This is a pretty easy pattern with the colors doing all the work. If you sometimes get bored by endless rows of stockinet stitch, the stripes break that up nicely.

This shawl fits nicely. You can add a button in front and on the inside of the points to add “sleeves”.

A quick cowl with a lot of texture. Directions are for two sizes, one with a little drape.

A simple pattern with a lot of texture, written in 3 sizes. Small is 22”, Medium is 28”, and Large is 44”. It has a slight zig zag edge and works well in various yarns. In the heavier aran weight Osprey, the eyelets give it some drape.

A drapey cowl worked in the round, with hemmed edges that are secured as part of the knitting and cast-off. It can be made smaller or larger, to change the style or use different weight yarn, by using more or fewer pattern repeats.

The center is adapted from a circle in Nicky Epstein’s book, Knitting in Circles.

This is a shape that stays on well and I’ve added buttons, one in front and two others that create sleeves.

This bag can be made from different weight yarns. Don’t use anything very stretchy.
