This is a long narrow tube meant to be worn “piled” up on the neck. When knit from this yarn, it is soft and slinky.

Nice variety of lace patterns keep you from getting bored. T-shaped pullover with positive ease. Front and back are the same. Gravity shaped neckline. Leave side slits if desired.

Classic sleeveless pullover using a pretty stripe transition of colors under the bust. Make a matching shawl using 1 more skein of each color.

Pretty lace and stars to cover your shoulders, to show just a peek of skin and beauty beneath. This open vest is weightless yet warm, and is perfect worn on casual Fridays or over a pretty sundress.

This is not a pattern with specific gauge or stitch numbers. To get this effect you need to use a yarn that is dyed with TWO DISTINCT COLORS.

Puppets are built from one body. All of the accessories can be sewn on or attached with sewable velcro. Some parts are felted, cut from felt or embellished with fabric paint.

Made from the neck down, this summer top is quick and flattering. Change yarn colors every 2 rounds as we did, or as your heart desires. What a great way to blend hand-dyed yarns and avoid patterns, obvious stripes or pooling! Plus you can use only 2-3 skeins of each color so you’re sure to have enough.

Totally reversible and a versatile size. No rolling or bad side to show. Our sample used 3 skeins of different colors, knitting each skein til it ran out. Three to four skeins makes a great baby or travel or lap size blanket.

Although mainly stockinette, the edges have a bias knit finish with a column of eyelets. Make as a scarf or as a cowl. One skein of dk or sport weight, about 250 yards will make a 50-54” length.

This over-sized shawl gets it’s beautiful shading by mixing 3 colors of Geek, our lace-weight superwash merino. Hold three strands together throughout but only change one of the colors at a time. Of course, you don’t have to make it this big, but if you use every inch of the 3 skeins, it will be noteworthy!

A long narrow shawl that can also work as a scarf. It begins at the neck, growing larger at two points that help shape it to the shoulders, as well as at the edges. Eventually the second color is added and worked in a wide feather and fan lace pattern. Shown in two colors of Gutsy Fingering, our bamboo/cotton blend--very soft and drapey.

It’s a cross between a shawl and a jacket! Choose 6 colors of fingering weight yarn (I used Roamer, but Gutsy Fingering works for non-wool)and blend them from front edge to back then back out to the other front. The sleeves are worked in “afterthought” method using the remaining amounts of yarn.

We could call it a poncho but “wrap” seems classier. It’s the perfect pullover wrap to wear over a sundress in the evening or in an air conditioned office. Pull it over your head and let it fall any direction, it doesn’t matter if it’s centered or sideways or askew off your shoulder, it will look beautiful.

Mitts are knit side to side then seamed to leave a thumb opening. The design is simple to show off the large-color-pooling. The pattern is specifically designed for using Zombie Yarns Monster (DK merino).

Although it’s a basic little pullover, it’s great for showing off the colors of hand dyed yarn.

The fun spirals of this traditional ribbed beanie are created by the yarn. Be sure to use Zombie Yarns “Zombie Code” (purple/green) or one of our many “Zombie Shadows” colors--all half color/half black. The spiral happens because of the way the yarn is dyed. And one skein will make one hat!

Hat as shown can only be made from Zombie Yarns colorways called Zombie Shadows which are a vibrant color dyed across half the skein and the other half is dipped in black. This diameter of skein combines with the number of stitches for the hat to make a long slow spiral than mimicks stripes or self striping patterns.

Fingerless gloves begin with ribbing knit in the round and a lace panel on the top of the hand. It then changes to back-and-forth-knitting to open a thumb hole, then back to the round. The thumb is picked up and knit simple and easy, no gusset.

This shrug works so well over sleeveless clothing to cover the chill of air conditioners and cool evenings. It’s a quick knit, done entirely in 2x2 ribbing with some dropped stitches for fun and drape.

Cowl is knit lengthwise, sewing the cast on edge to the bound off edge--so can also be left as a very long scarf.

This little blanket is the cozy size perfect for a car seat, stroller, nursing or even a favorite doll blanket.

Just two rows to this shawl pattern and it grows so quickly! No need to stop at 6 colors, just keep going to your heart’s content!

This lace pattern has lace worked on EVERY round. Fortunately for you the knitter, this cowl is made in the round so all rows are right side rows. You won’t have to do any special tricks!

Make this short-row-wedged shawl in 2 colors or 12, any number of colors will be amazing, guaranteed!

The shawl itself is simple: neck down triangle that grows twice at fast at the edges as it does in the middle, knit in loose stockinette.

The fun comes from mixing a fingering weight yarn EATER with a bulky weight BITER. Their contrast accentuates their beauty and colors.

Cowls themselves are reversible so here is a reversible cable that will look beautiful no matter how it drapes. Both sides look the same thanks to a ribbed cable design. It’s very easy to make, just two basic cables to knit. Knit a long strip to the desired length and sew the ends together. Ends could be left detached to wear as a scarf. The lo...

Finally a very “boyish” sweater and hat set! No buttons or closures to fuss with and no squishing baby’s head into a tiny neck opening either. The overlapping shawl collar opens wide for an oversized baby head, then bounces back into place to keep his chest and neck cozy.

This semi-circular shawl (about 54” wide by 20” long) with a “bite” taken out at the neck which allows it to sit perfectly on your shoulders without pins or falling off.
