Argosy Recharged

This is where to come to find all things Argosy.  Click on a pic to get to the free pattern (most in .pdf format).

Argosy from Knitty: Winter 2006   (permalink)   &   (permalink)


Kay's Argosy Baby Blanket     (permalink)


Argosy Baby Blanket     (permalink)


Argosy Wrap      (permalink)

This is another deviation from the original Argosy scarf.  The interior part of the wrap is basic stockinette which helps this project go faster.  I used Noro Kureyon in 3 different colorways.  Click on the photos below for a closeup view.

       


Argosy Shawl   (permalink)

This shawl takes the Argosy pattern in a different direction.  It is triangular in shape and has a long straight edge at the top/neck edge.  It is not a bias knit as most of the other Argosies have been.  It’s worked in yarn that is appropriate for spring/summer wraps and could even be used as a beach wrap at the waist.  Once the piece is blocked, most of the curling at the edges seems to disappear.  I like to use decorative hair picks or fancy chopsticks to keep the shawl closed.  If you don't want to read out the instructions line-by-line, I've written up an short version.  This is good for those who knit intuitively and can "read" their knitted item as they go.  Click on the photos below to see the close-up view.

         


Argosy Dishcloth     (permalink)

My inspiration for this dishcloth came after seeing so many beautiful versions of the Argosy scarf online.  You guys are so creative!  I’ve seen them expanded in width, using hand-dyed hand-spun yarn and I’ve even seen a baby blanket in the works.  Thanks to everyone who has complimented on the pattern. 

 

This is a quick & fun project.  Keep in mind that it will not be square in shape but more of a parallelogram.  It has an almost “quilty”, slightly corrugated look to it before washing.


Argosy Plain Jane Dishcloth   (permalink)

This version of the Argosy dishcloth omits those pesky cast-on/bind-off zigzag edges of the original.  It is a great way to learn the grid sequencing and can be worked up as a practice piece before going on to the other designs in the Argosy Recharged series.  There are only 8 rows that are repeated and they can be easily memorized.  This is a smallish size when finished so to make a larger one, just cast on more stitches in multiples of 8.  I think it would look great in a solid color also.
