Sundew Sewing Pattern Zines

Three pattern zines from Sundew Sewing Co:

A simple top down sock pattern boiled down to the cutest 8 page mini-zine you’ll be excited to hold in your hand and keep in your project bag. Use it to knit a vanilla sock, or use it (as I do!) as a quick reference for when you want to create your own patterns of color and texture, but just need a quick reminder of how to turn a heel or decrease a toe. 

You know the hat -- knit a long sausage, flip the bottom into the top, then fold the brim. It's my personal favorite style of hat to knit and to wear! I wrote this pattern so that it can be knit for any sized head, with nearly any weight yarn (up to a worsted/aran weight), no swatching needed. It's a perfect blank canvas pattern to either knit a vanilla beanie, or add your own special details with varying stitch patterns or yarn colors. (The last three photos show samples knit in aran, DK, and fingering weight yarns.) The zine unfolds to show the hat sausage with simple directions for knitting it from top to bottom. Just pick your yarn and start knitting! After you've knit about a 3 inch circle, you'll pause to fill out a little worksheet on the back. The back of zine walks you through the math of calculating how many stitches per round you'll need to fit your head, based on your gauge at the start of the project. It's a super easy and super cute little worksheet, and I promise you'll love it even if you hate math.

A tiny 8-page zine to walk you through each step of knitting this sleek little mitten. It's knit in a DK weight yarn (200-275 yds), with three size options to fit most adults. The double cuff gives you space to add your own colorwork doodles, with the inner cuff concealing the backside of the stranded work. There's even a little blank chart on the back of the pattern for you to scribble all over, yay!

Available as hard copies only, because the joy of this pattern is holding it in your hand and turning those tiny pages :) Measures 4 1/4 x 2 3/4 inches.
