gift for the holidays.

Correction: 
Some patterns in 2010 were purchased with this typo. 
Please make sure your verion is correct.

The Wrapigan





A wrap? A cardigan? Just wrap up again!
in Stitch Poet's Wrapigan!

Peruvian Tweed (distributed by Joseph Galler)
100% Peruvian Alpaca
3 skeins (~1800 yards) 
US #7 (24", 16" and 12" or set of dpns)
gauge: 20 sts / 28 rows = 4x4" swatch


The Peruvian Tweed has proven to be the best yarn selection for this garment. If you must substitute yarns, keep in mind that it is meant to be drapey and not a chunky densely knit garment.  The Peruvian Tweed is available at many of the yarn shops that carry Stitch Poet and we've found nothing that works better.  Each skein is 600 yards, which is a delightful when knitting a large project like this!

The Chip Bag...Betcha can't make just one!






The Chip Bag is IRRESISTIBLE!

The original Chip is for an Aran Wt. yarn
(approx. 238 yards will work both bags)
US #8 needles, Cable needle
Lining and bamboo sticks or desired handle
gauge: 4 sts/inch in stockinette stitch





The pattern includes 2 sizes, but we've found that you can substitute almost anything and change the size of your bag. This last one is Super Bulky and makes a great tote! For more details on yarn substitutions, try searching Ravelry for what others have done! The original Chip was worked in Laines Du Nord's "Cleo." I believe this yarn has been discontinued, but the Chip Bag lives on in many different yarn substitutions!

Southend Hobo


Southend is Chip's Cousin!
You asked for it, you got it!

pictured in color M-01/Sandy - 570 yards
US #8 (24"circular) needles
Gauge: 4.5 sts/inch in Stockinette Stitch

if you are going to use snaps, omit the buttonholes!
