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.

newsletter.
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!
