Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Waterfall Socks feature the same simple twisting cables as the Waterfall Mitts, flowing smoothly from the ribbing at the cuff, and back into ribbing on the heel.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Winding Trail Hat has a folded rib brim (which you could shorten if you don’t want to fold it) flowing into winding cables that twist their way to the leaf shapes at the crown of the head.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Asteria Mitts feature a lattice of cables down the back of each hand, flowing in and out of the ribbing at each end. The pattern comes in one size but is stretchy to fit a range of hands. The cuff can easily be lengthened by working more rounds of the rib before beginning the cable pattern and thumb shaping.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Intended to match the Lakeshore Hat, the Lakeshore Mitts feature the same cable and rib pattern along the back of the hand.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Rhythmic repeating cables from brim to crown combine with stretchy ribbing on the Lakeshore Hat. A classic design that can be worn by anyone, it would also be a ideal introduction to cabling for beginners.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Feywood Hat is a slightly slouchy classic cabled hat that features small cables throughout the brim as well as the main body of the hat.
Knitting: Scarf
A classic cabled scarf, Feywood Scarf has a variety of different cable stitches to keep you interested during the knitting. Worked here in a forest green fingering weight yarn, this would be suitable for any solid or tonal color that shows off the stitch patterns.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Waterfall Mitts feature simple twisting cables (which could be worked without a cable needle), and a short cuff. Ideal for cooler days when you don’t yet need full gloves, the design was inspired by the waterfall in Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Caroline’s Skies is a long, rectangular shawl featuring scalloped edges, delicate lace and mirrored cables.
Knitting: Cowl
I started working on the Traverse Cowl while living in one state, and finished it in another, so a name that encompassed the idea of travel just seemed to fit with this pattern.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Flowing cables run along the edge of the hand for the entire length of these mitts. Make the matching set with the Cable Twist Hat and the Cable Twist Scarf
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Flowing cables run along the edge of the hand for the entire length of these mitts.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
“Fenella” is a large crescent shawl knit from the top down, with a knitted-on lace border. Fenella comes from the Celtic/Gaelic meaning “white-shouldered”, and is considered to be primarily the Scottish variant of the name, perfect for this big cosy shawl inspired by Shetland lace.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Amaranth Shawl is a triangular top-down shawl with a lace panel in the center and stockinette stitch sides, beginning from a garter tab. Short rows are used to shape the point of the triangle while maintaining the lace.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Morwen Hat features a delicately scalloped edge that forms as you knit the lace brim. The lace is a straightforward two-row repeat that is rhythmic to knit.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Ashlyn Mitts were developed because I had enough yarn remaining after making the Ashlyn Shawl sample for a pair of mitts. This uses the same lace pattern from the Ashlyn Shawl, so the two items make a lovely co-ordinating combination.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Ashlyn Shawl is a large, top-down crescent-shaped shawl featuring two complementary colors in striped sections, and a contrasting color for the lace sections. Both the stripes and the lace increase in width as the shawl grows.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
The rectangular Clover Creek Shawl is a delicate lace stole that can be worn draped elegantly across the shoulders, or wrapped as a scarf to provide more warmth.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
The Clover Creek Mitts use one of the same beautiful lace motifs as the Clover Creek Shawl, except in a fingering weight yarn.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This triangular shawl is knit from the bottom up, with a repeating eyelet lace pattern forming a series of V-shapes.
Knitting: Cowl
The Rippling Streams Cowl features a flowing lace pattern that is surprisingly straightforward to knit. It matches the Rippling Streams Mitts and would make a wonderful set when made in the same yarn.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
The lace on these mitts is deceptively simple, yet elegant, and would work well in both semi-solid and lightly variegated yarns.
Knitting: Cowl
Southcrest Cowl is a fantastic introduction to eyelet lace, which is used here to create the eye-catching spiral pattern that flows around the cowl.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Wildmoor Mitts have a cabled pattern at the wrists, flowing smoothly into ribbing that extends for the remaining length and back into the ribbing at the fingers.
Knitting: Scarf
Cable Twist Scarf uses the same cable motif as Cable Twist Hat, repeated along one edge of the scarf.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Cable Twist Hat features a ribbed brim with cabling on just a single round to add some interest. It would be a great way to try out cables that aren’t just a 2-stitch crossover.
Knitting: Cowl
Gentian Cowl forms the final part of the matching set with Gentian Mitts and Gentian Hat, in collaboration with ULA+LIA yarns.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Gentian Hat features a ribbed brim, cables and wrapped (smocking) stitches. It is knit entirely in the round. It would make an excellent introduction to cable and wrapped stitches.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Gentian Mitts feature a split cuff, cables and wrapped (smocking) stitches. The cuff is knit flat and then joined in the round to knit the rest of the mitt. They would make an excellent introduction to cable and wrapped stitches.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Reminiscent of the delicate orchid flower, these mitts are perfect for keeping away the chill of cooler autumn days.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Evoke the four-petaled flowers of the dogwood tree, with this delicate lace and cable pattern.
