Stitch Club Simply Knit Boatneck Top Supplies + Tutorial

Autumn weather is the best! It means finally breaking out the super soft fall sweaters we shoved into storage last year now that chillier temps are coming. Rock a cozy look and create your own sweater this year with our Simply Knit Boatneck Top tutorial, which gives you step-by-step instructions to create this classic look for yourself. Working from the bottom up with Patons Canadiana Yarn, easily knit two identical panels, then bring together with ribbing, soon switching to a stocking stitch. Incorporate a bright yarn within the panels to make the thick stripes (it’ll truly make those short sleeves pop!). You can order all of the supplies you need for this project, including yarn and tools, by shopping the full kit available on Yarnspirations. For all the details and instructions, download our boatneck top knitting pattern.DOWNLOAD THE PATTERN NOWStill learning the basics or simply need a refresher? Never fear!

Before I begin to decorate or remodel a home, I first try to picture how I want it to feel to be there in every season. Now that we have our new home, I’ve been spending lots of time daydreaming about our life here (as I’m packing up our old house to move our belongings in, that is haha)…
For fall and winter, I visualize our home feeling like the most inviting charming bed and breakfast hotel in a seaside town. A place where you’d come in from a day of adventuring to get warm by the fire. You’d be able to curl up in a comfy spot to spend the evening in a cozy chair reading a book, listening to music or having lively conversations over hot spiced cider and hors d’oeuvres.
I already love calling our new house our home, and I know I’ll have so much fun making it our own. As I’ve been looking for inspiration, I found this amazing guest house on Martha’s Vineyard in New England Home (where all the photos in this post are from) and it got my creative wheels turning for cozy ideas. This home also gives me lots of fall feelings and ideas…hope you are inspired by it, too!
I’ve shared many times here on The Inspired Room that I like to observe interior design from many different sources and styles. This practice helps me to begin to think of my own style in fresh ways and inspires me to create more interesting spaces.
Enjoy the photos in this post! Below each photo I share a few design elements that stood out to me. I call this the observation game (I’ve been sharing posts like this from the beginning of The Inspired Room back in 2007!). If you observe and study good classic design, it will inspire you for years to come!
Observations: Grasscloth wallpaper, green painted doors, substantial statement lighting that also adds contrast, an interesting pattern mix, a cozy sisal rug, botanical artwork, lots of texture, paneled ceiling and wood beam
Observations: inviting wood dining table, mint green vase, candle-style lantern for mood lighting, rustic tray
Observations: soft blue/green painted paneled ceilings, fun teal chairs, nautical stripes, cozy lamp in corner, black lights, walls of windows/doors
Observations: simple mantel styling, cozy fireplace, texture and pattern combinations
Observations: island paint color in a soft minty blue, warm wood floors, green Dutch oven on display, casual woven baskets, interesting architecture, covered range hood, covered dishwasher, mostly clear counters, dramatic greenery
Observations: rich wood furniture, simple linen window treatments, cozy conversation area, simple coffee table styling with stacked books
Observations: matching navy twin beds, footed nightstand, simple greenery, fun blue and white patterned bedding, botanicals throughout home, coastal striped rug
Observations: interesting wallpaper, unique but simple black light, cute reading chair with side table and brass pharmacy lamp, plaid rug, four poster bed, blue and white bedding, little round mirror, substantial lamp, wood secretary desk, simple curtains with black rods
Observations: charming rocking chairs on the porch, shingled exterior, beautiful glass French doors, black pendant light
