Just the Basics

This is a collection of basic knitting patterns for every knitter. 

The beginning knitter will appreciate the clear and complete instructions.

The more advanced knitter will use the patterns as a jumping off point to add their own twist - changing the ribbing or adding a stitch pattern

The collection currently includes 84 different patterns:  12 different styles pictured below, each at 7 different stitch gauges.   

Are you looking for a drop sleeve, mock drop sleeve or set in sleeve?  How about long sleeves or short sleeves?  Looking for a pullover or cardigan?  Are you working with a stitch gauge between 3 and 6 stitches per inch for a finished size between 32" and 60"?

There is a "Just The Basics" pattern for you!  

The patterns are written by stitch gauge for a wide size range.   

For example, if you choose the Short Drop Sleeve Crew Neck Cardigan at 5 stitches to the inch it includes all directions from a finished bust of 32" up to 60".  Each design includes a picture and pattern schematics.

You won't find any directions that say "work the other side reversing the shapings" - each piece has complete and clear written instructions.                           

There are also handy tips along the way to make your knitting more successful.

Individual patterns are $5.00 and 5 patterns are $20.00.   A complete library of 42 patterns - either the cardigans or pullovers, including tips on adding your own creativity is available on a thumb drive for $49.95 - that's $1.18 per pattern!  And it takes up much less space in your pattern library!!

Just the basics pattern orders are payable through Paypal.  Just send me an email to place your order.
