BlipBit Boot Socks

Algorithmic Knitting Designer — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 12:10:03 +0000

ABOUT THIS PATTERN

BlipBit Boot Socks are 2-strand colorwork knee high socks knit with DK weight yarn with a different pattern for each sock to combat 2nd sock syndrome! Or if you prefer, knit one of the two available colorwork patterns for a matching pair.

Worked with a ribbed cuff, to wear pulled up to the knees or slouched for that 90s vibe. The socks have a variable calf size, and have been sized to accommodate varying calf sizes in relation to foot circumference size. Foot length is fully customizable. The socks are worked top down in the round for the Calf with shaping to the ankle, then back and forth for the Heel Flap. The heel is shaped with short rows then stitches picked up along the Heel Flap for the Gusset. The Gusset and Foot are worked in the round with decreases for the Toes and finished with kitchener stitch.

This pattern is available on Ravelry for €7.50.

Introducing: Solitons Sweater – Lace Version

Algorithmic Knitting Designer — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 22:55:38 +0000

Introducing Solitons Sweater, lace version <3

You’ll find her with the lovely ladies at Cross and Woods at their stand at Breidagen this weekend!! This Solitons Sweater was knit two sizes up for extra airy roominess, with Bérénice by De Rerum Natura in Cypress, and a cheeky little stripe of Midnatssol in Light Turquoise from CaMaRose.

Knit on 4mm needles, using the same pattern as my sportweight Solitons Sweater – the result is same same yet totally different. It’s a dream to wear, light as air, with drool-worthy intricate, subtle patterning. I’m so excited to see how versatile this pattern has turned out to be.

Solitons Sweater was my debut pattern under the moniker Algorithmic Knitting Design.

Event Horizon Circle Scarf

Algorithmic Knitting Designer — Sat, 21 Sep 2024 19:57:31 +0000

ABOUT THIS PATTERN

Event Horizon Cirle Scarf is a luxurious, intricate circle scarf worked in 2 colors of worsted weight yarn that can be worn in multiple ways – as a bolero, shawl, loop scarf, cowl and more. It is a fun and challenging knit that incorporates a variety of different techniques – 2-strand intarsia (no bobbins needed), basic knit and purl textures, honeycomb stitch, and simple lace. It is worked flat, beginning with a provisional cast on, and connected end to end with kitchener stitch for a seamless construction.

Event Horizon circle scarf is a collaboration with Urth Yarns.

This pattern is available on Ravelry for €9.00

Buy it now

MATERIALS AND TOOLS

Recommended Yarn

Worsted weight yarn in 2 colors.

A smooth plied yarn without fuzz will result in beautiful clarity and stitch definition. Very dark colors will obscure the texture, so a light- to medium-dark color is generally recommended. Likewise, yarns with a lot of variegation or very tweedy yarns are not recommended, as they obscure the difference between the knit and purl stitches.

Sample was knit with Urth Yarns 16 Worsted in P20 (color 1) and P60 (color 2).

Needles

5mm / US 8 / UK 6 80cm/32″ circular needles (or size to obtain gauge).

Gauge (per 10cm / 4″ after blocking)

19 stitches x 26 rows in stockinette

Gauge is not critical in this project – deviations are possible, although a row gauge of more than 26 rows per 10cm/4″ will result in a smaller circumference, possibly making it too short to wrap double.

Sizes available

One size fits all.

Finished dimensions (according to recommended gauge):
Pattern results in a scarf with a 150cm/59″ circumference and 52cm/20″ width.

Yardage (approximate)

Based on recommended gauge:

Color 1: 285gr / 570 m / 625 yd
Color 2: 185gr / 370 m / 405 yds

Notions

stitch markers or waste yarn (different colors highly recommended)
row counter (optional)
tapestry needle
tape measure
scissors
highlighter marker for crossing out completed chart rows (optional, highly recommended)

Techniques

knit and purl
intarsia (no bobbins required)
simple lacework

Turing Cowl

Algorithmic Knitting Designer — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 00:54:18 +0000

ABOUT THIS PATTERN

Turing Cowl takes its name from Alan Turing: a pioneering mathematician and computer scientist often regarded as the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, as well as a queer figure who serves as a reminder of the loss that discrimination creates.

Turing Cowl is a variable yarn weight pattern worked in the round, with no seams. It uses only knit and purl stitches to achieve its beautiful, subtle, chaotic texture.

In fingering weight yarn, the pattern produces a delicate close-fitting neck gaiter or headband
In DK / sportweight yarn the pattern produces a cozy, loose fitting cowl
In aran weight yarn the pattern produces a snuggly oversized cowl that also works as a snood

Turing Cowl is my first collaboration with indie dyer The Wee Yarn Company.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS

Recommended Yarn

This pattern works for a wide variety of yarns, from fingering weight / sock yarn to aran weight.

Fingering weight sample knit with The Wee Yarn Company’s Yaldi Yak Sock in Jaffa Cake
DK weight sample knit with The Wee Yarn Company’s Agnes DK in No Teal No Shade
Aran weight sample knit with The Wee Yarn Company’s Bonnie BFL Aran in Pastel Goth

Algorithmic Diva Bolero

Algorithmic Knitting Designer — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 22:08:27 +0000

ABOUT THIS PATTERN

Pattern available in English and Dutch.

Algorithmic Diva Bolero combines a number of different techniques: from knit and purl textures, to intarsia (no bobbins required!), to simple lacework. This makes for a fun and challenging project for intermediate knitters that knits up quicker than expected. It is worked flat, sideways from one arm to the other, then stitched together along the ends to create the arms. This version of the bolero is fairly long, hitting at the thighs, dramatic and flowing.

The design is my first collaboration with Berlin-based indie dyer Boredom Kills Design.

This pattern is available on Ravelry for €10.00

MATERIALS AND TOOLS

Recommended Yarn

The Algorithmic Diva Bolero uses a combination of 3 different yarns: 2-ply DK yarn, lace yarn and DK boucle yarn for a truly unique, funky, and fashion forward look.

Color 1: BKD Merino DK or other sportweight or DK yarn that obtains gauge
Color 2: BKD Merino Boucle or other sportweight or DK boucle yarn that obtains gauge
Color 3: BKD Kid Silk Lace or other laceweight yarn

Sample was knit with BKD Yarn kit – color combination Algorithmic Diva on 4mm needles.

Gauge is not extremely critical, but DK or sport weight yarn is recommended for Colors 1 and 2 to obtain appropriate dimensions. For Colors 2 (in stockinette) and 3 (in lace pattern) it is important that the gauge is equal to, or lower than, the gauge for color 1 (i.e. 21 stitches or less and 28 rows or less per 10x10cm), using the same needles, for shaping purposes.
