I am a notoriously loose knitter. For this hat I wanted a band that would fit my pin head so gauge is less important than getting the band the right length. Measure the recipient’s head and add 1 inch. When you go to pick up stitches you will be able to add the appropriate number to reach 120. Then it is all smooth knitting to the end. Enjoy!

This muff is knit flat but could easily be done in the round. I didn’t because the increases were too fiddly for my taste. The texture of the waffle stitch and the warm alpaca/wool bleand yarn make it extra cozy to share with someone special.

Less than one skein of yarn. Quick gift. Gauge is not important and the size is easily adjusted.

Cora is an ode to my new favorite series and Lady Cora Crawley. Reminiscent of the twenties, Cora is a neat cloche style hat with a button detail on the brim. Simple enough for a beginner but big on style.
