Madelinetosh Scarf and a CONTEST!
This has to be the quickest knit scarf I’ve done. One thing I don’t like about knitting scarves is that they seem to go on and on forever and …. I get bored. But this was fun and the open lace sections made the inches just fly by. This is Wendy’s Lace Stripe Scarf from Wendy Knits Lace. My copy of this book has so
many page corners turned down that it certainly qualifies as one of my top favorite knitting books, even though this is the first thing that I’ve made from it. Oh, but there will be more! This is out of 2 skeins of Madelinetosh DK in the Plaid Blanket color. I’m thinking that it would knit up even faster in worsted (although I would alter the number of cast on stitches so that it didn’t get too wide.) It’s a scarf pattern that I can see making again, maybe in Madelinetosh Vintage or Dream in Color’s Cashmere Worsted. (Neither picture captures the color just right, although the top one is closer. It’s more of a deep forest green.)
So do you have a pattern that you have enjoyed enough to knit more than a time or two? What is it? Leave your answer in the blog comments and you’ll be entered in this month’s blog contest! We are drawing for two goodie bags (shown here). Each prize contains our Small Loopy Project Tote, a Loopy Travel Mug, a Loopy Heel Soak (hiding in the back of the bag), a Little Loopy, and a skein of multi-colored Wollmeise (each prize bag has a different skein – we’ll send you a pretty one).
Our official Colorado Loopy shop grand opening is this Saturday, January 28th, from 10 am – 4:30 pm. We will have an in-store drawing for two of these bags as well as giving away two of them here on the blog. We’ll announce the winners in next week’s blog, and will also contact you if you win.
I’m looking forward to hearing which patterns have captured your attention enough to make multiple times. I have several on my own favorites list! (Like these new Cloisonee Mittens out of Cascade 220. And wouldn’t you know, we just re-stocked all of our 220 colors? With 248 different color choices, I might get a little carried away with color combination options…)

I have knit the sock pattern Francie by Rebeka Kerner three times! Love the ribbing and arch shaping on that one.

I knit Calorimetry a million times. And I’ve done multiple Clapotis as well!
Linda said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:13 pm
I’m a very slow knitter, so most patterns have one shot because there are just too many on the list. However, I have knit two of the Clapotis(not sure of what the plural for that would be) and two GAP-tastic cowls and would happily knit both again.

The 3S shawl that I am working on now. It is a fast knit and the pattern is easy to remember and I love the picot edging.

I just finished making my third Child’s Placket Neck Pullover from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. It is a great and quick baby sweater. I have also made two versions of the Hourglass sweater from that book. Which makes it my most used knitting book by far as there are other items I have made, but only once. This is funny because until I thought about it, I would never have listed it in my top ten books! What a fun question.
Kathy said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:15 pm
I have knit Paraphernalia socks a couple of times…love the cable and Bella’s mittens. Oh, also Linda K’s Yummy Mummy wristwarmers at least 5 times.

I have 2 patterns! I have made 3 of Kelly McClure’s sockhead hats and 2 of Martina Behm’s hitchhiker shawl. Both patterns work up beautifully with sock yarn and look wonderful. I love that sockhead is a nice cozy hat that my son, husband and I all wear. (though my husbands is a shorter version and he sometimes wears it inside out)
Hitchhiker is interesting enough while knitting, and it really shows off a colorful yarn.

I’ve knit the Brattleboro Hat (from Interweave Knits Fall 2010) four times now – once for myself and three times as gifts! I think it looks great on everyone, it’s a fast knit, it uses squishy Malabrigo, and you get to pick out fun buttons – I’d happily knit more!
Katharine said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:18 pm
The only pattern I have knit more than once is the Monkey sock pattern by Cookie A. I totally hear ya about getting bored with scarf patterns – I usually have 3 or 4 going at one time because I lose interest in them, but then if I come back to them after some time, the patterns seem fresh and new!

I’m currently knitting the Guernsey Wrap from Brooklyn Tweed and am already looking forward to knitting it again!

I love the Misty Chunky Ribs and Ruflles Scarf, http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/misti-chunky-ribs–ruffles-scarf I’ve made so many as gifts, plus two that I wear regularly.
And Susan B. Anderson’s Elefante http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elefante has been a great go-to gift for my recent onslaught of baby showers.
Amy said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:21 pm
I love to make Knitty’s Bubby bear for baby shower gifts – cute, fast, and I usually make a little scarf which lets me use some leftover sock yarn too!

I could knit Susie’s Reading Mitts until the cows come home. I just finished some in an amazing self-striping fingering … haven’t blocked them yet, since to do so would mean I would have to take them off!
MARY B said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:23 pm
I loved knitting the Rock Island shawl, as well as the My Heaven shawl, both knit in the shetland style, and would definitely knit either of them again and I will!

I’ve made three Multnomah shawls (on Ravelry). My most recent used Tosh Merino Light in Golden Hickory, which my DH bought for me at Loopy just before you left ST. Louis. (Miss you here! Love that Tosh!! ) I’ve also knitted more than a couple Lifestyle Toe Up Sox. Thanks for the chance to win that great looking goodie bag!

When I first started to knit lace several years ago I made a Swallowtail Shawl. Since then I have made 3 more. They’re easy and I can adjust the size to use any weight of yarn. I convinced 2 others in my knitting group to make them also and I think they have each made at least 2.

I participated in Wooly Wormhead’s hat KAL this fall. When my sister saw my Rubbish Mojitos hat, she wanted one, and so did my mother. I made a 4th one for an online friend who’s starting chemo shortly. (My BIL also wanted a hat, but I put my foot down and made him something different.) In a few months, when I recover, I have an orphan ball of sock yarn that will go nicely with my winter coat, so I might make a fifth one.
Kris said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:33 pm
I made a handful of Just Enough Ruffles scarves – and have plans to make a few more. It’s an easy project to take with me on errands, works up great in any fiber, and I’ve been assured by recipients that there’s no bad way to wear this scarf – it always looks great. One day I will make one for myself!
Alicia said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:34 pm
Oh, fun! I’ve knit the Belmondo shawl (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/belmondo-shawl) three times now, as well as the Traveling Woman shawl (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/traveling-woman). Both are quick, simple, stylish, and look great.
Jenn C. said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:34 pm
I’ve got two – Ysolda Teague’s Elijah the Elephant (I’ve knit at least four!) and a striped baby blanket from Knit Baby Blankets – you alter the stripes in a really cool way, and it looks a LOT harder than it actually is and I love making it for babies.
Kathy said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:35 pm
I have knit Saroyan from feministy.com twice, and am sure I will make others. It is a very relaxing knit with an interesting leaf border, and looks great in any type or color of yarn. I’ve even branched out and knitted the Double Leaf pattern modification, so really I’ve made three of them if that one also counts!
I also enjoy making Knitty’s Fetching whenever I have odd balls of yarn or leftovers – these mitts knit up super fast and always look cute. (They are also extremely handy for staying toasty yet having my fingers free to groom my horse in cold weather!)
Alexis said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:35 pm
The pattern I’ve made the most times is Grumperina’s Odessa. It’s a perfect gift since it uses just one ball of yarn, and the beads make it so pretty. I’ve also used the basic doll pattern from World of Knitted Toys numerous times, but each doll has been a different character, so not quite the same.
Eleanor said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:36 pm
I’ve made a lot of Ann Budd’s On Your Toes socks. They’re perfect for using up all of the yarn, particularly when I’m making men’s socks which take different amounts of yarn than women’s socks.
Robin said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:37 pm
I’ve knit the Double Layer Hat (Arlene Williams on Ravelry) 3 times and am planning on knitting more. Starts as a top down hat so very easy to modify the yarn/gauge and size on the fly!
Ali said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:39 pm
One pattern I love is knitspot’s Spiraluscious cowl, it’s elegant, fairly quick to knit, and when mine got lost in a house move I knit a second one from the leftover yarn. Love the leafy edging on it, and would happily knit more.
I’ve knit Cookie A’s Monkey socks 3 times at least, and knitspot’s Butternut scarf twice. Two times is usually my limit though.
Sarah said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:40 pm
I’ve made two of several patterns–Swallowtail, Multnomah, Ishbel, Annis, Traveling Woman, Wool Peddlar’s shawl, Damson, plus lots of 2 x 2 rib plain socks. I have plans for another Annis and Damson!
Nessa said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:40 pm
the sheldon baby blanket (minus pocket) from Knit Picks free patterns. It is a fast quick baby blanket (until you get to weaving in the ends) I have made 6 in the last year
the other big favorites are the Dorian Slouch from Fiddle Knits and the Super Slouch from Wendy Johnson. I have made multiples of each. Actually, I am getting ready to order more yarn to make them both again (again again)

I have knit three pair of Those Mitts by Leslie Friend.

They are quick and easy and so very useful on chilly days.

I have knitted Lady Eleanor which is a shawl in entrelac at least 5 times. In mutlicolor, Noro Iro, Noro silk garden light (2 times), and Noro silk garden. entrlac with long color changes is very relaxing but not boring knitting. I knit backwards on the purl rows so i don’t have to turn the work.
marissa said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:42 pm
I’ve done the ‘Charlize’ shawlette (free, on Ravelry) a couple of times, and still love it. It is light and open, easy to execute (on vacation, or watching tv), and looks spectacular!
Grace said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:42 pm
I’ve knit 4 noro ribbed scarves, 3 pairs of Hedgerow socks, 2 pairs of Hermione’s Everyday socks, 3 pairs of Monkey socks, 2 Asterope shawlettes, 2 Icarus shawls, 2 pairs of Spring Forward socks (wow, lots of socks!) and I’m currently knitting up my second Rock Island shawl. Oh, and I’ve knit 3 February Baby sweaters…they are so cute and are great for gifts!
Melissa said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:42 pm
I’ve made Christine’s Baby Bootees multiple times–they’re so cute and quick and easy! And the Traveling Woman Shawl twice, the Tangled Yoke Cardigan twice; I’m sure there are more but I can’t think of them off the top of my head!

I have made 4 of Holly Griffin-Weidner’s “Little Shells”, but my favorite is the one I made out of 2 colors of Blue Sky Alpaca Silk for Camp Loopy 2011 Project One. I have other “go to” patterns that I can knit up quickly for a gift, and a favorite sock pattern, but this is my favorite repeat!
Cindy said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:45 pm
I love this question. I’ve been going down the list checking all the patterns that I haven’t heard of on Ravelry. This is a fun way to find new patterns. I don’t knit many things twice because there are so many things I want to try, but I’ve knit a few palindrome scarves by Kristin Bellehumeur. I love that they are simple to do but look nice when finished.
Linda M Hebb said,

Wood Hollow Mittens – Made a second pair and the Wood Hollow Hat and am also working on the same stitch pattern in a scarf to match the hat and mitts
Melissa said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:46 pm
Aside from plain socks, the only pattern I have knit twice is Multnomah – one for me and one for a gift. I have been considering another pair of Monkeys and another Ishbel as well, though. And Veera’s new pattern Color Affection looks like it might be good to make more than once!
Megan said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:48 pm
I make vanilla socks based on the formula in Ann Budd’s “Getting Started Making Socks” all the time. I also have made Lisa’s and Katie’s Berets by Kirsten Kapur several times. It is such a fantastic slouchy hat pattern.
Joni said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:48 pm
The pattern I’ve knit the most often is the Swallowtail Shawl — I think I’ve made 10 of them, with very adaptations — in yarns from lace weight to aran, and they are all wonderful!
Jen said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:48 pm
It’s old school, but I love Elizabeth Zimmerman’s mitered mittens. I could knit them all day long (sometimes I do!)

Baby surprise jacket with fingering weight yarn. Always fun and it always knits up so pretty. I love using sock yarn for this one.
Debbie said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:48 pm
When I first learned to knit I made about five diagonal scarves out of various shades of Noro Silk Garden. I got a bit burned out after that. I have knit three different Garden scarves from Scarf Style. The third has been half finished for over a year. I finally got bored with the feather and fan pattern and the splitty yarn I was using. Finishing it is on my list of goals for this year.
I think I would knit the Malabrigo Cowl , Just Enough Ruffles and the Burbury Inspired cowl again.

I love making the Pomatomus socks by Cookie A. They are never boring and look great even in those multi-color yarns that only look good in the skein.
The Tulip sweater is another great knit that I have made several of.
Mim said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:54 pm
Baby items tend to get knit repeatedly. Susan B. Anderson’s Sweet Pea hat for one. I don’t usually knit a pattern more than once unless it’s something super simple, like toasty or if there have been a few years in between.
Leslie said,
January 25, 2012 @ 2:55 pm
Without a doubt monkey socks. I’ve just knit my first pair but I see more in the future.

I have knit a whopping four Citron shawlettes. I even bought yarn for a couple more, but finally ran out of steam (for now!)
Margie from Lavender Cottage said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:01 pm
I can answer this without any hesitation. It’s the Mara shawl. I will never not have one in progress. I have probably 4 or 5 friends that feel the same way. It’s so simple that it’s addictive. I’m not a big fan of garter stitch but I love this pattern. I like it best in varigated colors. The one I’m working on now is a cotton blend and is so nice to work with…pink, grey, brown and white. I just started this one and I’m already planning the third one!!!
Kathy said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:02 pm
Ive knit several pairs of Anne Hanson’s “The Sock Pattern to End all Sock Patterns”. This was the pattern I learned how to make socks on. I’ve now ventured into other of Anne’s fabulous sock patterns. I’m also planning another Hour Glass blanket.
geeky Heather said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:03 pm
I also love the Misty Chunky Ribs and Ruflles Scarf (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/misti-chunky-ribs–ruffles-scarf). I knit them for my nieces (and one for me!) and they loved them! I’m so slow that I don’t knit many things more than once!
Frances said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:04 pm
Despite the number of amazing sock patterns available, there are a few that I have knit more than once, including Wendy’s generic toe-up (various versions), Monkey socks, Yarnissima’s Brainless socks, Yarnissima’s firestarter socks, and Yarnissima’s spice kids (having 2 nephews with growing feet means that I have made this pattern 4 times already). I also made two Thorpes, of course one for each nephew.
Sarah (potterknitter) said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:04 pm
My go-to baby sweater is the Childs Placket Neck Sweater by Joelle Hoverson. I’ve made it at least 6 times though now I have adapted it to more of a Barbara Walker top down raglan. It still looks the same, just knit in the other direction.
Jeny said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:05 pm
I have so many sock patterns I want to try on my list I don’t tend to repeat them that often!. However, ‘Big Boss Man’ socks are the go-to pattern for my DH or Dad, as they fit really well, and are quick to knit up. Having just done Wendy Johnson’s Serpentine, in ‘Socks from the Toe Up’. I think I’ll be going back to do more of those. It’s a really simple pattern to memorise, and looks really effective.
JennC said,

Valerie said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:07 pm
Glancing at my projects page on Rav, I see that I have made Stephen West’s Herbivore more than once, and several iterations of Knitty’s Skew. I also make lots of Christine’s Stay-On Baby Booties and the Fleeglized Saartje Booties. I am certain I’ll make all of these patterns several more times, too.
Kelly S said,

January 25, 2012 @ 3:09 pm
I’m so glad you asked this. I’m looking over the list to get more project ideas! I’ve knit “Deb’s Easy Toe-up Sock” several times. Very simple, no thought required! It also fits and is comfortable. BTW, that Deb is not me!
Deborah said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:10 pm
The Baktus scarf/shawlette – great stash buster especially since sock yarn is not considered stash. I have 2 and am getting ready to cast on another for a friend.

January 25, 2012 @ 3:12 pm
I’ve knit 4 pair of Tardis socks. That’s the most. I’ve knit a few more things twice. I like to try something new for the most part, even in my charity knitting.
Theresa said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:14 pm
I don’t think I have knitted long enough to have knit anything twice… too many great patterns out there to knit! However, I am planning on more plain jane socks from the Yarn Harlot’s Knitting Rules. Need to have the basic sock down pat before moving on to more fun stuff!
odessa said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:15 pm
Fletcher Mitts! And if crocheting counts the Vargavinter mittens – it’s a great way to use all those one-skeins of really pretty worsted weight yarn.

Tara K said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:18 pm
I have a tendency towards not knitting the same thing twice, unless you count things like socks where you need to make a set. However, I had so much fun knitting the Felted Bag with Mitered Squares by Kristi Porter that I did make two, and that’s a fair amount of knitting. So worth it though, just looking at them makes me want to go grab some Noro for another. I’ve also made 3 Dream Swatch Head Wrap by Wendy Bernard, and I could easily do more, because they are so quick and enchanting. I know I’ve made two Baby Surprise Jackets by Elizabeth Zimmerman, and will likely knit a third this year… For the most part though I’d almost always rather knit something new. There are so many awesome patterns and I have a finite amount of life to work with. I feel like if I keep repeating the same knits then I will never make it through even half the projects that I want to.
grace said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:19 pm
mention contest and the comments soar!!! I have made many patterns over and over including lots of rebecca dangers monsters, alan darts gnomes, cupcakes, and shawls and scarves, I have even made the rambling rows blanket and Shalom a few times. I like new and I like tried and true!!
Jen said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:19 pm
I’ve only knit Ishbel more than once (6 times, to be exact…..5 were for gifts.) I’m currently knitting a Viefalt and I can see myself repeating that one a few more times.
ladydisdn said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:20 pm
I’ve knit a couple of Dean Street hats, and knit Liesel twice. I will eventually make at least 2 more Parseltongue Hats. I would also knit TGV again – it gets boring, but I really love the simplicity of the finished shawl. I would love to have it in a bunch of different colors.
There are so many great patterns out there, that I usually like to knit something new!
Pat Facemire said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:20 pm
The latest repeat pattern I have been using is one for a ear flap hat. I looked up a skull design hat on ravelry, and found one by “so much yarn, so little time” Enjoyable knit!

Thanks for the contest.

I have knit Kate Ray’s Multnomah three times. First I made one for me, and I was wearing it half the time – then I needed a different colour to match the rest of my clothes.. then all the women in my family wanted one. The third that I knit was just blocked and is going to my granny this weekend. I love how it looks like complicated lace, but is really a mindless knit. It works nicely with striping, multicoloured or solid yarn, and it can be done in all weights of yarn and adapts to how much yardage you got. I think there might be more of them in my future.
Marcia said,

I’ve made the Diezel Seedie Ribbie Beanie at least four times now. It’s a super easy pattern and the hats look awesome in any color of BSA Worsted (or any worsted weight yarn).
Janet said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:23 pm
I can’t get enough of Sally Melville’s Einstein coat, both the bulky and the worsted versions. I’ve completed two and started two more. Such meditative, peaceful knitting, and such a striking coat when completed! Also, Embossed Leaves socks from Favorite Socks. I’ve made at least 3 pair and plan many more.

The first sweater I ever made was the Central Park Hoodie. I followed the directions and made it in pieces as the pattern specified. Upon completion, I immediately casted on a second one, this time doing it all in one piece. I love that sweater.

there’s 2 – felted clogs from Fiber Trends and mittens from Magnificent Mittens – not the same fair isle pattern but many pairs from that book – I love them all.

How do you pick just one? two of them are…Ann Budd’s Basic Mitten/Gloves and Elizabeth Zimmerman’s baby surprise jacket.

So far I’ve only knit 2 hat patterns multiple times – Jacques Cousteau and Hermione’s Cable & Eyelet Hat. I had first made them for my husband and myself respectively, and my mother saw them and wanted one of each for herself!
Other patterns I will probably knit in the future include a chevron scarf so I can experiment with different colors, Monkey socks so I can choose a better colorway, and a Trousseau shawl for myself since I gave my first to my grandmother!
Oh yeah! Almost forgot the super cute Sexy Vesty; I loved my first one and I want more in different colors. Next up will be orange, I think.

At the moment, it’s got to be the Honey Cowl. I’m not counting other patterns because I knit all kinds of things more than once for gifts, this pattern is just grabbing me right now. I’ve only made two, so far, but can’t wait to start one for me. It’s such a simple pattern, and the fabric is so squishy, that it’s going to be my go-to pattern for cowls. I’m always on a quest for the perfect cowl, and I’m pretty sure that search is over…just sayin’!
Another pattern that I will probably knit again (fingering weight and all) because I love it so much is Frost Thread, by Veera Valimaki. However, I’ve only just finished my first, so won’t be knitting another very soon…too many other things more pressing.

I enjoyed knitting the Forest Canopy shawl and can see myself knitting more in various yarn weights to create different sizes, for different seasons. I have also knit Hedgerow socks a few times; I keep coming back to that pattern for it’s simplicity yet it’s not too plain or boring.
Beth said,

The only thing that I have ever knitted twice is a felted bag (pattern from a Knitter’s magazine). It looks like the Ohio Star quilt block.

January 25, 2012 @ 3:30 pm
The other thing, other than washcloths, that I’ve knit more than once is the Shawl Collared Cowl by Alana Dakos. It was a quick and easy knit, and turned out lovely. Thanks for the giveaways.

I have made numerous Simple Things projects. I made it for Camp Loopy two-colored project in orange/navy multi and navy. It is a nice smaller neckscarf or if made larger — either with more edge repeats or sport, DK or worsted yarn, it becomes a lovely shawlette.
Diane said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:36 pm
Last year, I made two scarves from the “28′s Cousin 53″ pattern. The first was for the first project for Camp Loopy, and I liked it so much I made one for my sister for Christmas (it was a big hit).
I have also done multiples of a couple of hat patterns, the Classic WWII Watch Cap and the Ribbed Watchman’s Hat.
Glad the new shop is a hit! I’d love to get to CO sometime to visit in person!

Well, not counting the k2p2 rib socks that I make pair after pair of for the husband – because I knit them for him, not for my personal enjoyment… I really love the Star Crossed Slouchy Beret by Natalie Larson, I just set aside the materials for my second within two months. Also, I think I’m going to have to make multiple pairs of the Bellatrix socks. I just finished the first in about three days, and love them. I want to see how they knit up in other colors.
Lovely contest, Sheri, and glad to see that things are going so well in Colorado.

A couple of years ago I made several pairs of French Press Felted Slippers for Christmas gifts. I would make them again.
Also, from the book One Skein I have knitted the ‘muffler’ from the Rib and Cable Quartet pattern using Dream in Color Classy – one for my brother and one for my brother-in-law. They love the shorter scarves and the feel of the yarn.
Several years ago (or more, *ahem*), I participated in the first ever Sock War. I’ve knitted the International Sock of Doom two times since the Sock War I ended.

I have knitted “azzu” shawlette four times and I have considered it for my Christmas yarn. Also have done two “baby suprise” sweaters and will do more because they are a FUN knit. My basic sock pattern have been done lots.

I’ve knit any number of the Yarn Harlot’s basic sock recipe. I’ve also mde two pair of Chevron Socks (a nice basic pattern with a little more pizzazz than the basic sock recipe) I plan on making another Holly Berry hat before next Christmas. It’s a colorwork pattern that is so much fun. The second one (I knit one for myself this year) is going to the women who owns the tree farm we cut our tree at. I have a great basic mitten pattern—it took me years to find. I’ve also knit two kangaroo sweaters. Speaking of Wendy, I’ve knit two of her Seaside Shawls and plan on making another Kauni Shawl.

Annette said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:42 pm
I’ve knit Yarn Harlot’s Plain Socks (from Knitting Rules) at least three times and made two scarves using her “One-Row Scarf” pattern (one in fingering and one in DK weight). That is definitely my go-to pattern – easy to memorize (4 stitch repeat!) and adaptable to any yarn weight.
Belinda Giliberti said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:42 pm
It would definitely be Wendy’s Trilobite Sock pattern. I have knit three sets of them and I have a fourth one on the needles right now! One in bugga, one in Casbah, one in mad tosh sock and a current one in skinny bugga. I have small feet so I modified the pattern a bit, eliminating some of the purl stitches between the trilobites. Such a great pattern!

Quite a few actually. Annis (from Knitty) I did like, six of them one year for holiday gifts. Same with “mama jane”, a slipper pattern. that was the year before. There’s a one skein spiral Kureyon hat that I’ve made many of. And the ever-interesting entrelac socks, of course.
I’ve also made YH’s one row scarf over and over.

I love the Carolina Queen of Naples sock pattern. It does fun things to self-striping yarn, which I also love, and it was easier to get gauge for it than Jaywalker (I was about 10 sts/inch too small for that one!). I’ve made it at least five or six times. Best of all- the pattern is free on Ravelry!

Recently I have made 4 of the Tiny Tea Leaves Cardi from Mad.Tosh in Vintage. Love the sweater and it is a great gift. I have also made. I have also made the Spud and Chloe raglan cardigan for adults and children. Can’t tell you how many santa faced christmas (all personalized) stockings that I have made (at least 1 dozen) in Cascade 220. Family sock pattern from Mountain Colors…..great baby socks-have made multiples of those too, use them for bag accessories as shower gifts. I guess I repeat a lot
. Always looking forward to your blogs and what is new. Thank you again for all the time you put into such a beautiful and FUN store.

The Purl Ridge hat from Malabrigo book 3 is a favorite of mine. Also the ever popular Ishbel scarf. I have knit the hat from Malabrigo and from Fiesta Flurry. I can’t decide which is my favorite. Ishbel was knit in Rowan’s Panama first…..nice as a neck scarf. Then I knit it in Malabrigo worsted weight. This one is worn much more often, as it keeps my shoulders warm thus increasing my knitting time.

I’m not reading any comments above or below me. I have 52 pages of patterns in my Rav Q right now! I cannot imagine what might happen if I do!
The pattern that has gotten me is the sock head hat. I’ve knit three so far. I only quit because I realized that my short hair is invisible when wearing that style hat. Since I don’t wear them, I quit making them, but that sure doesn’t mean I wouldn’t whip one up for a gift!
Josiane said,
January 25, 2012 @ 3:57 pm
The first pattern that comes to mind when I think of what I’ve knit more than once is Stephanie Pearl-McPhee’s sock recipe, simply. It’s great mindless knitting, it results in useful socks, and its simple stockinette-ness lets the yarn and the colors shine!
LaurenM said,

I knit the Eunice socks by CookieA twice and will probably do them again. I also knit the “Fireside” sweater twice. It’s a replica of a sweater Cameron Diaz wore in “The Holiday” movie which I just fell in love with. I was about to try to reverse engineer the pattern myself when someone else put one up in Ravelry. I just love it.

I’ve yet to knit the same pattern twice, but I think the current project I’m working on (mittens called Winter Buzz) will become a second pair. I bought the yarn with the intentions of participating in a KAL to knit my sister a pair of mittens for her birthday next month, but I’m in love with the cabled honeycomb pattern that I’m totally going to make some mittens for myself after this pair is done

The one row lace scarf by Turvid. Ravelry free pattern. I too do not like to knit scarves because they get tiresome but this one moves right along and is easy to do in front of the tv and is very portable. It is a great gift for everyone because it is light and I have friends who live in warmer climes. Also, you can memorzie the repeat in a skinny minute! It is a win win win!

I have made the Pioneer Braid scarf from the Hither and Yarn blog several times. I absolutely adore this pattern. It knits up quickly; it has enough variety to be interesting, but simple enough to memorize and not have to use a pattern. I also have a basic sock pattern that I turn to time and time again. I can see the new Cloisnee mittens becoming a fast favorite as well.
Christel said,

I’ve also knit the Misty Chunky Ribs and Ruffles scarf several times. And one of our local designers has a great cabled hat pattern that I have knit at least 5 times. I’m a slow knitter and rarely have time to knit what I want once, much less twice! This hat is such a quick knit, if I need a gift I can do one over the weekend even at my pace! Thanks Sheri for the great contests, yarn and service!!

I don’t know if this will count but I love this triangle shawl pattern I have from my knitting group at church. It’s got a nice large open lacy border but the main body is plain knit so the border pops nicely. Again, nothing fancy but it looks pretty and goes quickly on large needles.

Socks. I’ve made probably 50 pairs. The pattern I use is one loosely based on the Yankee Knitter sock pattern, adapted for two circs.
I’ve also made the Chicknits Ribbi Cardi five times so far. Several for me, the rest for gifts. This pattern seems to look great on anyone so it’s my go-to pattern for a gift sweater. I’ve knitted three Forest Canopy shawls and two Adamas shawls and there could be another of either one in my near future. I’m leaving on vacation next week and they make great travel projects. Just busy enough to be interesting, but not too complicated that the pattern isn’t easily memorized.

I’ve knit Jared Flood’s “Noro Striped Scarf” 3 times, and I’m planning the 4th. It is so fun and easy and colourful. I’m toying with the idea of casting on a bunch more stitches and making a blanket that way. I’ve also knit Multnomah twice, and would love to knit it again, maybe with some MadelineTosh sock the next time.
Kathy said,
January 25, 2012 @ 4:48 pm
I’ve knit the Citron a couple of times out of various yarns and the Mara twice. I’ve tried the Clapotis twice. Frogged the first try, the second is looking better in my opinion. I’ve also made scads for hats for charity always using the same pattern from Lion Brand.

I’ve made many plain vanilla socks, but the one pattern I have gone to repeatedly is the top down raglan baby cardigan from Knitting Pure and Simple. I have done some with hoods and some without; I have done them in stripes and plain; I have jazzed them up with embroidery or fancy buttons. It is such an easy pattern, but it is easy to make each one different, and they always fit well.
Robby said,
January 25, 2012 @ 4:51 pm
I counted a while back and I have made 8 (eight!!) Multnomah shawls. They work up quickly, fit most anyone well and are a lovely meditative knit when you’re thinking of someone. I recently finished a TGV, and am casting about right now for the next perfect skein to repeat that one. My sister barely got that Christmas gift, it was hard to set it free.

My favorite repeat pattern, is really more of a knitting recipe. Years back (2005?) there was a guide to making gloves in Interweave knits. Using that guide I have made at least 5 pairs of gloves, or 6, I can’t tell because I have lost count. They are great for commuting and fumbling for keys and cards while keeping my hands warm. I even make mitten covers for when it’s too cold for my fingers.

Also made the Noro One Row scarf three times (lost my original, had to make another for me—another a gift) also have made the Yarn Harlot’s Plain Sock pattern a few times (from Knitting Rules).

I rarely knit the same pattern over again but I love the Young Einstein pattern from the Little Rascal’s ebook…so many options for kid sweaters! Lots of sizes as well as a hood or collar. Also, the pattern is basic enough to allow for personalization- colorwork, etc! I have made 3 and have another planned for my daughter.

I love Waterfall socks by Wendy Johnson, and the Boneyard shawl by Stephen West, and the Citron Shawl all of which I’ve made twice. There are just so many things to make that I want to try something new, so I rarely make a pattern more than once.
See you and the Elves this Saturday! I can barely stand the wait!

I am starting my second Shaelyn by Leila Raabe. The first was a graduation gift for my daughter and the second will be mine out of handspun gifted to me at Christmas by a dear friend. I have also made several lined mittens using the pattern I recieved when I signed up to learn how to make mittens several years ago and Wendy Knits basic sock pattern.
Lauren said,

I love the Baktus pattern. It is perfect for showing off all of the beautiful dyeing that goes on and for those special single skeins of yarn or even handspun!

I have knit the Thinking of You Shawl from Knit Along with Debbie Macomber: Friendship Shawls in so many colors, usually using Stitch Nation Bamboo Ewe (4 skeins). This is the shawl I knit as a comfort/friendship shawl the most. I have Wendy Knits Lace as well; it will be very adicting once I start knitting the patterns

Christy said,
January 25, 2012 @ 5:15 pm
I have several patterns that I’ve knit multiple times, usually to give away as gifts. I keep finding myself heading back to the One Row Lace Scarf by Turvid, not only for myself to knit, but for others who are just starting out. I love it because it’s simple enough that you can memorize the pattern, but still looks good in a variety of different yarns. I’ve also knit a bunch of Swirly Gig Earflap hats. It’s not as easy as the scarf, but it looks more difficult than it is, so people are always impressed.

I have a list a mile or two long that I WANT to knit, but I always have a pair of my own version of a generic ribbed toe-up sock on the needles for my “handbag” project that goes everywhere with me. I’m up to maybe my 5th pair so far.
Karen Cain said,

Melissa LeBarre free pattern Stella’s Hat is a great quick knit with a flattering shape. It’s one of those patterns that switches things up just as you are getting bored but is still very simple to work up.

The Whisper cardigan (Hannah Fettig) was my obsession of choice a year or so ago. I ended up with 3, my mum,1 and I have a 5th planned for my sister (after much hinting when my mum got her’s). So quick to knit and great for fit since my mum and sis live on the other side of the world from me.
I don’t usually repeat sock patterns but the following were so great I did them again – Embossed Leaves (Mona Schmidt), Spring Shoots (Alice Yu), Monkeys and Kai Mei (Cookie A).
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great package.
Mary said,
January 25, 2012 @ 5:31 pm
I’ve made two Rambling Rows afghans (one for nephew and one for niece), many mittens from Elizabeth Durand’s basic pattern, many booties from an old pattern, and many bedsocks for my mother from an old English pattern. Fun question! Have fun at the grand opening!

I won’t say I enjoy knitting it, but Clapotis is one pattern that I have knit several times. The finished product is well worth the slog through miles of stockinette.

I am a slow knitter too, and have knitting ADD I think, so I don’t knit many things twice, but I’ve knit two pairs of Dashing mitts, and several pairs of felted clogs with the pattern from Fiber Trends.
Karen said,
January 25, 2012 @ 5:49 pm
I have a few patterns that I knit over and over
1) Cookie A’s Monkey Sock, but I do it toe up – I’m on my 7th pair and counting
2) Sockhead Hat – I’ve made 3 so far and I see many more – I quick way to use a skein of sock yarn
3) Clapotis – I think I’ve made 3 and Mom has just asked for one, so of course I will oblige
Barbara S. said,
January 25, 2012 @ 5:57 pm
Clapotis several times, and will do it again several times I’m sure! Hitchhiker, both sock-weight and worsted for a Prayer Shawl, could see doing again. Windschief, both as a hat and a cowl, love it a lot and will be making several more as gifts. Shaelyn twice so far, both gifts; maybe someday I’ll have one of my own. DW/Darrell Waltrip Dishcloth and the Ballband dishcloth are my usual go-to patterns for dishcloths; I would have to look on Ravelry to see how many of each of those I have done, I know it is a bunch!
Jessica said,
January 25, 2012 @ 5:58 pm
I’ve made the Tulips baby cardigan twice… so cute, and you go so fast from color to color that I would think just one more color instead of just one more row!
I’ve also made Cookie A’s Pomatamus as gloves, and I love them so much that I think I’ll do the pattern as socks, too.

Pre-Ravelry days, among other multiple things I knit many Baby Surprise Jackets. Now, with the exposure to so many new patterns daily, my list of planned items is huge so repeating almost never happens.
But, I’ve found a sweet pattern that I’ve deemed repeatable – Jasmine Lace Fingerless Mitts, I’ve made a few…

About 4 years ago, I couldn’t resist knitting multiple Dream Swatch Head Wraps by Knit and Tonic. I made them longer so they’d be scarf legnth and my Mother loved the one I gave her to wear during her chemo treatments. I’ve since purchased the duo patterns, and hope to start the cowl soon. I know I’ll feel Mother smiling at me as I knit it.
Cathy said,

I’m another slow knitter and I do my share of modifications but I’ve made several top-down raglan baby sweaters in Fawn Pea’s Super-Natural Stripes pattern, two Crofter’s Cowls (Gudrun Johnston), two or three Nova Seals’ Birthday Cowls, and at least four pair of baby “Uggs” from Candy Jensen’s Knit Suede Baby Booties pattern. That yarn is discontinued or I think I’d still be making those!

I would make another Vodka Gimlet sweater but I have to finish a couple (ahem) other sweaters first!

Wendy’s toe up sock cast on so that I do not have to do the provisional cast on (sorry don’t remember what its called) with short row heel. Ok its sort a combined pattern from a couple of Wendy’s D Johonsons patterns but I took the bits I liked and use this pretty consistanly for my my socks.
Judy-Lynne said,

The pattern I’ve knit the most is Susan Lawrence’s Forest Canopy Shawl. It was my gateway into lace knitting and I’ve literally lost count of how many I’ve made–somewhere between 14 and 20. I’ve also made more fingerless mitts than I can keep track of. I’ve done both patterns so often that I do them from memory.

I’ve knit the Gwen Slouchy Beret four times. I found this free pattern using worsted weight yarn on Ravelry. I’ve knit this easy lace beret for my Mom, sister, niece, and girlfriend. Now I’m finally knitting one for myself from the Lang Yak yarn (dark purple)that I recently ordered from LOOPY EWE. Good thing it’s a fast knit — Can’t wait!
Robin said,
January 25, 2012 @ 6:48 pm
The more unusual thing for me is to knit something only once. But when it comes to multiples, I’ve knit up dozens of small beaded knit bags and quite a few pairs of Money Socks by CookieA. Love that sock pattern!
Rachel said,
January 25, 2012 @ 6:49 pm
The project I have made the most is Le Slouch by Wendy Bernard – it’s a fabulous seed stitch beret that works up fast (even for seed stitch!) in worsted weight. And I’ve made them all selfishly – they are all for me!! I’ve also knit Fetching mitts three times – once for me and twice for gifts – they make a great present!

Monkey socks (of course), but the pattern I plan to use the most is the Lily Cardigan by Marie Grace. I have made it twice, but plan even more for it. 1100 yards DK weight yarn, top-down, flattering, skimming silhouette – what’s not to love? And as soon as you can restock the Malabrigo Arroyo, I’ll be casting on another one!

I have two favorite patterns. The basic tam from Mary Rowe’s Knitted Tams book is great, though honestly, I usually add in some kind of colorwork I’ve designed. Also, I adore the Butterfly Moebius from The Knitter’s Book of Yarn. Really shows off a nice sock yarn well.

Sheer numbers made when go to the Preemie Baby Beanie pattern by Karen Everitt (or another preemie sized hat pattern), no wait it’s the Pumpkin hat in preemie size. The first year I made them I did over 30 (I worked in the NICU at the time). All the babies who could wear a hat were decked out in the pumpkin hat that year. I figured they needed a costume for trick-or-treat. That was some cute overload.

I have knit Calorimetry more than once. I have a go to baby gift of a Plymouth Encore baby sweater pattern that I have made probably 10 times. It can be made with 1 200 yard skein for the smaller size so it’s quick and easy.
Kathleen said,
January 25, 2012 @ 7:09 pm
I have a few favorite patterns I’ve done more than once. I would do almost anything I’ve knitted again, especially the felting projects.
- Pittsburgh Steelers Hat in Cascade 220 (really enjoyed the stranding)
- Felted Drawstring Bag by Becky Summer (loved the way the bottom forms)
- Fixation Headband in Three Styles 2007 (I tie dyed with Procion MX for extra fun)
All three can be found for free on Ravelry!

I don’t think I’ve knit any patterns more than twice and there are only a few patterns I’ve knit more than once. My favorite is probably the linen stitch scarf, which took forever the first time I knit it just because the rows are 500 stitches long (knit lengthwise). But it just came out so awesome that I wanted to try it again. The second go was to use up a bunch of sock leftovers and it was surprisingly zen to knit. I’ve got yarn for another one all set to go.
Beth said,
January 25, 2012 @ 7:18 pm
I’ve done a couple of Forest Canopy shawls and plan to do more. Easy beginner lace with a beautiful, quick finish in bigger yarn (but you can do it in any yarn). That was the first that sprung to mind, then I remembered that I just finished knitting two pair of Laridae mittens and am planning at least two more pair. I have also knit MimKnit’s Foliage shawl twice, with the yarn she designed it in and with plans for one more (for me this time), the others were gifts.
Leah said,
January 25, 2012 @ 7:19 pm
I’ve made very few patterns more than once but last spring I went a little nuts…
I made 198yd of Heaven out of Bugga (fingering weight instead of the worsted called for in the pattern) – I kept adding repeats until I ran out of yarn. I loved working the pattern stitches so much that I immediately cast on another one, this time using DiC Classy (worsted)… and then another … and another… I made 3 out of Classy in just 10 days total.
All 4 of them have been given as gifts. I’m really itching to make another for myself.
Andrea said,
January 25, 2012 @ 7:21 pm
I really like Alix’s shawl from Debbie Macomber. Easy, quick, anf fun – plus I put lot of prayer thoughts in making one. One of my fav gift shawls is Sivia Harding’s Norwegian Woods. Varied enough not to be boring and looks fabulous!!

I have made Cookie A’s monkey socks 4 times and did the Mara shawl twice. Also did the Travelling Woman shawl 5 times in different weights of yarn. And made Ann Norling easy cowl twice-one in Cascade 220 and the other in Misti Alpaca Chunky.

I have made 3 Turn A Square hats, a few Clapotis of different sizes, 2 Citrons, several Just Enough Ruffle scarves, and a few Monkey socks. I don’t like knitting the same thing more than once- haha! I don’ mind if I don’t “have” to knit it or they are done in different fibers or colors.

I have made two each of Jared Flood’s turn a square hat and striped scarf. Waiting for their turn are a second pair of Glenna’s so simple silk garden sock and a larger version of Wendy’s summer mystery shawlette.

The pattern I’ve knit the most is the Chinese Waves dishcloth. Love the way it turns out. And, I’ve made 48 tiny mittens to make 2 complete Smitten advent calendars.

I am almost done with Cloisonee and really love the mittens! I have colors picked out for about a dozen more!
My favorite scarf pattern is one posted on the Riihivilla blog. Basically, it is a cable centered in knit one, purl one ribbing. It comes out beautifully. I have made it multiple times now.

I’ve knit several of the scarf pattern where you use two althernating skeins of two different self striping yarns. It was maybe a Jared Flood pattern, using Noro – but I use other brands of yarn sometimes. And, of course, a plain vanilla sock is my go-to pattern when I need to throw something on the needles quickly.

Purl Bee’s Swan Island Hand Warmers is my go-to mitts pattern. I love it; it’s easy, and the mitts are reversible. I can change the ribbing width and easily play around with the pattern. Thank you for the contest.

My go to sock pattern is Licorice Twist – Debbie O’Neil. I love the cuff on this sock pattern and have even used just the cuff pattern on plain socks.
The most recent pattern has been Catkin. This was only the 3rd shawl I had ever done and I loved the pattern so much I made 3 of them for Christmas gifts. Funny thing I still want to knit a couple more. Did I say I love this pattern!

I plan on making the Cloisonnee Mittens ALOT…love the use of color. I am going to try to figure out how to put that stitch on a hat, too. A scarf is easy, but then there would be a wrong side to it…
I’ve made the Tulip baby sweater a few times, changing teh color sequence a bit when needed to use up the yarn! Also, quite a few of those ‘vegetable’ and ‘fruit’ hats for babies. How cute are they!!!!!!!! Just 2 colors, one for the ‘fruit’ and one for the leaves and stem….and only the knit stitch…so easy.

I’ve knit Monkey socks a few times as well as a few of my own patterns a few times.

Yes! Diane Soucy’s Knitting Pure and Simple Children’s Pullover sweater. Both of my boys have received one of these and I’ve also knitted one for a friend’s daughter.

I love Fiber Trends’ Versatile Scarves pattern. It’s a nice long-tailed triangular scarf that can be worn in a number of ways. I think I’ve made three so far…… That and Ann Budd’s basic sock pattern. I know I’ve made at least a dozen pairs of socks over the years using her great basic sock pattern.

I love the Foliage pattern from Knitty. I have knit 3 of them now…and actually I also love the Koolhaas pattern by Jared Flood. I recently knit Foliage and turned it into a super slouchy beret. My daughter is constantly stealing it.. lol. And lastly I am in love with ALL rainknitwear designs patterns. Specifically the Fisherman’s Pullover as of late. I knit one for my son for Christmas 2011 and I am already planning a second one for him and one for my daughter. =D

When I really like a pattern, it is several person size and one doll size. I’ve made four Ishbels (by Ysolda Teague). The first one for my daughter , second and third as gifts for friends and the last in size 00 and 0 needles in cobweb weight silk as a gift for another friend for a 22″ doll. So, no, not a lot of knitting in the 00 needles, just tiny, can’t make any mistakes or drop a stitch knitting. I’ve yet to make one for myself (or for my dolls).
Recently I’ve made two Lintilla (by Martina Behm) neck scarfs for Yankee Swap gifts. I’ll make one in doll size, maybe in lace weight yarn for my dolls. That is when I get caught up, so many unfinished knits waiting for time.
Lori said,
January 25, 2012 @ 9:21 pm
I have knit the Fishtail Lace Scarf three times. I just love the lace pattern and I get in a rhythm when knitting it. I have given two away as gifts and I have kept one. It is always my go-to scarf when I need something warm. It is also a very pretty lace pattern and dresses up any outfit!

I love love love the pattern for the Spectrum Scarf. I cheat and don’t do all the color changes, just knit it with a single strand of any sized yarn and appropriately sized needles. I’ve done it with worsted, sock and DK weight yarns.
Kate said,
January 25, 2012 @ 9:59 pm
I have knit several Clapotis. It’s a great pattern for people with all kinds of taste. The other thing that I knit over and over isn’t technically a pattern-it’s the Yarn Harlot sock recipe sock from Knitting Rules! That is my go-to pattern when I don’t have anything else ready to start.

I’ve also knitted 6 or 7 pairs of “Fiddlehead Mittens” by Adrian Bizilia. I saw the update on the Stonehedge Fiber Mill DK weight yarn, and my first though was “that would be perfect for Fiddleheads!”

I made one in every color of mini-mochi for gifts this year. They’re really fun to make, use exactly one ball of yarn and the color changing effects keep it interesting time after time. I just went to my LYS and saw a new color and snapped it up to make another!

Knitty’s Fetching fingerless mitts are quick and yet so lovely with the cables and picot edge. So far I’ve done 7 pairs and even kept 2 for me! Madeline Tosh Heirloom is another quick and easy but oh so lovely baby blanket and my latest favorite is the 3S shawl – easy and yet each one can look so different depending on how you work it up and edge it.

Knitty’s Thuja. I’ve knit nearly 20 of them, none for me yet, and they’re my go-to gift sock. Quick, worsted weight, great for men or women, looks good in solid or variegated yarn, this may just be the perfect pattern ever! I’m knitting four pairs right now as thank-you presents for the people who wrote my grad school recommendation letters, and finally have some Malabrigo Rios sitting on my shelf, ready to be a pair for me!

I’ve knit Eleanor Yates’ Froth scarf with Rowan Kidsilk Haze 17 times. A couple times, I subbed in Schulana Kid Seta or Douceur et Soie kid mohair blend. (Same yarn, different companies– I still prefer KSH slightly for that je ne sais quoi that the others don’t quite have.) I’ve also knit 3 Susan Pierce Lawrence’s Forest Canopy Shawls. 4 or 5 of Yarn Harlot’s Unoriginal Hats, and at least 3 of her Pretty Thing neckwarmers. 3 pairs of Victoria Baker’s Treads fingerless mitts (Free pattern on Ravelry!). 2 of Norah Gaughan’s Manos– one in cotton, one in wool– it’s a totally different sweater. And lots and lots of baby booties and hats of my own improvised but quick design, but that was more out of necessity. I WANT to knit a second Sprossling sweater by Anne Hanson, and I could see perhaps a second February Lady Sweater. I undersized Margaret Atkinson’s Botanical from Twist Collective (the only time my refusal to swatch has had consequences), but I also haven’t blocked it. So I need to both block it and perhaps try again. But I’d find something to do with that Wollmeise– that’s for sure!
Kelli said,

I tend to knit Jaywalkers. It’s just the best fitting sock IMHO, and it’s a great pattern for those handpainted yarns that fight with most patterns. I also have knit The Oz vest (from Natural Knits for Babies and Moms) like 5 times. It’s just so stinkin cute!

Most recently, I knit the Molly hat twice – once as a gift & once for myself (I liked it so much that I had to have one to keep my own ears warm). And also the Commuter Mitts from knitty (also one for me and one for a gift).
Other than that, a couple Ishbels, several sets of Fetching mitts, and a plethora of Danica (entrelac) scarves – the Danica is so fun to knit in Noro & watch the color changes.

There are so many nice patterns it’s really hard to repeat one, but I have knit so many dishcloths with this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/double-bump-dishcloth
It’s my favorite and I really don’t do many others. This pattern makes a nice scarf too!
Andrea said,
January 25, 2012 @ 10:48 pm
Oh my, yes. I have made the Keep His Head Warm Watch Cap at least ten times…two Multnomah shawls…three Two Weeknights with Warrick scarves…and soooooo many February Baby Sweaters!

Hands down it would be my personal magic loop basic sock pattern. I’ve made at least 50 pair!

But last summer I knit Summer Flies and loved ir and got my friends to knit it too so all together we did 12!

I have knitted two 22.5 degree shawls from Martina Behm. Great traveling projects. I also have made a Hitchhiker and I am currently working on a Trillian in Wool Candy that I got at the Loopy Ewe.
I got the Wendy Knits Lace book for Christmas and haven’t started anything yet although I know I have some yarn that would look terrific in the scarf you made.
Ann said,
January 25, 2012 @ 10:56 pm
If you don’t count the many socks I’ve knit from my same basic pattern, then I would have to say the shawl Mara. One basic Mara and then 2 more with a slight variation.
Donna said,

I have done the felted clogs several time as well as Fetchings as gifts. I usually make the same 2×2 ribbed socks for my husband, really easy and not too fancy for him.

Looks like every one want’s in on this one.
Favorite pattern???? This week I decided that the Multnomah is my fav. It’s easy AND FUN [who doesn’t love Feather & Fan} and so darn easy to wear.
A Multnomah is my grab-on-the-run-out-the-door scarf/shawlette .
Juana said,
January 25, 2012 @ 11:11 pm
I have knitted many, many plain socks from the same pattern (it was from a class I took to learn how to). Two clapotis, two Stripe Study(my favorite shawl) and three Swallowtail Shawls, all in Noro yarn. And several children’s hats like Tricable that is soooo cute in babies. I am prone to repeat patterns that are short and sweet. Would never do a Nuvem twice, LOL.
Have a wonderful time at the opening, please post pictures of the event.

The only patterns I have knit multiple times are my plain old vanilla sock pattern and a felted oven knit pattern that I made for Christmas gifts one year. Both useful for breaks between more challenging projects.

I’m working on my second “Miss Marple Shawl.” It will be for my son’s fiancee. Then I will knit another for my daughter. The first one I knit was for myself, and the fourth one I will knit will also be for myself. Looks so great when it is done! A great shawl to knit when watching TV. And long enough to really keep you warm on chilly days.
Jean said,

I have made two of Jared Flood’s hat patterns 4 times, Koolhaas and Fortnight and his brooklyn tweed scarf 4 times for my son and 3 son in laws. But the largest thing I have knit several times is Sivia Harding’s Waves in the Square Shawl. I have made 4 and have yarn to do two more.

Sherry said,

I’ve knit Cookie A’s Bex socks twice, because I loved how the pattern kept me entertained. (I like complexity.) And then otoh, I’ve knit two of Wendy Johnson’s Ripple Hat, because it’s a nice, simple slouchy hat shape and the garter and stockinette show off variegated yarns beautifully.
Also, innumerable felted mice toys for the cats, but those hardly count.
Bev White said,
January 25, 2012 @ 11:53 pm
A favorite pattern is Fresco Basket Whip Cowl from Classic Elite Yarns. I’ve knitted one in Fresco and another in a hand-painted wool/silk blend. I’m planning another in black silk, followed by a grey alpaca. It’s easy, drapes nice and the ladies in the knitting class like it.
Abby M said,

I’ve knit a couple of Multnomahs but I found a different version of it called “Larch”. I’ve made at least 4 of these. I love the size with fingering yarn. Socks with a 3×1 rib are always on the needles. I can’t guess how many I’ve made.
Great question! Great responses! And great prizes! Thanks Sheri.

Great question- but dangerous for the Rav queue! I haven’t ever doubled up (too many new things I want to knit!) but think i will end up knitting several Shaelyn shawls. It knit up so fast and looks like there is much more work in it than there really is.
Anna said,
January 26, 2012 @ 12:22 am
I’ve knit up the Curly Purly Soaker at least 5 times for baby gifts. I’ve made it in several different sizes & it has been appreciated by all recipients. I’m currently working on my second Rhonda’s Delight baby bib which is perfect to use the variegated cotton yarns – I’ve also knit several of her other bib patterns. (Notice a trend? I like to knit small things to give away!)
Elianna M. said,

I’ve knit Haruni (a shawl pattern) three times now. It’s an easy pattern (especially the beginning, really easy to take it around) and the effect is beautiful.
I also have made several sock patterns twice. The latest one I’ve made twice is Haleakala from Cookie A (should be released in February). I made matching socks for my husband and I.

I’m always enthusiastic about trying new patterns, so I don’t go back to old ones very often. I’ve made a couple of Clapotis-es, and that’s the only one that qualifies. (I may need another pair of Cookie A’s Monkey socks soon, though)
Julie said,
January 26, 2012 @ 12:37 am
I’m currently knitting my second Hitchhiker shawlette. It’s lots of garter stitch, but with enough variation to keep it interesting.
I’ve also knit Linda Welch’s Crow’s Feet socks twice, and I know I will knit them again in the future. It’s an easily memorized pattern, and they look spectacular.
JenL said,
January 26, 2012 @ 12:37 am
I have tackled Clapotis twice – once in Aran weight and once in skinny skinny sock yarn. I have knit a few Baby Berry Hats. And I’m fairly certain I will knit Boneyard again, possibly in the same color – it was in Blue Lobster Bugga, which is quite possibly the most perfect yarn color ever.
Rhona said,
January 26, 2012 @ 12:44 am
Ilove Cookie A’s Vilai sock pattern – I’ve made it 4 times (3 times as gifts). I’ve also made Romi Hill’s Maia twice. But the all time winner, I suppose is the Clapotis, mostly as gifts – 11 times in total!
Wanda said,
January 26, 2012 @ 12:55 am
The only pattern that I have knit multiple times is the Coat’s & Clark’s one skein cardigan and that was many years ago. i am thinking of making it into a pullover and increase the stitches and make one again.
Jardee said,
January 26, 2012 @ 12:56 am
According to Ravelry, I like to make the same things over and over. I’ve made the Garter Rib socks from Sensational Knitted Socks about 5 times, at least 3 each for the February Baby Sweater, the Monteagle Bag, and Monkey socks. And I can’t count how many crochet grocery bags I’ve made. Plus, I have a bunch of things I’ve done twice. I guess if the pattern works for you, make some more! Especially for socks – changing the yarn makes such a huge difference in the appearance and you can use a pattern you have memorized. That makes the project go by quickly!
Scarlet said,
January 26, 2012 @ 1:06 am
I’ve made three Open Waters shawls. The shoulder seam keeps it from sliding off without needing a shawl pin, but the opening (I have it on my right side, because I’m right-handed) gives you more freedom of movement.

I’ve only knit one pair so far, but I loved the Turkish Bed Socks by Churchmouse Yarns & Teas. They’re fast, they fit great, and they only take a small amount of yarn…one skein of Claudia Handpaints Fingering, for example. I can see them making great gifts! I love those Cloisenee Mitts too…may need to order a few skeins of Cascade here soon.

One pattern I’ve knit many times is the Monkey socks pattern. Usually I knit the no-purl toe-up variety. I also have the keychain sock blocker pattern memorized from making so many Christmas ornaments! I’ve also knit Ysolda’s Gretel a few times – love the cables.
Thanks for running the contest Sheri!

Hi Sheri!
I’ve made a few of Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Brioche Watch caps. I’ve also made several variations of EZ’s percentage sweaters. I’ve also made several of Wendy Johnson’s generic toe up socks with the slipped stitch heels. Those are really the only patterns that I’ve repeated.
I do tend to repeat on my designers though. My most repeated designers are Elizabeth Zimmermann, Ann Kingstone, and Wendy Johnson. They’re my three favorites.

I do a lot of knitting things twice because I have twin nieces that are 4. But those aren’t usually things I really want to make twice. I haven’t actually followed through on knitting any non-niece projects twice, but there are a number of things I’d like to knit again, including Daybreak. My last one was knit with a Noro yarn and a solid, and watching the colors come up … that was enough to keep me motivated and excited to see what happened next.

I’ve knit the Smocked Slouch hat by Jill Zielinsk (Kniterella) three times already & I’m sure I’ll knit it again. It is one of the most perfect hats I’ve ever had! Why I’ve knit so many already is that it looks great on everyone!! Every time a friend or family member sees mine & tries it on, they are in love & want their own. As a bonus for me – it is a quick & easy knit that looks much more involved that it is. I’ve done all of mine in Tosh Vintage and the results were amazing! Makes for a great gift.

Diane N. said,
January 26, 2012 @ 9:06 am
My 10th Curlicue blanket is on my needles! I bought this pattern when my niece was expecting her first baby in 2000. Something about it made me just keep knitting it over and over again. OF course, those were the days when I didn’t bother to take any pictures of them, so I have only my memories of knitting them for whichever occasion was at hand. I still love this pattern and work on it while I’m watching hockey games. It has just enough interest to let me coast until a commercial break when I have to pay attention to the pattern again!

The option to add beads to the tassles adds just the right amount of added sparkle to the project!

Fetching! I’ve made more than a dozen pairs. The pattern is so simple that it’s easy to adjust for what ever yarn you want to use. All have been gifts and I see the recipients wear them all of the time.
I’ve also made several pairs of Wendy Johnson’s Ribs and Cables Socks. Fit great!

I love the Faraway so close shawl. I made one for my SIL’s mother when she had cancer and almost a year later she passed away. Her husband now sleeps with it by his side every night. It is reason’s like those that I love knitting and how powerful it really is. I have since made one for myself and it really is a lovely shawl.
Oh and toast are also very fun and knit up quick. I have made several of those.
Seanna Lea said,

I’ve made about a half dozen Moustaches for Your Finger, which is a great project for scrap yarn (ideally dk weight). I’ve also made a couple of thongs for different bridal showers (someone needs to supply the embarassing gift). I’ve also made multiples of the Noro striped scarf (though only one of them was with Noro). My favorite multiple knit though is Odessa. It is relatively quick, warm and with the beads a good visual bang for the buck.

You know there are so many patterns to knit… I usually want to knit a different pattern. I have knit the simple ribbed socks from Nancy Bush’s Vintage Sock book several times.

I’ve also done the MasonDixon baby blanket a number of times…again…that 220 you just got in could make some fantastic ones!

I love to knit CoCo Knits Fear of Committment Cowl http://www.cocoknits.com/knit/garments/accessories/cocoknits_FOC_Cowl.pdf
It’s quick, perfect for lovely squishy yarn and always an appreciated gift.

Other than generic toe-up socks, it has been Anne Hanson’s cabled keyhole scarf that I just can’t get enough of. Four of them complete so far, and another on the needles…I have never been so completely taken by a pattern before.

I’m knitting the Dancing Diamond Socks again (originally a Loopy Ewe kit), this time in a green tone-on-tone Trecking. I just love the way they look, and they are one of my most comfortable pairs of socks to wear.
Knitting these again is quite a compliment to the designer – I very seldom repeat myself in socks.

The Noro Striped Scarf was addictive for me. I kept picking new colorways and being pleasantly surprised each time I made it — 5 times…..
Deb Holbrook said,

I’ve knit several Tulip cardigans for assorted babies (I love how it’s time to change the color just as I start to crave a change) and have knit more pairs of Fetching fingerless mitts than I can count (but I still haven’t managed to knit a pair for myself…I’ve gotta work on that!).
Gina in the San Francisco Bay Area said,
January 26, 2012 @ 11:18 am
I rarely knit a pattern more than once, but there are a couple of exceptions. I am constantly intrigued by the built-in color play in the Noro striped scarf and my good or bad color choices while making Zimmermann’s Baby Surprise Jacket, and I have made several of each. They also look so pretty stacked up waiting to be gifted.
Castiron said,
January 26, 2012 @ 11:29 am
I have two favorites that I’ve made multiple times and will probably make again:
Bev Galeskas’s Felted Clogs — it’s not mindless knitting, but it works up quickly and makes a great gift.
Leslie Lewis’s Old Fashioned String Bag — the best mesh market bag pattern I’ve ever found. When I made my first one, I thought it was going to be too small, and then I started using it and found no, it’s exactly right.

I’ve knit all of these more than once, as they are great in almost all yarn weights and are easy to make larger or smaller:
Multnomah (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/multnomah)
One Row Handspun Scarf (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/one-row-handspun-scarf)
Pogona (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pogona)

I made the Soltice Scarf from the latest issue of Interweave Knits Accessories, and it was a huge (six foot long!) success both from my daughter who wore it, and from me. I used a bulky 100% wool to create it, and have already set aside two different yarns to create at least two more of these scarves. What made it especially fun was that it looks like a cabled design, and yet isn’t, plus for all its length, it was a pretty fast knit.
Laura K. said,
January 26, 2012 @ 12:05 pm
I’ve only knit two things twice… the Shale Pleated Scarf, and the Owlie Sleep Sack.
However, I do have a second Stripe Study planned, and a bucket of yarn (several different types and colors) because it would “make a great Claptois”.. I’ve got at least 3 or 4 more of those in me
Oh, I’ve done the Round or Pinwheel Baby blanket twice too… and I love it.. it’s totally my go-to baby blanket pick.

I’m knitting Jared Flood’s Romney Kerchief for the second time from Madtosh DK, trying to figure out how to work in two colors rather than the one. I knit the first one for my grandmother for Mother’s Day last year. She passed away in August, and I haven’t managed to ask my cousins for the scarf back, so I’m making a new one to remind me of her.
Bernie said,

I’ve knitted a lot of simple baby blankets for family and friends.
The border is straight knit for about 7 rows. (End pattern before the 7 rows of straight knit to finish). Continue with the border pattern on both sides and knit one row, purl the next, ending with the 7 rows for the ending border. Hope you like it.

I’ve knit Dashing from Knitty several times. All the guys I know always want fingerless mitts, and they have always loved their Dashings. There’s something about the simplicity of the pattern that I love. It always looks great, and it’s always an easy knit.
Sandy said,
January 26, 2012 @ 12:50 pm
I’ve lost track of how many Baby Surprise Jackets I’ve made over the years. Every baby I hear of seems to get one. I’ve also made more than a couple pairs of Monkey socks, and since my hands are always cold Anne Budd’s super-simple fingerless mitts from Weekend Knitting.

I am a new ‘knitter’ (using that term loosely), so the Avery Cowl was a great one for me over Christmas. The pattern was easy to follow and remember, so it was a gift that was gifted many times in 2011.
Eileen said,

There aren’t too many things I have knit more than once, but there are 3 hats I definitely plan to make more of (I’ve made one of each so far) – the Twistygoo by Lisa Beamer, the Carson Cap by Carol Bristol, and Thorpe by Kristin Kapur. I also plan to make my daughter more Aaryn shrugs (by Julie Kieliszewski). I enjoyed all these patterns, both knitting them and the end result, enough to make multiples.

Well – first of all is a pattern for baby booties from a very old knitting booklet that I’ve had for years and years. I bet I’ve made over a hundred pairs. (I even sold them for a while). More recently though, I’ve made Wendy Johnson’s “Autumn Dream Scarf” 3 times already and have cast on for a 4th. Just LOVE that pattern.

I love One Row Lace Scarf by Turvid. It’s an easy knit which is great when I’m talking with friends. The result is great no matter what yarn I use. I’ve made some gifts from this pattern and they are always well received.

I originally made my Whipporwill for last summer’s Camp Loopy first project. Unfortunately I totally missed the deadline. But I loved making it. Once my grammy saw the shawl she immediately wanted one. And being a good granddaughter I knit one up for her in no time. I plan on making another one here soon. I just love the pattern and how it looks when blocked.
Right now I am working on Wandering Mor and know after this one I will definitely make another. Love it.
Sue Apple said,

I have several favorite patterns that I have knit more than once. Mom’s Cabled Mitts, Clapotis, Monkey Socks, Ann Budd’s Basic Sock Pattern, Mara shawl. Does the darling hexipuff for the Beekeepers Quilt count – I’m currently at 129 of those little darlings. I guess that makes me more of a production knitter, than a process knitter. I’m happy knitting something simple when the yarn proves interesting enough to keep me entertained to finish the project.

I love Fetching by Cheryl Niamath (Knitty, Summer 2006). I’ve completed three pairs of these, all for other people because they don’t fit me quite right. I have a fourth pair on the needles where I’m fiddling with the length after the thumb so they work for me!

I have made the Age of Brass and Steam shawl/hankerchef twice once out of wool, really soft wool and once out of Kollage Riveting (Camp Loopy Project 2). I also have made two pairs of cotton socks (my first socks!) using a very simple pattern I got from TLE. This past Christmas I made 16 neckwarmers/cowls using a pattern from IrishGirlieKnits called Seamus Cowl. There are a lot of snow skiers (downhill and cross country) in the family. These were just for the girls in the family plus a few friends. The guys will get something next year! I can’t knit for everybody in one year or else I would not have time to knit for me!

Monkey socks. Not surprising, and probably many people will have the same answer, but I think I’ve made about 6 pairs now. There’s something so pleasing about the pattern, it looks great in all yarn colors, and they are just so cozy to wear. Ah, monkeys, I love you. Also they remind me of the Monkees.
Kiki said,
January 26, 2012 @ 5:55 pm
I agree with those that have said Monkey socks.
I’m too new a knitter to have had much of a chance to repeat patterns, but Monkeys are one of only three patterns as market “awesome, must make again”.
The other two are Hermione’s Everyday Socks, and the Vine Leaves Beret (mainly because people keep trying to steal mine!)
Doris said,

Then the doily dishrag that is made for absolutely everything I need a special little something for someone. Made one the beginning of the week and another one now as gifts. I’ve also knot the Owen hat and Alish hat by Tabitha’s Heart several times. I’ve knit quite a few of her patterns at least once but a second one in most of the patterns would be knit again in a heartbeat.

It’s a funny pattern, making one long strip of chevrons that then get sewn up. But the end result is great.

I just knit the Jeweled Cowl by Sachiko Uemura twice in the past month and a half. It’s the 1st time I’ve ever repeated a pattern. Such a great knit with or without the beading.

I have knit Suzie’s Reading Mitts twice with the Sanguine Gryphon’s Free Range worsted. I have also knit the Noro Striped Scarf twice with Noro Silk Garden.
Both patterns are easy to memorize and fun to knit.

Goodness == 600+ comments!! Wow!
I’ve knit EZ’s top down raglan sweaters a “ga-zillion” time (at least 8), mostly for my children and nieces and nephews when they were all small. These “kids” are all now 20+ years old, but my daughter loves that we put “her” sweater, made when she was 2, on a Christmas bear every year!

I have 2 things I make over and over because I am:
1.obsessed
2. trying to nail down the patterns so I can copy them forever and ever into my knitting journal
3. crazy about how they turn out.
One is a simple sock pattern with a ribbed cuff because I love ribbed cuff socks (always have since childhood. Now that I can make my own I am so happy)
The other is what I call the drop-stitch scarf. Get a long circ in a pretty big size. Get a nice big ball of sock yarn with long repeats (or not, this is stress free). Cast on enough stitches to make a scarf length (80 to 120 for me). Knit a couple rows. When a major color change is coming (or not), do a row of drop stitches. Knit some more, then drop stitch row at will. Cast off when you have a wide enough scarf OR when the yarn runs out. I find Noro sock yarn makes an amazing scarf with vertical stripes running through. The drop stitch row emphasizes the color change. Other bonuses: you get done before it gets boring AND the knit is loose enough that it drapes well and is not hot.

I don’t repeat patterns too often, but there are two exceptions. One is a 2×2 rib sock based off of Charlene Schurch’s sock patterns that I’ve custom-fit for my DH. The other is Anne Hanson’s La Novia pattern, which I love love love AND adore! It’s pretty simple, quick, gorgeous, and has done wonders on my variegated yarns!
Mary said,
January 26, 2012 @ 11:09 pm
I have knitted two Damask shawls and given both as gifts. Also knitted twice has been the 58 row scarf with my own modifications, more are planned. And I currently have my second Girasole on the needles. I never used to knit the same thing more than once but recently that has changed.

Lisa (in BC) said,

I love that scarf! It shows up the variegated yarn so well. Must remember that.
I seem to have a short attention span and am always attracted by new things. That said, the Owl Coffee Cup Cozy gets attention and is a popular gift item. As a quick knit, that works out really well!

I have knit the Cheyenne Diamond Lace Cardigan twice and would do it again if it weren’t for so many other thing to knit. The first was in a hand painted yarn and the second was in an off-white and both show off the lace pattern and I love the fit.

I’m more of a process knitter than a product knitter, so I’ve never knit one pattern more than once!
But given the time, I would REALLY like to knit Traipsing Vines Wrap again (my own pattern, and this time for myself!) and Aviatrix in the adult size. Both are surprisingly quick knits with lovely results.

As Queen of the Pre-Process Knitters, I’m usually better at planning projects than actually knitting them! That said, I’ve knit Georgie Hallam’s Milo three times, and Nina Machlin Dayton’s Dean Street Hat twice.
Joan said,
January 27, 2012 @ 2:48 am
I have a very low threshold of boredom, so it is rare for me to knit the same thing twice. But when my mother saw my Rivolo scarf (by the marvelous Anne Hanson) she absolutely had to have one. And I didn’t even mind because it is such a rhythmic, intuitive knit– using Dream in Color Baby made it even more enjoyable!
catherine said,
January 27, 2012 @ 3:03 am
Although I have made 6 clapotis shawls (I keep giving them away, and I finally lost the last one), I absolutely love knitting Mona Schmidt’s “Embossed Leaves” socks, as well as Meg Swansen’s “Arch-Shaped Socks.”

My favourite baby standby is the Opal Yarn Baby Caridgan (simple sideways knit), teamed with a Baby Octagonal Hat from a Patons/Guardian Angel booklet and the Ruffle Ribbed Better-than Booties Baby Socks by Ann Budd. I’ve made three sets for 3 newborns within 6 months; phew! Still, I love them

Sheri,
I love the pattern, Fuzzy Feet, that is on Knitty (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter02/PATTfuzzyfeet.html). It was all the rage when it came out (wow! 2002? I started knitting in 2003; guess I was a new knitter obsessed with this pattern), but I still like them for house socks. At the same time as they came out, I had discovered Noro Kureyon. A perfect match! The only warning to you all is that the lighter colors don’t do as well fulling (felting). I could still see the stitch definition no matter how hard I tried to agitate in hot water and shock with cold water.
Thanks for the contest!

There are so many patterns that I want to knit that I really haven’t knit anything more than once, except the French Press Slippers I made as gifts the Christmas before last. Although, I did make a Cladonia for my sister during Camp Loopy and I could easily see making another one for myself with all these fantastic new yarns coming in.
Congrats on the new opening too!

So many favorite patterns! I got hooked on the Noro Striped Scarf – I have several of those. I love the play of the Noro colors. Also the StowAway Shopping Bag by Oat Couture is a fav – I make those every year for my son’s teacher gift as well as any other time I need a quick gift. Super fun and easy to knit. Then my “go to” is always the Amanda Hat, again – quick and makes a great gift. Good luck on the Grand Opening – I am still trying to find a reason to get to Colorado now. (Oh why does work only send me to Hawaii???)

My all time favorite pattern is Newsboy Hat Hannah by Heidi Hennessy. I am working on my 10th one now. It knits up quick, you can do a couple different bands and they make great gifts! I am making a second one for someone as she had lost the first one and was really upset because it is her favorite. She found it but wants another one in a different color now.

My go to pattern for socks is the good ol’ basic 2 x 2 rib, toe-up with slipped stitch heel. I love the way the socks look and feel and I don’t have to have a paper pattern to fiddle with. I can knit and talk or watch TV or just relax and not have to think about it! I also love Stephen West’s Colonnade and Little Colonnade and have knitted that pattern several times as well!

One of my first knitting projects, after returning to knitting after a 20yr hiatus was the Waving Chevron Scarf by Lee Meredith – I made it for a friend and another friend saw it and requested one in different colours. And then I made it yet another 2 times for gifts – the pattern return is fun, you can play with colour and its quite impressive though it doesn’t require advanced skills. Plus it works for men, women & children

I have knitter’s ADD so I very rarely make the same pattern twice. Hats, however, are the exception. A couple of my favorites are An Unoriginal Hat (have made 6 or 7) and Autumn (have made 5 or 6). No matter what yarn you use, they look fab!!
Beth said,
January 27, 2012 @ 7:03 am
I have a sock pattern that I must have knit a dozen times. It’s an “original” plain sock that I can make more interesting with simple knit/purl stitch patterns. I keep going back to it because I have it memorized, so I don’t have to worry about keeping track of the pattern!

My favorite pattern so far is the Irish hiking scarf on ravelry, I’ve made it a neckwarmer with buttons and it’s just lovely to knit & wear. I’ve made 2 so far but will definately be making more. I’m also loving the sockhead hat on ravelry as well, such a fun, funky hat to make! I’ve done 2 so far & the third one is in progress!

I LOVE love the Feather and Fan Hat (C181) by Betty P Balcomb and Cascade. It is beautiful in chunky alpaca, or I just add stitches for finer yarn. I’ve made it for adults and children, with and without garter ridges. My favorite go-to hat for women! (Free pattern, too!)

I’ve made Citron three times. I loved my Ravelry Red Malabrigo lace one so much that I bought Taureg and did a KAL with two of my co-workers. (All the yarn was from TLE too!) One of my pals is a new knitter and got tired of knitting after the first section, so I finished it for her. As a thank-you, she got me a gift certificate to TLE! I wasn’t expecting anything in return, but her gesture was definitely appreciated!

Have lots of “go-to’s”, but the all time favorite has to be the Pearl-barred Scallop Scarf pattern – designed by Cheri Borden and free from Ravelry.

My multi-project pattern is Saroyan. I’ve knit so many of these as gifts and one for myself. I used this pattern recently for a holiday gift in Madeline Tosh Pashmina and it was so beautiful – soft, drapey, and with vibrant deep colour! I love the Saroyan pattern because its easy and fast, yet it can be adapted in all kinds of ways: I made it into a shawl, a long garter stitch scarf, and a short collar. ALL the yarns at my beloved Loopy Ewe look great in the Saroyan Pattern!

My go to pattern is Stephanie’s one row scarf. I use that one all the time. My other favorite pattern is Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Pi Shawl. I almost always have one going, some are shawls, some are lap blankets but know that the zen of such an easy knit is available to me is my solace at times.

I must say that when I do a project, I usually try to complete that one before starting another, so I make sure the first project gets completed. At the present time, I finished two small scarves and haven’t started anything else just yet. I have some yarn for a few projects as most knitters do. I’ve been trying to find another project that is more interesting than just a scarf or dishcloth! lol! I’m thinking it’s time for me to try my first pair of socks.
Hope all is going well with you and your family. Thanks for all you do!

This year almost everyone received “Susie’s Reading Mitts” for Christmas. Great pattern, now I just have to finish a pair for myself! Each pair was done in Cascade 220.
Just wish I could be there!
Wishing you much success on your Grand Opening

I’ve knitted pumpkin hats from Itty Bitty Hats for all my grandchildren. I have 6 grandkids now, and when friends or family see the hats, I have to make more for their needs.. I imagine I’ve made probably 20 or more of these!
I love shopping at your store and maybe one day I’ll make it to the “real” store! Congrats to you all on your Grand Opening.

I adore the Cowl’d and Frosty Cowl pattern in either bulky or worsted weight. I have even added beads to them for a flash of color. Good luck with the Open House!! Glad you are here in Colorado.

Hope I get chosen for this door prize!!
Keep up the good work LE!!

There are two patterns I use over and over. They both have easy to remember stitch patterns and I have knit both with commercial as well as my own hand spun yarn.
The first is Morris by Susan Mills. It’s a scarf with cute ruffles on either side.
The other is a hat and cowl set by Bonne Burns of Chicknits fame. Her design is He Said She Said.
I have several of these myself and I love them. The ones I have made for gifts have made their recipients very very happy!!

I am on my third (!) live oak shawl, after I made one for my well deserving mom
I had to have one for myself- it was my first time with madelinetosh light, and it’s so soft and gorgeous once it’s blocked I couldnt even imagine and now I’ve got one going for my favorite aunt. I have to make a trip to the ‘real’ store someday, I don’t know what’s more exciting the little loopy plush or the wollmeise (and coffee mug-my 3 favorite things in one package)
Nancy said,

I can’t think of a pattern I’ve made more than once. Always knitting, mostly socks, but sweaters and shawls are favorites, too. But after reading these posts, I’m off to Ravelry to get some more patterns!
Lynn said,
January 27, 2012 @ 8:27 am
I wish that I could attend the open house, but I am in IL. A pattern that I have enjoyed several times is the multi-directional scarf. I have done it in some amazing yarns. However, I don’t own the scarf. They ended up as gifts.
Natasha said,
January 27, 2012 @ 8:28 am
The pattern I’ve enjoyed most and will knit again and again is the Baby Surprise Jacket. Interesting without being complicated, and cute as a button when it’s done!

I have made the Clapotis shawl X3 (Knitty) and the Pie Wedge Shawl X3. Just love how different they are in different weights!

There are a few patterns that I have had so much fun knitting – Cascade baby sweater (I have made 4) is just adorable and so much fun. Easy fingerless gloves just fly off my needles and everyone loves getting a pair. I also love many of Susan B.Anderson’s Toys and her flying pig and frog have been a big hit in my family.
Thank you for this generous contest.

I have made a couple of 198 Yards of Heaven – both for gifts. And I have knitted one pair of Monkey but hope to make another. I am sure there are others that I am just not thinking of right now as well. Then of course, just plain ol’ vanilla socks – honestly, one of my favorites!
Happy Opening!
Jane said,

I have knit 3 pairs of monkey socks. I also have a half dozen pairs of plain socks, but that is not really a pattern. My go to scarf is one from the yarn harlot. I have it on an index card and whenever I am bored, start a new scarf like that. It never gets boring and a lot of my friends and family have a scarf like that now!
happy Grand Opening!

One of my favorites is the Simple Yet Effective Shawl. Stripey, with nice texture, but all simple enough for a newbie to knit in front of the TV. As much as I want to try some new patterns, this one is really fun for using striping and variegated yarns. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/simple-yet-effective-shawl-fingering-weight

I’ve made lots of the Monkey Socks by Cookie A. I love them! They usually go fast unless you’re knitting for someone with boat feet!
I also have made quite a few of the Little Lillie baby sweater by Carol Anderson.
If you want to see, go to my Ravelry page (Glindale). There are lots of both on there. LOL
Congrats on your new shop.

I don’t often knit a pattern more than once yet there are a few. My personal vanilla boot sock in doubled fingering gets a lot of work out. And the one that is becoming a standby for babies is Twist Hat by Melissa J. Goodale, The Twist Hat allows me to introduce variables and is a good use of skein remnants.
Katy H said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:02 am
Let’s see, Monkey Socks, Charade Socks and now the Hitchhiker scarflette…and my most favorite pattern ever, the Yarn Harlot’s One Row Scarf. It’s my go to pattern for a scarf and some comfort knitting.
Carol Drummond said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:03 am
Saroyan (for scarves), Mara (for shawls) & Pine Forest Blanket (for baby blankets!) All have a little something extra going on, but don’t require a huge amount of attention, making them perfect for a stressed out customer service rep to knit after work & on lunch/break!

I have knit Cookie A’s Wanida socks twice. And I’m now knitting a pair of Scroll Lace socks for the second time. Using the same pattern twice is a rarity for me! I love a new sock pattern (can you tell I love knitting socks!?).
Meg said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:10 am
I love the Wedge scarf designed by Nora Gaughan which uses about 630yards of DK. It can easily be adjusted for various yarn weights and it looks fabulous in varigated yarns as well as the solids. The short row wedges make it fly along, and it is simple enough to knit in a group while gabbiing. What more could ya ask for! I always get compliments when I wear mine. I’m off to find a copy of the book and try Wendy’s Lace Scarf–looks great!
Shelda said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:10 am
The pattern I’ve knit more than any other has to be the FiberTrends felted clogs. I’ve probably made 2 dozen pair over the years. Fun question, and I like that scarf!

Deb Burger said,

Recently I’ve knitted multiples of two projects… one is for fun; the other utilitarian. I’ve made 2 of the Bandana Cowl by Pearl Soho, and will probably make more. It’s such a fun knit and a fun garment. The short row construction keeps it from being boring. I’ve also just finished my 4th pair of Greenway Diaper Cover and Longies
by Thomasina McIntyre for my youngest granddaughter’s wardrobe. Her mommy (my dd) chose the pattern from all the soakers listed in Ravelry, but I haven’t minded making multiples, as the pattern is well-written and the construction interesting.

I’ve actually done quite a few patterns more than once–peasy cardi twice and a chris bylsma drop stitch sweater twice, but I have a favorite shawl pattern that I’ve given as a gift several times—think I’ve made that one four times now!!! And of course, baby hats—oodles of times!
Dawn'l Burns said,

Susie’s Reading Mitts is my most often repeated pattern, everyone loves them, but I know that the Yarn Harlot’s Cloisonee is going to be right up there as well. Already stocked up on Cascade 220 to do multiple variations for next year’s Christmass gifts.

Thanks to blogs by Denise R and Judy L, I’ve just recently gotten back into knitting, with you! The scarf I made for Camp Loopy, that loops through itself, would have to be the thing I’ve made the most, other than baby blankets. My 3 kids each had that scarf growing up. I’m just starting to knit socks, so maybe a favorite will come up there. I hope to knit some socks for Christmas presents for next year.
Carol said,

I’ve knit 3 Citron shawls and was quite surprised each time I decided to do another one. #1 is silk/Merino, #2 is cashmere and #3 is mohair/silk held with superfine Merino yarn. Two were knit on long car trips so that might be what keeps me wanting/knitting more.
Also knit a swirl sweater and couldn’t resist starting exactly the same pattern with a different color of yarn. I love it.

Christine said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:24 am
With so many wonderful patterns to choose from on Ravelry, it is not often that I knit a pattern twice, however there have been a few outstanding exceptions to this:
Socks: Papillotes by Rosehiver
Shawl: Cherry Surprise by Preita Salyer
Scarf: Three Sisters Scarf #Two by Monika Steinbauer (I am currently knitting this one and there is no doubt that it will be going back into my queue for its simplicity and beauty.)
Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the contest!

I am currently knitting my third Lion Neck Cardigan (again, this one is for my daughter – to replace one she grew out of).

I’ve knit a sweater of my own design (Multi-directional sweater) twice plus another time which was the prototype which got refined into the final one. I love knitting it in very different yarns and seeing how differently they turn out.
Connie said,

There are a few items that I have made several times and I never seem to tire of them.
The most recent items have been:
Basketweave Infinity Cowl
Guernsey Wrap
Weekend Shawl
Any Fair Isle or Guernsey Sweater
My own design Blankets
I use many different fibers in all of these; some of my favorites are Berroco, Cascade 220, wollmeise, dragonfly fibers and Noro. I knit constantly and use many many different yarns and am always up to try a new one.
Jan Walsworth said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:29 am
My newest favorite repeat pattern is MY OWN BASIC SOCK
I’ve struggled for years to find a basic sock pattern using only the methods I like doing, easily sized up and down, and easy to add pattern – or not. With Cat Bordhi’s Sweet Tomato Hell I’ve finally put it all together. Toe up socks with a Turkish Heel, ribbed instep if there is any question about fit, STHeel, choice of leg, EZ Sewn bind off. One of the pair I have on the needles right now is some lovely Mountain Colors my sister bought for me off you site!
Lisa Arvin said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:38 am
I’ve made two Honey Cowls and I’m ready to knit another. Love that Plaid Blanket! I’ve knit two Citron, two Melody Shawls and need to make another Mara shawl! It’s my favorite shawl to throw on. I made it large and it’s so snuggly!
Susan said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:39 am
My favorite pattern (patterns) is from an old Norwegian Sweater Patterns book I was handed down from a friend. I have made most of the patterns in the book and actually learned to knit my first sweater using this book (I later took a few knitting lessons which made a world of difference). I have made the reindeer, hearts and various other patterns often. Now I do mostly socks and smaller projects but just thinking about this makes me want to get back to this book. Hmmmmm.
Shilo Artis said,

I’ve knit Cookie A’s Monkey socks a couple times and really enjoy that pattern, but the one pattern I seem to knit over and over again for gifts is the Fetching fingerless mitts by Cheryl Niamath. I love giving these little mitts for gifts, but have yet to make a pair for myself!
Peggy Mowry said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:46 am
My favorite repeat pattern is Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Baby Surprise Jacket. The construction of this jacket is fascinating and fun to knit. There are good tips on Ravelry for adding a collar and cuffs. Everyone should try one to experience the genius that is EZ!
Lara said,

Lynne D said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:49 am
I just cast on last night for my second Baby Yours sweater – both of them done in Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere from The Loopy Ewe. LOVE that yarn. Love the pattern, too – it looks more difficult than it is, and makes a lovely (perhaps even heirloom) baby gift. I’ve also knit 11 pairs of Fetching mitts – that’s my go-to pattern for quick, last-minute gifts.
Valaree Hemighaus said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:51 am
Stephanie Purl-McPhee’s “One-Row Scarf”. I find it easy enough to bring with me to movies, meetings, etc and yet still fascinated with the brilliant simplicity of the pattern; and it looks great in solids or self-striping yarns. I’ve knit many – but not one for myself yet.
Heather said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:51 am
I’ve lost count of how many Fetchings I’ve made, and I’ve still got plans to make more. They’re perfect for those 4oz skeins of handspun! I’ve also made several of the Brooklyn Tweed Noro stripe scarves, as watching the colour change as you knit is pretty addictive. There’s several simple, basic sock stitch patterns that I’ve done over & over again, too, on top of my basic sock pattern. I haven’t knit a pair of socks in a shamefully long time though, I’m sorry to say.
Layniez said,

Wise Hilda’s Basic Sock pattern from Ravelry! Very well written, easy to understand and just a good all-around sock pattern that seems to fit feet of all shapes!

A tough choice–I have several favorites! Let’s see; Wurm (3 times); Lacy Baktus–which reminds me so much of the scarf you’ve just finished! (3 times); and Amanda hat (3 times–and I’ve had fun modifying it as I go).

I’ve made multiples of the tiny chicken in Teeny Tiny MochiMochi. I’ve also made lots of her bunnies and snowmen patterns. As far as the big patterns, I’m planning on making another Top Down Hooded Tunic for Women by Diane Soucy. I’ve finished one and looking forward to starting another, maybe with the addition of some cables.

I have knit 3 Multnomah shawls and 4 Turn A Square hats and 2 Monkey Socks. I think these 3 patterns are my favorite go to patterns. I’m not tired of them at all and have plans for all of them in the future and I’m normally a process knitter.
Congrats on your move to Colorado. Your only about 1500 miles away from me now! I hope to visit your store in person some day.

Stacey B said,
January 27, 2012 @ 10:12 am
I’ve not made a pattern twice because of loving it, but because I needed to make another for someone else. Hug & Stitches Booties, Mobile mittens, and Rowan Hat with attached scarf and tassels at end.
I might make a 2nd Kai-Mei sock for myself since first went to mother-in-law.
Jenny said,

I’ve made Priscilla’s Dream Socks many times. That copy of Interweave Knits is tattered. I now have an addiction to plain vanilla top down socks with afterthought heels. I like that it’s brainless and I can take it anywhere.
Elaine F said,
January 27, 2012 @ 10:15 am
I knit a lot of socks. Some are repeats and some are not. I like the very simple ones like knit 2 pearl 2 on the top. They seem to fit the best. I use multpy colored yarn and that gives the design.

I have knit the Shaelyn Shawl by Leila Raabe so many times that I no longer need the pattern! It has to be one of my favorites and it can be worked up in different yarn weights so that changes things up a bit. As for all the others, I’ve worked several patterns twice, my favorites being the Levenwick cardigan by Gudrun Johnston (worked two, back to back), Artichoke Socks by Megan Humphrey and the Holden Shawlette by Mindy Wilkes. This is an amazing giveaway, WOWOWOW WOOOOOO!

Honestly, I don’t often knit the exact same pattern twice – too many things to knit! Only once have I done a duplicate, it was a Seamless Baby Kimono (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/seamless-baby-kimono) that I made for some newborn twins.
Even my plains socks have all been done slightly differently, trying out different approaches to the heel, increasing for the gusset. Once I find a plain sock pattern that really clicks with me I’ll probably use it over and over.

I have knit “Malabrigo Loafers” 4 times now for family members’ feet (including my own, i Love them!) Even tho I have Hundreds of patterns waiting to be done, I still plan on making more…since these house shoes will wear out being worn every day (even in Rios with Lamb’s Pride soles) I will have to plan at least a biennial replacement knitting binge! Luckily they don’t take very long at all.

The only thing I have made more than once was the scarves made out of fluffy or ladder yarn (sometimes both) that were in a few years ago. Made on very large needles, they were an extremely fast knit. My husband called them one soccer game scarves because I could make one while watching my daughter play a game.
In general, I hate making anything more than once which is why I hat cleaning, no matter how good a job I do, I have to do it again, sometimes in the same day!

I love knitting my version of the Palindrome scarf – it’s completely reversible and so lovely. I’ve knit it at least 4 times already and I have another on the needles now. I like to knit it with Fiesta Ballet because the weight of the yarn and the softness of the alpaca creates a really gorgeous scarf!
Happy opening day!

I’ve knit 3 pairs of Simplicity socks from Melissa Morgan-Oakes Two-at-a-Time-Toe-Up Socks book. They’re just a simple 2×2 rib with a gusset and eye of partrich heel flap, but when a sweater or shawl is my complicated projected, I need my socks to be my easy project. These socks always fit perfectly since the ribbing just about molds to the foot and the gusset is so predictable. I made 1 pair for me, 1 for my dad and 1 for my brother. My dad and brother’s versions are in Baltimore Ravens purple (they’re season ticket holders). I think my nephew would like a pair as well.

I would definitely make more of the Spiralucious cowls by Anne Hanson. I love mine so much and it stays where you put it without constant adjustment. I woud also make another Skewed Shawl by Erika Flory, and one of my fave sock patterns is a free one from Wendy Johnson – Toe up Socks with a Difference.

I even modded the pattern just a bit so that it is very much like the hat Jean Reno wears in the movie “Leon, The Professional” My latest version was in some ShiBuiKnits Baby Alpaca DK. He says it’s the softest hat he’s ever had

One of my favorite patterns is the Hitchhiker scarf by Martina Behm. I’ve knitted it in several different yarn weights and finished lengths. Right now I’m knitting one in Handmaiden Casbah Sock in Safari Light, a recent Loopy purchase.
It’s a great pattern for a beginning knitter, and knits up fast for the experience knitter. Leftover bits of yarn from other projects can be used together to make a pretty striped version. Whether solid or multi, sock or lace, I always love knitting a Hitchhiker.
Congratulations Sheri on your Grand Opening!

I’m a sock knitter and sometimes a pattern just has to be made several times because you actually find one that works well with a variety of sock yarn. Recently that was the Riff sock pattern by Lise Brackbill for me.

My go-to pattern for Christmas gifts has been the Duffer’s slipper pattern (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/duffers—revisited). They are easy to crank out & with all the different Cascade colors, no two ever need to be the same color scheme!
My glutton for punishment pattern is to make a long-scrappy style simple garter stitch scarf. Changing the colors sporadically makes the 10ft go by so quickly!
Robyn said,

Shetland Trader’s Norie hat – so cute and the lace panel is fun to knit. Churchmouse Turkish Bed Socks – they fit everyone and are the fastest way to knit a sock on the planet. Jared Flood Turn a Square hats. All are great gifts.
For myself, I keep playing with Ann Weaver’s Transverse Cardigan, which is not her most popular pattern on Ravelry but it works for me! I guess it just fits my lifestyle and is easy and fun to modify.

I do tend to perseverate on certain patterns.

This is going to seem so silly, but there is a pattern I have knit more than one, two or even five times. It is a little Christmas Tree Ornament designed by Susan B.

Now that I’m under the gun, I can’t remember the name of my favorite sock pattern, which I’ve knitted several times! It’s from Favorite Socks from Interweave. It’s a pattern of alternating ribbing: knit 3, purl one, knit one, purl one. After 8 rounds, you decrese the three knit stitches to one, and increase the one knit stitch between purls to three. Terrifically stretchy, but a bit more interesting than plain ribbing. Lots of fun to do, and very fast. Drat, wish I could remember the name. My other favorite pattern, knitted dozens of times, is from Robin Hansen’s Fox and Geese and Fences (now oop), and reprinted in her more recent Favorite Mittens book. It’s the Flying Geese gloves. The finished project is stunning. You can do it in high contrast (black and white or grey and white are traditional), or in brilliant colors (orange and yellow, or orange and red!), or anything you like. The gloves are warm and resilient. Those two patterns are really beloved.

So far, the only patterns I’ve made more than once are the Turn-a-Square hat and the monkey socks. But there are quite a few I’d LIKE to make again: Summer Wind by Irishgirlie knits, (such a great pattern for virtually any skein of sock yarn) the Baby Chalice Blanket, In Threes: A Baby Cardigan (super quick and super cute) and I’d really like to make another Multnomah sometime.
Melissa said,

I’ve knit Hermione’s Everyday sock by Erica Lueder twice, and will probably knit it a few more times! It’s a nice, easy pattern and makes great TV knitting. Plus, my kids are begging for hand knit socks, and since they grow so fast I need something I can get done QUICK! I’m thinking of knitting Pointelle by Cookie A. again. Everytime those socks are clean, I grab them to wear over all my other pairs. It was a more complicated pattern, but so worth it!
PaulaSL said,

What an great blog topic–I want to check out everything that’s been mentioned! As for me, I’m currently finishing up another Honey Cowl (so versatile, so many sizes and widths that each one is quite different), Clapotis (of course), and EZ’s Baby Surprise Jacket (I had an overwhelming, absolutely compelling urge to make this and ordered the pattern though I had no one to make it for. Two days after the pattern arrived I learned that I had a great-niece or -nephew on the way. My great-niece now has two with more to come as she grows.) More go-to knits: Toasty fingerless mitts, and the marvelously squishy Misti Chunky Ribs & Ruffles scarf.

I find baby hats to be a quick distraction from my larger projects. I’ve knit both the Baby Boy and the Baby Girl versions of the Beany Hat by Louisa Harding from Natural Knits for Babies and Moms. This pattern is so easy to customize with strips, edgings, or embroidery that you can truly make a unique piece for each baby in just a couple of days.

I don’t often knit things more than once, because I get bored too easily. As a new knitter, I knit several Booga Bags and a couple Clapotis shawls. Since then, the one thing I know I’ve knit repeatedly has been mostly by request for the new babies in my life. I knit the Cupcake Hat I found at http://www.xoxosylvia.com/2009/07/knit-cupcake-hat-pattern.html. I alter it a bit by using DK or worsted yarn and making shorter bobbles for the frosting, but I basically follow the rest of the pattern. I’ve made 4 of these for babies, plus one for a toddler so far. They’re always a big hit!

As many commented before, there are so many multiple knits for me. This growing list reminds me of many of them, and now I see other patterns I cannot wait to check out.
I have repeated dozens, some of them: multnomah, noro striped scarf, susie’s reading mitts, jaywalkers, SARCA (Solid and reversible college afghan), thermis, calorimetry,commuter fingerless mitts, fetchings, clapotis, thorpe, holden shawlette,

I loved making the Chimera fingerless mitts by Laris and will make those again at least once. I also just finished her Knotty Gloves and they flew by as soon as I stopped panicking that I was knitting gloves so I suspect I will make those again. I certainly enjoyed them enough to make them again. I made two pairs of Anne Hanson’s Fallberry Mitts and will make yet another I suspect before too long. And I’ve made 3 pairs of Maine Morning Mitts and will have to make another because I still haven’t a set for myself. They are a quick fun knit. In socks, Nornir was a Sock Madness pattern and while it seemed to go on forever (it’s a slip stitch pattern so it does take more rounds to get somewhere but it was super easy to knit), it was a really fun knit and it makes the yummiest squishiest pair of socks I want to knit it again at least one more time. I also loved the Sock Madness pattern for Zombie socks and plan to make a second pair of those. I am also working on a pair of socks in the Bodice Rippers pattern which I am finding fun enough that I am tempted to make a second pair. I made a Spring Things shawl years ago and want to make another someday. I have so many patterns I want to knit that not too many make it into to the “repeat performance” category.

My answers are so typical that I’m almost embarrassed to tell them
Monkey socks (3 pair)
Clapotis (4)
There is a reason they are both popular – they are fast & easy & the FO is fabulous.

I’ve enjoyed many patterns enough to consider knitting them again, but here are the ones I actually have knit at least twice:
Ten Stitch Blanket (1 FO, 1 WIP)
Man Hat (3)
Lacy Baktus (2)
Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf (2)
Linen Stitch Scarflet (as a scarf) (2)
Latitude and Longitude Scarf (2)
Simply City shawl (2)
That’s more than I thought it would be! (Ravelry is so great for keeping track of projects).

I have knit at least 3 that I can recall and every time a friend has a new baby, they get one.

I love Wendy Johnson’s Dead Simple Lace Socks. I made a pair for my mother and have plans to cast on the same pattern for myself in the near future. They really are simple- I memorized the pattern and they look great.
In the past, I have knit several pairs of Regia socks from the basic pattern on the flyer I got somewhere, a long time ago. I have since lost that pattern; however, the socks are a 1×1 plain vanilla ribbed sock pattern worked from the cuff down. Speaking of which, I am wearing a pair, today!

I fell in love with the book “Milo Armadillo” when my Grand Daughter, Molly, asked me to read it to her. She had picked out this book from the library because the GrandMa in the book looked like me, she thought! And the GrandMa knits an armadillo for her little Grand daughter, Tallulah, when all Tallulah wanted was a pink fluffy bunny… Molly asked me if I would please knit her a Milo Armadillo, as a pattern comes with the book… So I knitted one for Molly. Then I knitted an Ovaltine Armadillo for her little brother Marcus (orange color wave, not pink!), which Marcus called “Mino” while he could still talk… (he has Battens Disease and is dying as his brain is degenerating…) Then my Grand Daughter, Joy, wanted one too, so out came the needles again! And then I knitted one for a friend’s Grand Daughter and gave her a copy of the book, as well. Then I knitted one for me, only I used fluffy yarn to make what I call the “make-over Milo” (read the book!) I went to a Melbourne (Australia) yarn store where I could get the Debbie Bliss Cash-Merino required for the armadillos, and told them about the book. The next time I went there to get more Debbie Bliss, they had the book in the window, a knitted Milo, and they’d made up KITS!!! I have another Milo on the needles as I write this! The book is lovely, and I love making the Milo Armadillos! READ THE BOOK!!! I LOVE IT!!! (First time readers may require tissues!) ISBN 978-1-4063-1030-6 Published by http://www.walker.co.uk Milo Armadillo by Jan Fearnley. NB. There are a couple of small errors in the pattern, but they are minor and easily overcome, using one’s brain. http://www.walker.co.uk/Milo-Armadillo-9781406310306.aspx Enjoy!!!

My ‘favorite’ multiple pattern became that by accident! I went on vacation with my family, foolishly bringing only one thing to knit, with me. I finished it the first day! I had stopped at my local yarn shop before leaving, to get a skein of bulky yarn to complate a different project – and the bag was still in the car. They had slipped in a pattern for a simple earflap hat. I had the right size needles with me, so I knit up that skein of bulky yarn! The hat was a quick knit — and everybody in my family loudly hoped that it might be for them (even my father-in-law). Got ‘em to stop at a local shop there, and spent 15 minutes (that’s all the family would give me) buying 2 different bulky skeins. 2 more hats done, lickety split! One last trip to the yarn shop for supplies for the trip home (resulting in hat #4)… And, naturally, one more once we got home, to replace my original skein!

In an international scarf swap I received a Pimpelliese Scarf by Christine Ebers from a girl living in St Louis. She even lived down the road from TLE. I thought the scarf stylish yet practical. The original was done in fingering. Since that one I’ve knitted a crimson DK one in an Aussie yarn, a charteuse coloured Little Bugga one from Sanguine Gryphon and am now doing a pale pink one in Heritage Silk from Cascade. This last yarn I fell in love with because it said mulberry silk was a component and I love mulberries. A romance is certainly blossoming with this pattern!

I love making an entrelac scarf with Noro silk garden sock yarn. It never gets boring to watch the colors change and merge in and out of each other and it looks like so much more work than it is!

I love the Willow Cowl pattern from Ravelry. Have made two and will make more. I used some great sock yarn both times-once used partial skeins of Opal and Lorna’s laces in contrasting colors on the alternating lace and stockinette rows and one used Heritage sock yarn.

I have knit Ishbel 2 times and will definitely do it again. Mindless at the beginning and just enough pattern at the bottom to keep my interest. Plus it is one of those patterns that is easily committed to memory and is easy to read.

I have knit 6 of the Neck Warmer Hats by Elissa Sugishita. Quick easy, hip knit. All the receipients loved the hat and I loved making them with di.ve autunno yarn in various colors. I usually don’t make more than one of anything…oh, wait there were the mini mochi pandas, of which I made 3!! Mini mochis…fun to knit, too.

I’m still not great with my knitting but with my crocheting, I have made several pairs of fingerless gloves! I can take one pattern but then switch it up to add a cable or striping, etc. Right now, I am making a knitted Kinetic cowl and can see myself making more of those in the future!

I have knit three Lace Ribbon scarves. The first one came out so nice, that when my sister showed it to our cousin, our cousin thought it was a gift. So then I had to make one just like it for the cousin. Finally I got to make one for myself. I am sure I won’t stop there! Congrats on the new digs, Loopy! Jen

I love Yarn Harlot’s Basic Sock Recipe and Kate Gilbert’s Clapotis! I think I’ve knit the sock pattern 11-12 times so far and I’m getting ready to start my third clapotis (with plans for a fourth). Another favorite is Joelle Hoverson’s Kid’s Vest from More Last Minute Knitted Gifts! Happy Grand Opening Sheri and the Elves!

I’ve made Alice Yu’s Fiori di Zucca socks twice (in fact I’m wearing a pair now). They are a really pretty pair of lace socks based on the frost flowers pattern, but what I really love about them is how the pattern flows into the heel and out through the gusset decreases. It’s so clever. I’m going to knit a third pair soon! They are from Socktopus: 17 Pairs of Socks worth Showing Off.
Joanna said,
January 27, 2012 @ 7:13 pm
The sock pattern Waving Lace, I’ve knit it about a bazillion times. Well, maybe about 20-30 times. Everyone I’ve knit them for seems to love the socks
I like the Cloisonee mittens, might try those soon for a change!

How exciting! Wish I could be there! This winter have knitted serveral pairs of mitts of my own design. Family sees them and want a pair. Have done scarves, hats, 1 shawl, mittens and other items. Seems I have too many things I want to do, to repeat, like Wendy’s latest book. I could start anywhere there.
Hope you have a great Opening.

The Sockhead Hat by Kelly McClure is one I’ve knit over and over. It uses one skein of sock yarn, is wonderfully mindless to knit, and I love the cute slouchy hat it produces, with its turned-up ribbing to keep my ears nice and warm! It’s a great pattern for variegated yarns, too. I keep one on the needles to take to appointments, knitting group, etc., but I also love to knit on these at home when I want to read or watch a DVD while I knit. They’re almost as addictive as socks — once you have one, you’ll want more in every color of the rainbow!
Lora said,

Does frogging the same pattern several times count? Working on my first knitting project since high school and my first circular needle project ever… a simple cowl pattern that I keep accidently turning into an “infinitey” cowl due to twisting the initial row! I may need to drive up to FTC for a quick lesson…
Joy said,

I have knit several pairs of plain stockinette socks. I love using variegated yarn and watching the patterns that appear…or not.
Congrats on your grand opening!
Kris said,

Good question!
my most repeated pattern right now is Cabled Fingerless Gloves by Kimberly at thegivingflower.de. I knit 14 prs in sport weight baby alpaca for my wonderful co-workers. I also adore Alana Dakos’ Shawl Collared Cowl…a lovely quick knit in bulky yarn. I loved it so much that I made 3 for me and 1 for a last minute gift. Again, I used Alpaca for these…So lovely to work with!

The thing I’ve knit over and over again are vanilla socks. And tube socks. I never get tired of them, especiallly with all the wonderful yarns out there.
As for scarves, I have done several and I do get bored because they go on so long. So I learned how to weave on a Cricket loom right after Christmas!
Darcy said,

I’ve knited Irishgirlie’s Cotty sock pattern at least eight or nine times, and Jared Flood’s Koolhaas hat pattern seven times-this winter. I have 10 great nieces who all want a Koolhaas hat! I love knitting it up in Malabrigo Rio.

I’ve knit Nancy Bush’s “Conwy” sock pattern at least three times; same with Cookie A’s “Monkey” socks.

I’ve probably knitted up two dozen Bamboo Beanies by Brenda Green, both with and without flowers. They’ve been done in all colors, all stripe combos, and have all been absolutely adorable on the babies they have been made for. More often than not, my grandaughter and grandson!!! This pattern is definitely my go to “quickie”, when I need a baby gift!!
Jennifer said,
January 27, 2012 @ 9:24 pm
Oh, how I wish I could be there!
I like it when my yarn does the work, and vanilla socks with self striping yarns are a comfort knit for me. They seem to fly by, and someone (usually me!) gets a warm, fun stripey sock.

I have two patterns I have used over and over; Marla Mutch’s Knitted Flower Child Bootie pattern is great because you only need 50 grams of sock yarn to make a pair. They knit up very quickly and I find the pattern relaxing. I also like Fiber Trends felted clog slipper pattern. I often use a chunky yarn to make the slippers extra warm and comfy.

I typically don’t like to knit a pattern more than once but I have a couple of exceptions. I love EZ’s Baby Surprise and have knit several of those. I also get the urge to knit another pair of Monkey Socks (by Cookie A) periodically.

I haven’t been knitting long enough to repeat anything yet, especially given the huge number of things that I’m dying to get to! But I have knit a pair of Toasty mitts and it’s a very simple pattern that looks lovely in hand dyed yarns, so I’ll probably end up doing several pairs.

The only things I can think of that I have made twice are plain socks, plain scarves, and plain ribbed hats. However, I love my Eris sweater enough that when it wears out I might have to make a new one.
Sara Kist said,

Many times I make patterns more than once. There are 2 patterns that I have used over and over – Ann Norling’s Kid’s Fruit Caps and a Baby/Toddler/Child Raglan Sweater by Bev Dillon. Other favorites are Flying Ace Aviator Hats by Cheryl Andrews (Lafayette, CO), Show Off Stranded Scoks by Anne Campbell, Summerflies Shawl by Donna Griffin, Aestlight Shawl by Gudrun Johnston, and Spiral Rib Hats by Song Palmese.

I’ve done the Fiber Trends felted clogs multiple times. I’m making a 2nd bath mat from the Knit 2 Together book. There is a hat pattern that I know I’ve done at least twice. Other than that, I don’t think I’ve made something more than once.

I have knitted the Totally Reversible Scarf for myself twice and once for my sister. I have also used the pattern to teach new knitters with. It’s so easy and you can use the yarn of your choice and the needles of your choice. It’s multiple of 3 stiches plus 2. Slip 1st as if to knit, *K2, P1* repeat between *s until 1 stich remains, K1. You repeat the stich pattern for every row. You can make the scarf as wide or as narrow as you want. In the scarf’s that I knitted I have used Baby Alpaca. Oh, so soft. It’s a great pattern for new knitters, because they have instant gratification (they learn to cast on, slip a stich, knit, purl and cast off). Then they have the finished product.

My twin daughters just graduated from college and as a grad/Christmas gift they each got a huge afghan out of Cascade 220. Cara’s is pink/purple/blue and Liz’s is turquoise/teal/green. They took 5 months but it was worth it.

I’ve knit two Borealis Cowls, one for each of my daughters. The free pattern was from HearthStone Knits if you purchased a skein of Borealis yarn from Berroco. Someday when I get the pictures off my old cell phone, I’ll put it on my Ravelry projects page. I’ve also knit two Baby Surprises by Elizabeth Zimmerman. And prior to Ravelry, I had knit about 25 tiny one-piece baby sweaters from a pattern I received in 1970 from and for the Board of Religious Organizations. This was in cooperation with a Welcome Newcomers group when we first moved here.

I have knit the Devan Cardigan from Knitty twice for 2 grandsons a year apart in age. Also knit each of them each a baby blanket from an ‘ancient’ book (can’t find it right now). And I just cast on my 2nd pair of Skew socks–a great sock for self-striping yarn. I rarely repeat other things because there are just too many great patterns out there begging to be used!

I have 2 go to patterns for children. One is a vintage pattern for a cross over sweater and the other is the Wonderful Wallaby. And for my family, I make the shagged wooly bear mittens. They love them when I use an angora blend for the shagged part. Then for just plain enjoyment, I love to knit Rovaniemi mittens.
I hope you have sunshine and good roads for your Grand Opening.

I’ve made the Citron shawlette (added two extra sections to make it 7) three times. I’ve loved this pattern and how it works up in a variety of lace yarns. It’s a perfect shawlette to throw on instead of a sweater up here on the Central Coast of California where it can be cool and windy due to the ocean and Morro Bay.
Lori said,

I don’t think I have ever knit the same pattern twice. I get bored too easily! I did once crochet an afghan pattern twice and it drove me crazy. I like variety!
I so wish I could come to the grand opening today! I live south of Denver and I would come if it were a different day, but we have basketball games and Pinewood Derby today, so I’ll have to visit another time. There in yarn spirit though!

Fiber Trends Felted Clogs!
I’ve made so many of them (about 50 pair) that I can almost knit them in my sleep. Seriously. An adult pair whips up in an evening or 2 now. I love knitting them and the people I gift them to love wearing them! Cascade 220 is the perfect yarn for them!

I had been a passionate knitter for many years when a friend showed me a pair of self-striping socks she was knitting. My hobby quickly became an obsession. I have knitted at least 30 pairs of socks from the “Classic Socks” pattern created by Melinda Goodfellow for Yankee Knitter Designs. Easy to read, the pattern includes a sturdy turned heel (K1, slip 1) that lasts for years. My friends and family gush over their socks and think I’m a genius despite my claims that sock knitting is easy. Thanks, Melinda.

Can’t go wrong with the multi-directional diagonal scarf – I have made it in multiple weights of yarn, and the short rows keep it interesting.

I’ve knit EZ’s Baby Surprise Jacket three times now. I love how it evolves into a semi-shapeless heap and then with a little origami-like magic–voila! It’s a sweater!

Definitely the Baby Suprise Jacket. I can alter the yarn to change the size, and it knits up quickly.

It’s all socks – Jaywalker and Monkey for variety, and Wendy’s basic toe-up and Harlot’s cuff-down when the yarn is too variegated or when I want “quick and easy”. Happy Grand Opening, Sheri!

I wanted to be there today for the grand opening, really, really I did!! But a family emergency (which, fortunately, has turned out to be minor) prevented it. So, I’ll stay home watching the Loopy Cam and working on socks. I love socks, preferably toe-up, and I’m just as likely to read a cuff-down chart backward to do it toe-up. Lately, I have to say, I’m being unfaithful and looking at more and more shawls.
Happy Grand Opening, and my next planned trip to Fort Collins will not be disrupted (I hope!).

My favorite pattern is my worsted weight cardigan pattern. It is my own design and I have gone from making drop-shoulder versions to now working to perfect a set-in sleeve version. I’ve made it in a Guernsey-style patterning, with a flower knot yoke, in a stripe, etc. I’ve also made it with both a round neck and a v-neck and with the edgings done in either 2 x 2 ribbing, 1 x 1 ribbing or crocheted edgings.

Hi Sherry,
Congratulations on your new shop! I wish it was closer to me, but alas, it is not. Maybe I can convince my husband to take us on a road trip someday (I can only wish).
There are several patterns that I have knit up more than once. Some of my favorites are The Baby Surprise Jacket by you know who, Leaf Lace Scarf by Kyrie Garretson, Baby Gnome Hat by Sue Dial, and Official Kittyville Hat by Kitty Schmidt. Also, Wendy Johnson socks are pretty much my go to patterns for gifting.
Great giveaway idea!

I’m on my second hitchhiker right now. I just cast on the first one last Friday, finished it Wednesday night, and now I’m 10 ridges into the 2nd one. It’s so addictive and pretty. My favorite part is when people say things like “It must be really hard to make those ridges!”

I have several patterns that I like enough to knit more than once, but I would have to say the one i have done most is “Colorful Egg” by Marnie Ann Joyce. I fell in love with knitting eggs several years ago before Easter and I kept giving them away.
My most recent repetitive pattern has been the ruffle scarf. I think I knitted 20 of them during November and December. (girls level 3 gymnastics team, sisters-in-law, mothers, teacher, daughter, etc…….

Well there were 9 pairs of top down socks for this last Christmas, but now I am on to a repeat of the Falling Water Lace Scarf. It was easy to memorize, worked up beautifully in some Mini Mochi, and everyone wanted one after I wore it the first time. Congrats on the new “real” store.

I can only think of 2 patterns I’ve knit more than once-one is a basic mitten pattern I would embellish and felt, and the other is a reversible scarf pattern by eweandi originals, that I got from a now-closed yarn store. That scarf called for Malabrigo worsted, which I had never seen before and was blown away by.

I’ve knit up four ‘Just Enough Ruffles’ by Laura Chau. It is one of those mindless knits that even with the wrap and turns you see where you are so a pattern once you cast on is no longer needed. I like that I can use up scraps now to make it colorful or a nice skein of variegated does it’s own work.
I have also knit a three ‘Habitat’ hats by Jared Flood. Just because they are nice a masculine so with different yarns, look completely different.
But like most people, there are so many unique patterns out there, I almost HATE knitting something twice. (Though as I speak I am on my second ‘Ice Queen’ by Rosemary HIll.)
Thanks for all the patterns that I am now queuing up that I think I need to make myself.

I have probably made dozens of a lace baby blanket from a Bernat pattern book of (surprise!) baby blankets. I first made this blanket in 1984 for the birth of a friend’s daughter. Her daughter loved it so much that, as it began to fall to pieces from too much loving, her mom would cut out the piece, bind it off so it wouldn’t unravel, and put it away. As her daughter got older, she would take pieces of her blanket with her when she went new places: to sleep at a friends, to sleep away camp for the first time, even off to college.
I had so much fun making the pattern, that I started making it for all my friends’ new babies. When my daughter was pregnant, she asked for one for her first baby, and the blanket has begun warming the second generation.

I tend to knit the simple patterns I manage to keep in my head (!), like a couple of the Noro striped scarves, 3×1 ribbed mitts (Baby Twist Alpaca–you can’t lose), and basic stockinette socks (lots, and I just started another pair). Looks like I like the plain knitting more than those beautiful stitch patterns!

I’ve got a couple of go-to scarf patterns that are great repeats, because they look different each time, in a different yarn or different color, There’s a trellis lace pattern, and a diagonal garter stitch pattern, both of which I can practically do in my sleep, but every finished object is spectacular looking!

I love Kate Jackson’s Poppy Beret! It knits up quickly and is super lightweight. Makes a great gift for even “non hat wearers” since it doesn’t give the wearer “hat hair”
