Machine Knit-Ables: Curated designs from the hand knitting world. We give you ideas to use the original design's inspiration with your knitting machine.

Crealino Tee

Take a simple short sleeve tee shape and add easy designer details to make something special.

Mossy Pillow

Who Needs Purl Stitches?

Tweedy yarn paired with a simple textured pattern creates a rustic, natural look for your home. A perfect project for beginners.

Butterfly Shawl

The "butterfly" shape of this shawl keeps the knitting interesting. The neck shaping helps keep it on your shoulders and creates an attractive soft faux collar.

Any size, any stitch pattern, any yarn, any machine ... make it your own!

Laemmin

This updated, casual "rib-warmer" is a winner at any size!

The original is knit in one piece from the hem to the armholes, but for seamless version on the machine, consider knitting it sideways.
If you need more needles than you have on your machine, sideways knitting is just the ticket!

The textured stitch pattern could be copied with a simple tuck stitch.

How about that deep round neckline? PLUS notice the wide neckband that keeps things in proportion.

Tuck Tile Tee

Pops of texture and color, plus clean finishing, enrich this flowy, boatneck tee. This is a great opportunity to learn the useful technique of knitted tucks, as well as to make a summer tee with lovely drape and ombre stripes.

Urban Man's Cardigan

Man's casual cardi with reversed color blocks for interest. Basic 3 stitch multiple for minimal floats.

L'Enveloppe

Why should hand knitters have all the fun? Adapted from a hand knitting pattern by Sally Melville (with her permission), this unusual garment is quick knitting ... once you understand the construction and make some decisions.

Use the Knit it Now Dynamic pattern to knit this on ANY machine, with ANY yarn in YOUR CHOICE of stitch pattern!

Flash Forward Blanket

Pops of color and strong angles transform a simple checkerboard motif into a bold design full of movement. Customize the color scheme and elevate your room décor.

Canapa Jacket

Close fitting summer cardigan with lace accents. Alternating textured inserts add interest to the basic sweater shape.

Flower Garden Tunic

Combine a "mistake stitch" slip pattern with gorgeous yarns and knit an A-line tunic that is sure to please! Another beautiful, inspirational, original design from Ellen Kindsvater

Napatree Tee

This breezy summer top is a canvas for a beautiful yarn and any pretty edge finish you like.

Typical of current hand knitting patterns, this pattern is designed to be knit top down (what do hand knitters have against seams?) but machine knitters can easily adapt the inspiration for our machines.

Another feature is the sleeve shape, short and slightly gathered.

No-Roll Neckwarmer

Banish the dreaded "stockinette curl" with one simple trick. Alternate stockinette and reverse stockinette for texture and interest for this infinity scarf that is both beautiful and practical.

Blue Star Cardigan

Look closely ... what stitch pattern is this? Classic styling is a winner for a go-to cardigan no matter what technique is used.

Boreal Hat

Take a simple hat shape (it's just a rectangle), add a beautiful stitch pattern, play with color and you'll have a quick-to-knit-on-the-machine project!

Rejilla Shawl

Rejilla—the Spanish word for “grids”—perfectly describes the lace pattern used for this shawl, an easy triangular piece that adds the right amount of visual interest to any outfit.
