Elven Leaf is a variation of my Knitted Fitted Pussyhat. The difference is that there is a large embossed leaf in the center front ribbing. I designed this for the March for Science 2017 but it looks great in pink (blush, blush). Please enjoy and vary any way you see fit. And share! Please share.

This is a very simple variation on Kat Coyle’s original Pussyhat Project. It’s worked in the round and has a centrally located double decrease which helps to shape the hat to the head and make the ears stand more erect. I am sharing this for all you pussyhat enthusiasts out there. Knit Strong!!!

Super fast, ultra simple cat beanie crocheted with two strands held together. After knitting a big stack of pussyhats for the Women’s March on Washington, I had a gorgeous basket of leftover yarns. I just started crocheting with a big hook and two strands held together. I got so many compliments on this hat that I decided to share it with you a...

This pattern is written for handspinners because it is a bag to hold oil for the spinning wheel. I guess you could use it as a lipstick case as well, since they are approximately the same size. If you substitute commercial yarn, please use laceweight such as Jojoland Melody, Malabrigo laceweight, etc. Fiber in bag shown is a section out of “Jan...

In celebration of Jillian Moreno’s new book Yarnitecture here is a free pattern!!! Denizen Poncho uses both knitting and crochet stitches just like my project “Sweet Omega” in Yarnitecture. Denizen is an asymmetrical poncho with a lace panel flanked by sideways knitted stockinette panels and finished with crochet. It’s a perfect project for the...

This little whirlwind of a tam has an ever-branching spiral of leaves worked from the crown to the brim. Easier than it looks, it will certainly keep you interested throughout. Bet you can’t make just one. I consider this an intermediate project, maybe not your first lace pattern, but maybe second or third.

So many leaves. I have to admit I went hog wild last year during a long awaited kitchen remodel. I started morphing the leaf pattern from Spiraling Leaves and this is one result. The other is Embarrassment of Leaves (I should count them all). This capelet is a good first or second lace project, fairly quick to knit up in soft and chunky Malabri...

If you are a fan of the leaf motif, then this romantic capelet belongs in your collection. I am currently writing the pattern for the matching hat as well, so stay tuned. This pattern comes in one size which really will fit most. It is for intermediate to experienced knitters.

I dyed this yarn with dahlia flowers and alum mordant.

Rain Bird Cowl is a grab-and-go piece for the winter wardrobe. Wear it around the shoulders as a capelet, draped around the neck as an infinity scarf, or twist to double and wear close to the neck as a cowl. The little feather pattern forms an undulating texture defined by spiraling channels of purl stitches that remind me of the spiral spray o...

You’ll love knitting these little yoga socks. They are quick to knit, way easier than they look, and make great gifts. Pattern is written from the top down but who says you can’t knit them the other way round? Size the circumference by adjusting your yarn/needle/gauge. Lengthen or shorten at suggested landmarks in pattern.

These mitts are super warm and cozy. No, they aren’t sleek. Yes, they are the warmest fingerless mitts I have bar none. The pattern gives instructions for knitting a flat fabric with special eye to details for the selvedges and seam. I prefer to knit heavy yarns on straight needles and I thought it would be cool to offer a pattern for those not...

Spiraling Leaves Wrap is a chunky weight, cozy, textured lace wrap. It is knit back and forth as a bias triangle, then joined in front with an overlapping seam. Reasonably easy to knit, this is a fun and fairly quick project and is appropriate for first-time lace knitters.

A simple fingerless mitt with a riotous little ruffle.

Panels of seed stitch and meandering leaves traced with twisted-stitch ribs and dotted with beads remind one of a dewy cottage garden shaded by a venerable apple tree, enclosed by a wooden fence. A cat smiles from the porch railing.

Cables and Chevrons travel side by side, like two romantic poets whose lives ran parallel, each enhancing the other, paths crossing like the cables that twist around the thumb detail. When I went to write the pattern, I realized that the easiest way to set it down was in two variations of a 4 round repeat which repeat at different intervals. Th...

Sister pattern to Heart of the Lotus armwarmers, this pattern is also written for two weights of yarn, sport and fingering. These are form fitting legwarmers and they still scrunch really well, but if you want them loose, just knit them in the next size up. I think it would be really cool to knit them loose and airy on larger needles…say US 4 o...

Flip Side fingerless gloves are totally reversible! Two gloves in one. Knit it on the “dot side” and flip it to the “nubbin side”. If you finish carefully and hide your tails well, you can flip ‘em any time you like. These are really fun to knit, very textural, and only take about 160 yds of sport weight yarn for the medium size. That means tha...

These are the sister socks to my Cloudland fingerless gloves. The beautiful faux cables spiral in opposite directions. Spiraling patterned socks require a symmetrical heel and I have included a round heel which is placed as an “afterthought” heel (though it’s definitely planned for). You could work an hourglass heel in its place if you like wor...

Tres elegant spiraling lace faux cables that fit like a second skin. This pair took only one 200 yd skein of Malabrigo Finito (color: Paloma).

Start from a “core 4” of rectangles and work in 4 successive rings to make this seamless hat. Skill level, experienced. I wouldn’t suggest it as your first entrelac project. However, it’s simple enough for those who have worked in entrelac before. I have included several drawings to guide you. Although I originally changed needle sizes in this ...

The Lotus is a symbol of chaitanya (sanskrit for consciousness). One’s awareness rises from its mundane beginnings in the mud and grows heavenward through the water, rising into the light first as a bud and then as a spendiferous flower opening to the sun. It has long been used as the symbol of the chakras (wheels), the crown chakra being the t...

I love this little pullover moebius cowl! It’s really fun to knit…pretty easy really, though not totally rank newbie. I knit this one in my worsted weight 2 ply handspun. The fiber? Three Waters Farm BFL in Night Carnival with a smattering of Roses and Chocolate. The cowl is reversible and one edge has a rib, the other a ruffle. So if you are i...

Pattern available in PDF format online.

This is a sock version of my Fern Spiral Fingerless Gloves. It has an hourglass heel which allows the spiraling pattern to continue unfettered. It’s very fun to knit and I’m on my third pair. I used Ashland Bay La Grande (many indie dyers use this) 100% superwash merino dyed with eucalyptus leaves and madder root. Suggested subs are Sock by Shi...

I knit the original capelet in my ooak handspun, but you can substitute any bulky yarn. Here’s what I used: Written for 5 different handspun yarns, but would look lovely in just one or two. All yarns are bulky singles. I chose smooth thick and thin yarns for A and B, a fleecy corespun for C, a multicolor autowrapped single for D and a similar-t...

This pattern has been newly revamped, corrected, and is now available with charts. If you have already purchased, you will receive a link to download the new version. Please do so! It’s beautiful!

Totally fun cuffs are quick to knit, add a touch of removeable ruffle to any jacket or sweater. Sierra comes in pale denim blue and this looks so great with a vintage denim jean jacket. White version is knit in undyed Great Wall merino/bamboo yarn from Ashland Bay. I used magic loop technique to knit these because of the large number of stitche...

Ever wanted a pair of fingerless mitts that would keep you warm but still allow you to operate your favorite touch screen device? I got sick of taking off my gloves to answer my phone, so I designed these. You can fold the fabric back for more finger wiggle room when it’s not that cold, then flip it over your fingers in a snap. When the phone r...

This beautiful textured “faux circle” jacket is designed to look like a circle jacket, but fit in a more flattering way, with slimming vertical stripes. Because it has both petite and regular sizes, you can get the look of a circle jacket without the crazy length (as we all know, it’s challenging to size a circle jacket). The bodice is knit in ...

I originally designed the scarf for my classes as a project for participants’ handspun color samples. It’s an assembled piece, great way to use up small amounts of yarns…stash reduction…one-offs, etc. I spun the yarn for this scarf from 6 different colorways of handpainted Blue Faced Leicester rovings, then plied the colorways to themselves or ...

The cuffs shown in the photos are knit from my handspun, but I’ve knit two pairs in Three Waters Farm Organic Merino Worsted. I love this yarn and it’s perfect for the pattern. This pattern comes with instructions for both long and short versions. The long version has a wider wrist band and longer length. Shorter version is a tad simpler. I kni...

Extremely easy to knit modular scarf. Great for handspun art yarns, heavy yarns, textured yarns and openwork. Wear one piece alone or “lynk” two or three pieces together. Written to make most of small amounts of handspun yarns (so many of them come between 30 and 50 yds). I knit this from similar skeins, but you can knit separate pieces from to...

Buy Lynx Headband, get Rose is a Rosé for free. Add both to cart and you’ll only be charged for one pattern.

No wallflowers here! Got Handspun? This is one in-your-face rose. Knits in minutes from small amounts of fabulous yarn.

Got Handspun Art Yarn? Wondering what to do with it? Here’s a simple pattern that looks awesome in all sorts of textured and interesting yarns. It’s written for bulky yarn and US 15 needles, but there are so many variables. Takes very little yardage. Two separate scarflets are joined while knitting second scarflet. Very easy. Make it for the ya...

Blythe Spirit is a lacy, light hearted, knitted mobius wrap that combines stockinette and lace knitting with a chunky crocheted edging. Pattern is for intermediate (experienced) knitters. Knitting skills required: stockinette st, lace knitting, crochet, with optional kitchener stitch. Top photos are shown in Madelinetosh Chunky in Opaline (4 sk...

I wrote this little pattern as a practical sampler for my handspinning classes. Learn entrelac in the round and use your handspun at the same time. It’s very fun to knit and it’s size is only determined by the size of needles and yarn you chose. It’s a small bowl as shown, about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and about 4 inches tall. It stands up ver...

This pattern comes with instructions for a heavy worsted weight version (top photo) and a sportweight version. The third photo from top shows an active twist flower embellishment. I just love these cuffs and have made several pairs. I even layer them. They never get in the way when I type, spin or knit and because they are non restrictive, they...

This easy one-size romantic, textured mobius wrap sports a lettuce edge. Circular-knit float surrounds a straight-knit colorblock center panel. Basic stitches make the most of textured yarns. I designed this mobius specifically for Three Waters Farm handpainted yarns. If you don’t see the colors you want on the website, email Mary Ann and she’l...

Check out the shortie version in my projects. Makes a great gift.

Part of the tiny triangle series, this fingerless glove has a shaped thumb and triangle trim on hand, thumb and cuff. Fun to knit and even more fun to wear.

From Knitty.com: This is the ultimate after-the-fact rationalization for your fiber habit! Turn your stash of 2-4 ounce batches of fiber in different colorways -- different fibers, even -- into something that looks like you meant to make it just like this from the start!

I came up with this little bowl as an exercise for knitting entrelacs in the round for my workshops. It’s a great way to knit up handspun color samples. Finished bowl as shown was knit with DK weight two ply handspun on US 3/3.75mm needles. It’s knit very densely so that the bowl stands up in it’s full three dimensional glory. I used two differ...
