I used one skein of manos yarn and found a left over contrast color for the pom pom. There is enough manos in one skein if you want a matching pom pom instead.

This striped ribbed hat is a quick knit. We knit it flat, as we find the stripes line up better when sewing as opposed to knitting in the round. It keeps your ears nice and warm!

This is a simple hat, knit in the round. The small size took just one ball of the beautiful Blue Sky Alpacas, Suri Merino. It knits up quickly - so there is still time to make one before winter is over. I wear mine every day!

This chunky neck warmer is a quick, easy knit. The pattern has instructions to knit the neck warmer either in the round or on straight needles. If you make it with two colors, you can make two neck warmers - switching the top and bottom colors. I used a #13 needle to get the gauge. It only took an hour or so to knit up and boy does it keep me w...

This blanket will add texture and color to babies room or a stroller. Go a step beyond and add a fun and soft fabric to the back. This is a simple blanket to knit. Perfect for beginner-intermediate knitters.

This is a great cabled hat pattern. It looks difficult but is so easy. It is an excellent beginner cable project. Instructions are written for working flat or in the round. I used cashmere because I was feeling indulgent (and boy is it warm) - but a nice merino wool like Zara or Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran works equally well for a fraction of ...

This is a great cardigan for any young child. It was one of our most popular patterns at The Yarn Co and I made one for each of my kids when they were born and have made this sweater countless times as a baby gift. Picking the colors is half the fun - very easy to tailor it to a boy or a girl or an “i don’t know!” If you have trouble increasing...

This earflap hat is sure to keep you warm this winter. We held the yarn double and worked it flat - you need to seam it up the back BUT this way the stripes line up perfectly - no jog.

I added a little zip to this simple summer cardi by putting a cute edging at the bottom of the body and sleeves. I created the edging by simply wrapping the yarn around the needle twice and then dropping the extra wraps in the next row.

This is a fun v-neck pullover. It has a nice swing to it - and is very simple to knit. If you are not using the Berroco Origami, be sure to use a yarn that had a little drape.

I made this skirt for my daughter Zoe and she loved it so much that she requested a second one in yellow! I made that one in Koigu, kpppm. The lace pattern is only a two row repeat, so it is pretty simple - good for a beginner who wants to tackle a first lace project. I knit the skirt in the round - so there is no seaming except for when you se...

This neck warmer looks great and keeps your neck nice and cozy. Pull it up over your head on those extra chilly days and you’ll stay toast warm and look fashionable too.

This is another cute idea we scoped out on Madison Avenue. It is a balaclava - kind of like a face mask that protects you from the cold on those really frigid days. And if it warms up a bit - just roll it up and it’s an adorable hat! This is a super quick project and lots of fun to wear.

We used one strand of Filatura di Crosa, Superior and two strands of Koigu, Kpppm. The superior gives the shawl a wonderful, luscious softness. It is a great wrap to make you cozy in the winter mo...

We saw a hat that looked like this in Barneys on Madison Avenue selling for $200! We thought to ourselves “We could make that for a fraction of the cost!” And we did! It’s a fun hat - and a super fast one to make!

These pillows look great in all sorts of color combos. I made them years ago and still love them! I did not put my own zipper in - but sent it to a pillow person to have it put in correctly since I am not much of a sewer. Needelpoint stores will often provide a pillow-making service.

This 3/4” sleeve pullover sweater with the simple detailing along the borders was my go to sweater this spring/summer. I threw it on whenever I got a chill and it looked and felt great. Simple but stylish - it looked great with jeans or a nice black skirt.

This blanket is fun and easy to knit. It is just a simple slip stitch pattern, so you are only knitting with one color at a time to get this great look. It also looks good on both sides. Pick fun colors for a funky blanket or more subtle colors for a more traditional one. Either way, the lucky baby (and mom) will love it!

This is a fun blanket to make. It is the same pattern as our polka dot blanket but made in a chunkier yarn for those who need to move things along a little quicker and prefer knitting on a size 10 needle as opposed to a size 7!

This is a great way to learn cables. The scarf is basically a simple rib pattern with two rows of basic cabling. It’s super easy but looks like you did a lot of hard work.

Buy 3 different colors of yarn and make 3 adorable hats, each with a little flair all it’s own. I used up pretty much all my yarn making these three hats - so don’t leave long tails!

This basic hat is knit back and forth and then seamed. Feel free to knit it in the round, just make all even rounds a knit round.

This hat pattern is knit back and forth - for those who don’t like to go onto double pointed needles. It can certainly be worked in the round for those who prefer to do so - just work all even rounds as a knit round. Also, we used the Bel Air yarn held double. If you use a single strand you can just halve the necessary yardage.

This dot scarf is fun to knit once you get used to dropping your stitches down four rows. It has a great, sophisticated look in black and white but bright colors add a little bit of fun.

I love this blanket. It is so much fun to knit. My daughter loves it too - she sleeps with it every night. Once again, choosing colors is a big part of the project. I choose a funky, fun combination of hot pink, orange and white with a bright green trim. I’ve seen it done in pastels for those who like more traditional baby colors and in more so...

This tie shrug is a great staple for any wardrobe. It looks great tied up or just hanging loose. We did it in the beautiful Euroflax Linen and it gets softer and drapier with each wash and dry. We’ve also done it in mohair if you’d like a winter version.
