10 Advanced Knitting Patterns

Rarely do any of us go searching for knitting patterns that will test our limits ot require the utmost of our knitting abilities. That said, we all want to impress others with our knitting, and the best way to do that is to knit the harder stuff. If you're looking to challenge yourself, there are techniques like fair isle knitting or brioche knitting that will really take your projects to the next level, and these patterns are some of my favorite advanced-technique-utilizing patterns on AllFreeKnitting.

Any one of these is sure to challenge you to the point of ripping out your hair in frustration, but you'll come out of it with potentially the most beautiful piece you've ever made. Start with something a little smaller like the Stack Overflow Cowl and work your way down the list to the Sense and Sensibility Knit Cardigan, quite likely to be your knitting magnum opus.
