can choose between short and long sleeves, too, which makes it so versatile. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tucker-5
CamberSands Sweater by Coco Amour
With airy silk mohair and wool, this sweater has wide sleeves and a mock neck that’s just begging to be knit. The loose neckline adds a casual vibe while still looking elevated. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cambersands-sweater
Accessories That Pack a Punch
Accessories are always fun, quick projects, and this month’s releases didn’t disappoint:
Geo Trio Cowl by Bridget Zhou
Perfect for colorwork enthusiasts, this fingering-weight cowl gives endless opportunities for creativity. Mix and match colors or use a gradient yarn to make it pop! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/geo-trio-cowl
Sea Glass Mittens by Woolen Pine
If you love scrappy knits, the Sea Glass Mittens are for you! They use one-by-one colorwork and are perfect for leftover yarn, giving that warm, homey vibe. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sea-glass-mittens
Fallow Headband by Thread and Yarn
If you’re in need of a quick, practical knit, the Fallow Headband is a stylish solution. Perfect for keeping your hair in place and your ears warm while gardening or on-the-go, it’s a practical piece you’ll use often. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fallow-headband
Caboodle Shawl by The Lamb and Kid Designs
Lastly, a lovely free pattern! The Caboodle Shawl uses a blend of lace and fingering weights held together, creating a fluffy, cozy shawl that knits up faster than you’d expect. This would make a wonderful winter accessory! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/caboodle-shawl
