This is a large bandana style cowl. Even though the blocks of color look fantastic, it is very simple to knit with short rows in garter stitch, you won’t even need to pick up the wraps!

This is a crescent shaped shawl. It is very meditative because of the many rows of simple garter stitch, at the same time, the increase rows bring interest to the knitting. Finally, the wide border of conjoint ellipses in a contrasting color adds fun and makes the shawl a statement piece. Even though the border looks fantastic, it is very simpl...

The sample for this pattern was knitted using a mini skein set by Serial Knitters Dye House. The colors remind me of the leaves transitioning from spring into summer and fall.

This pattern contains two projects:

My daughter was gifted a Wellie Wishers doll for her seventh birthday. Immediately, we were both thinking about little cute garments I could knit for her.

This shawl has a boomerang style shape with one arm being longer than the other. It is a simple 4 row repeat, interesting enough to not get bored but with lots of garter stitch to make it great tv or social knitting. It requires 3 skeins of DK yarn in 3 different colors. I chose a gradient from light gray to dark purple but any 3 colors with en...

This bulky hat was inspired by chilly days spent playing outside in the Pacific Northwest with ones’ kids. A relatively easy yet interesting knit, the moderate cabling adds both a touch of warmth and style.

This cowl pattern was inspired by the beautiful creations from Cedar House Yarns. I wanted to combine one of their speckled yarns with a matching contrasting color. With the skeins in my hands, I did a bit of stitch dictionary surfing and I could not be happier with the results.

I designed this shawl specifically for gradient yarns, but any yarn would work. Since you knit until almost all your yarn is used, it can be an ideal pattern for handspun.

This is a simple asymmetric triangular shawl that makes the most of your self-striping or handspun yarn, because you knit until all the yarn is used up.

This pattern was first released for the 2017 LYS Tour by Acorn Street Shop.

This is a slouchy hat with a subtle chevron pattern made with knit and purls for an interesting texture.

There seems to be a new trend of speckle yarn everywhere. They are fun and playful. I wanted to create a design that will make the most of how special these colorways are. Start with a speckled skein, choose your favorite “pop” color and use that as your main color. So many possibilities!

Lluna means Moon in Catalan. It seemed a fitting name for this crescent shaped shawlette. It starts by just casting on four stitches and working a garter tab. The body is made with simple sections of garter stitch and stockinette stitch eyelets. Finally, a knitted on edge adds a fun and stylish border detail.

This is a conical frustum shaped cowl that resembles the shape of the yoke of a sweater. Sections of garter and stockinette stitch give this accessory texture. The eyelets add interest as well as serve the purpose of increasing the number of stitches. Short rows add depth to the front.

Aloft yarn was the inspiration for this shawl. The yarn’s beautiful halo makes ombre effects easy to accomplish. All that is needed is working with multiple strands and switching colors one strand at a time.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just cast on three stitches and start making a hat? No swatch required! This hat can be knitted with ANY yarn in ANY gauge. The only requirements are that you measure the head circumference (HC) and from the bottom of one ear over the top of the head to the bottom of the other ear (ETE).

This light, cozy cowl is a fast and simple knit, but the use of color creates interesting stripes with an hombre effect. It is worked with three strands held together, starting with a provisional cast on and worked in stockinette stitch on the bias. The ends are grafted together when all the yarn is used up, making the most of your yarn budget.

I just love the look of twisted travelling stitches over a reverse stockinet background. That simple yet elegant look is what inspired this beautiful hat.

At six months pregnant I started feeling an urge to knit things for my future daughter. This is what I thought would be a cute hat for her to wear when she comes home from the hospital.

The inspiration for this simple design came from three places: the Magic Three-Yarn Scarf by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas; Elizabeth Zimmermann’s love for seamless garter stitch pieces and my dislike for left over half skeins.

Elizabeth Zimmermann invented I-Cord. I am a huge fan of her approach to knitting and patterns. I had a left over skein of a super bulky yarn, I was trying to find something easy and fast to do with it and this simple idea came to me.
