Crochet: Shawl / Wrap
Made with a large hook, this gorgeous shawl has amazing drape and a graphic look. The open lace hugs your body and holds itself in place while you go about your day.
Crochet: Cowl, Earwarmers
Simple lace in a super bulky yarn makes a cowl and ear warmers that are both elegant and warm.
Crochet: Fingerless Gloves
Warm but not bulky, these fingerless gloves feature a long cuff of fitted tweed and tweed accents that frame a scaley stitch around the palm. A slight slouch at the wrist compliments the graphic texture of the stitches.
Knitting: Cowl
A rustic cowl that can be worn around the neck or as a hood. Simple solid and lace stripes create a textured look that reminds me of fields of wheat rippling in the breeze.
Crochet: Earwarmers
This headband is incredibly easy to make and works up in an hour or two. You’ll easily get multiple headbands out of the skeins you buy for this project.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This hat uses a simple eyelet lace to produce negative space polka dots and a scaly texture. It’s perfect for beginners to lace and those who want a quick project for the weekend.
Crochet: Shawl / Wrap
This shawl is made up of a textured lace center section that is lined with lattice edging and fringe. The pattern includes a written/photo tutorial for an elegant vintage knot to secure the fringe.
Crochet: Legwarmers
Using a simple lace pattern, these knee-high leg warmers increase to go around the calf before decreasing to form a smaller band that holds the leg warmer in place. This gives them a fitted look that is sophisticated and functional. Great for over jeans, tights or leggings.
