Stephanie Lotven Patterns

From Designer Stephanie Lotven: The Around Every Corner shawl is inspired by the incredible gardens at Allerton Park. When I first visited in 2019, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of this hidden gem. The lush gardens and remarkable sculpture garden create a surprise at every turn. This shawl was designed to celebrate those little moments that take your breath away. Using relaxing garter stitch, a bouquet of colors, and simple intarsia, you will create a shawl that is delightfully surprising around every corner.

Shown in Leading Men Fiber Arts Showstopper, we recommend Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light + Unicorn Tails! You'll need two skeins of Tosh Merino Light + 1 skein each x 6 different Unicorn Tails.

From designer Stephanie Lotven: These mitts are knit from the bottom up in the round. A single, clean, stacked cable runs along the inner wrist, up the palm, to the base of the thumb. These mitts are not knit identically. Instead, the mitts are mirror images of one another, creating a harmonious pair.

"Dive In" to this playful and glorious colorwork cowl! Four colors combine with stripes and stranded knitting to make an art piece to wear around your neck. The cowl begins flat, and is then joined in the round and knitted down to the tip. You won't be able to put this project down!

From Designer Stephanie Lotven:

Every day I hear about escalating conflict, escalating fear, escalating tensions. I am tired of hearing about negative escalation. This shawl was designed in the spirit of positivity. I want escalating FREEDOM, escalating CREATIVITY, escalating JOY! This shawl is my happy place: a bold palette, graphic lines, relaxing garter stitch, and just enough lace to keep things interesting. I hope it brings you a bit of escalating happiness!

Pick your two favorite contrasting shades of sock yarn and Glide to the finish line! This striking cowl features stripes and colorwork that resembles leaves (or icicles? diamonds?) and is cozy and beautiful to boot. The construction begins at the top, is worked back and forth for a bit, and is then joined in the round.

From designer Stephanie Lotven: Just Float was designed for colorwork relaxation. Knit seamlessly in the round from the top down, it is straightforward pattern with lots of graphic drama. The pattern includes instructions for short or long sleeves, making it a great pullover for any season. The pattern includes short rows to raise the back of the neck for a comfortable neckline. The colorwork chart is designed so that you never have to catch a single float. No need to slow down to trap those long, pesky floats. This pattern just doesn't have any. Instead, kick back, grab your needles, relax, and JUST FLOAT.
