Very easy, in the round construction, the horns are added on after the rest of the hat is finished. There is a set up row for the horns in the top decreases. The horns are knit using double point needles. When finish...

This easyand quick hat, knit double strand throughout, is a fun spoof on Frankenstein! A great first fair isle project, there are no decreases for the crown, the top is finished with a 3 needle bind off. Complete with i-cord neck bolts, this monster hat is sure to please!

A fun scarf to knit with a button hole band along one edge. Stays in place while keeping your neck toasty warm! Half the length of most scarves, it knits up fairly quick and the pattern stitch is fun to do! Make sure to check your gauge as only a small amount of yarn remained.

This pattern pays homage to our hometown’s orange groves. I was knitting this design as the air through town was sweetened by the scent of the orange blossoms during March and April. Knit in the round, the orange is done in garter stitch, as are the leaves. The hanger is a simple i-cord. A quick knit that can be used as a washcloth or trivet. C...

This sock features a lacy edging - a modified feather & fan and the leg stitch is accomplished by doing a wrapping technique that is easy to learn and the result is textured!

This is a quick, easy pattern - great for a first felting project!! I designed it for an easy gift idea. Just add a small glass jar to hold the flowers!

This bowl tells a story: sheep grazing, then they jump over the fence and become clouds in the sky, later returning to graze. It is constructed beginning with a provisional cast on that is later picked up and finished with an i-cord bind off. Once felted, the sheep and clouds are added using needle felting techniques. You can reproduce my desig...

This felted hat is very simple to knit and gets its personality by cutting slits in the felt and threading a beautiful wide ribbon to make the bow and band. Great first felting project - easy, and quick!!

I designed this pattern for those knitters that hate to decrease!! The top of this hat is created by doing a 3-needle bind off, folding the corners into the center and sewing them down with a button or a bow. The envelope type fold is quite whimsical and easy to create! The pattern has a preemie version as well as a newborn version.

This hat is a perfect Spring project. Designed for newborn to 6 months, using a simple bit of fair isle, the chick looks like it is popping out of an eggshell! The 3D wings are made by picking up stitches on the exterior of the hat.

Ready for a project that is the perfect weight for Spring and Summer? This easy scarf has a built in pocket to keep it laying close to the neck. The ends are seed stitch (you could easily use another stitch if you’d like!) and the around the neck portion is simple ribbing. The cotton is so soft and the varigation of the yarn does all the work!!...

This sock has a checkerboard pattern on the leg - hence the name! I LOVED knitting with the Unisono, so soft and dense.

A simple rib bordered by a cable on each side, this scarf knits up in a weekend! Brown Sheep’s Lanaloft bulky is so soft and really shows off the cable detail on this scarf. I used every last inch of the yarn (160 yards to a skein) to knit this 6 foot scarf!

This slouchy hat is a quick knit and oh, so cute and casual! The basketweave pattern really showcases the handpaint nature of the Lanaloft. Knit in the round, it finishes up in no time!

This pattern is written in 2 sizes. The above information is for the smaller size (17-19 inch circumference.) The hat is knit in the round, using the yarn doubled throughout. So, you could substitute Lamb’s Pride Bulky, or another bulky if you wanted to. The holly leaves are created after knitting a square and felting it in the washing machine....

This fair isle beret was inspired by my good friend’s new baby, Charlotte. Just above the purple ribbing are building blocks that say: ABC123. There are 2 charts involved. I used duplicate stitch for the letters and numbers. The bow atop the hat is made using a twisted cord. A sweet topper for a sweet baby!

This scarf hugs the neck nicely with an easy ribbing portion. It has a pocket built in, keeping the scarf close to the neck. Each end of the scarf is created with a provisional cast on leading to a self hemmed edge and a beautiful tucked technique that I discovered in the book, Reversible Knitting. At first glance, they look a little like cable...

This slouchy hat begins with a garter stitch band for the brim that is joined, end to end. Then you pick up stitches and knit up from there in a very easy slip stitch pattern. The color combination possibilities are endless! I loved knitting it in the Universal Cotton Supreme - perfect fiber for the warmer months!

This whimiscal hat is done with the yarn double stranded throughout. You could subsitute Lamb’s Pride Bulky if you’d like! Knit in the round, the decreases at the top are done like the toe of a sock to give it the point that is typical of a piece of candy corn. I designed this, paying homage to one of my favorite holiday candies!

This design was inspired by my friend, Carla, who LOVES to knit cowls! I had used this slip stitch design on a hat and she asked me to make it in a cowl - so here it is! This is a very easy introduction to slip stitch knitting, if you haven’t done it before. Also, the skein of Silk Garden Sock has enough yardage to knit 3 if you are on gauge!! ...

This whimsical cherry hat has two sizes: 18” and 20”. A very easy, in the round hat with an i-cord stem on top! This could easily be a grape, just by changing the color from red to purple! Let your imagination go wild!

This facecloth is easy, easy, easy! A simple four row repeat, only one of which is a pattern row. And here’s an idea, run a pretty ribbon through the outer edge, place a bar of soap inside, cinch it up, tie a bow and you have an instant gift! Great for a hostess gift, or for Mother’s Day! If you are on gauge, one skein of the flax is enough to ...

This is a very simple, striped beret that is more bouncy than floppy! The striping sequence is created using a portion of the Fibonacci number sequence. If you’d like a scarf to match, check out my scarf with the same name! Knit in the round, the band is done using a US6, the rest of the hat is done using a US10.

Although the pattern is EASY, EASY, EASY, to knit, the striping sequence gives it an intriguing look! It is knit utilizing Fibonacci’s number sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8… The previous two numbers are added together to get the next number in the sequence. In the scarf the number of rows in each color stripe corresponds with this number string....

This hat is beyond simple! Knit in the round, there are no decreases for the crown. You simply bind off the stitches using a 3-needle bind off and fold points to the center to create an envelope-like fold on the top of the hat. Top it off with a button of your choice! The pattern has two sizes, both of which are done with a worsted weight yarn....

Originally designed for Chameleon Colorworks Sock of the Month Club, this ‘toe-less’ sock is a perfect way to showcase a new pedicure! The lacy pattern on the leg continues down the heel flap, so wearing it with a backless sandle would be perfect!

I like to call this design a ‘cheater mobius’ because the twist happens after you knit it! You knit this migrating rib pattern flat, making a wavy edge. When done, you put a twist in the scarf and join the live sts with the cast on stitches using kitchener stitch. On the right side, you can’t even see the join! Easy and fun to knit. Knowledge o...

I have my mom to thank for this design (see photo). She found this style of wrap in a clothing catalog and wanted to knit one, so I got to work on the design while she got to work on the knitting! It’s very easy - she wouldn’t knit it if it wasn’t! Very functional, unlike other wraps that have a tendency to wander, this one stays in place thank...

I originally designed this sock for Chameleon Colorworks Sock of the Month Club. Although I listed Bambino as the yarn, many other Chameleon Colorworks fingering weight yarns were used as well.

I love designing fair isle socks - here’s my second go of it! The variagated blue of the Cobblestone gives the ‘water’ the appearance of movement as orange fish swim around the leg in both directions, waves come up just below the cuff. It is finished off with a blending of the two colors in the center of the foot ending with a bright orange toe...

I designed this bag out of the frustration I have felt for some bags not having much body. I won’t lie - this bag takes a while as the strap is knit in the round to give it lots of body and structure. It’s worth the time, in the end you have a very sturdy bag with lots of room to hold whatever you like to tote around!

Knit in the round, this luscious merino & silk cap has a lovely stitch pattern that is very easy to do! Several of my customers have knit more than one.

I originally designed this sock for Chameleon Colorworks Sock of the Month Club.

I originally designed this sock for Chameleon Colorworks Sock of the Month Club. This sock incorporates two lace patterns: whale tails on the leg and a seastar motif on the instep. It also utilizes an afterthought heel and an unusual toe decrease. Great fun for you or the whale lover in your life!

This is a dk weight sock with a ruffled cuff. Although it is designed using the 2 yarns for the ruffle and heel, you could knit it with just a single DK weight yarn.

Done on double pointed needles, out of one skein of Malabrigo you can get 10 cookies! The pattern has detailed photos showing you how to go from a flat felted circle to a folded fortune cookie! Th...

This fun sock shakes it up a bit with a reverse stockinette heel flap, heel turn, sole, as well as toe! The ribbed leg is jazzed up a bit with a passed over slip stitch. They knit up quick in DK weight sock yarn!

This five petaled blossom hat wouldn’t be complete without its i-cord stamens spouting out the top! You begin by knitting each petal individually, then joining them in the round to create the top of the hat. Perfect for the toddlers in your life!

This neckwarmer/earwarmer is a quick knit! Done in the round, it is an easy migrating rib that gives it a zigzag appearance. Great for men or women!

My mom is the queen of easy, quick knit scarves! This is another of her popular designs. A one skein wonder, the slipped yarn overs give the knitted fabric lots of texture and interest.
