All the Christmas collections in one place.

Mitts - mostly fingerless

quick and easy bandanas

Usually worked bottom up

Ravellenic-related patterns

Price or free shows under photo
If no price shows, it means it’s part of a collection.

These start with just a few stitches and work out to the widest point.

no need to swatch
deeper than a boomerang
(but they need more yarn and knitting)

No Cast-on
No Bind-off

Techically you do cast on, but only a very small number of stitches (usually 3-5) but you end with just 1 and there is no sewing involved.

patterns that work well with malabrigo yarns (take a look in the projects - all have been knitted up with malabrigo)

There is a separate bundle for malabrigo freebie patterns - https://www.ravelry.com/bundles/malabrigo-freeebie-patterns

Freebie patterns for Malabrigo yarns

Long shallow shawls: more like a scarf than a traditional shawl; makes limited yardage go further.. ☺

Cushions and other items for the home

I have included a number of cowl patterns that have been used to make cushions or baskets - check the pattern pages to see examples.

Worked on the bias.

Most start with a provisional cast on and are then joined when the desired length is reached.

Cowls worked as a long strip and joined.

Most are knitted from the bottom up

sweaters and cardigans

Versatile shape - super easy to make

Some are rectangles, some have slanted ends.

Some highlights:

More boomerangs
Crescents with colourwork
Colourwheel cowl (and Samothrace Wings -shawl version)
Clever Cowl
That Nice Stitch
Doublequick
Fluff
2 mysteries - Lonely Yarn Club and Fifty Shades

The year my husband came up with the name “boomerang”

Earlier bias knit patterns without slipped stitch edge can easily be modified just by slipping the last stitch on the WS purlwise with yarn in front - this creates a more curved and neater edge (giving the characteristic boomerang shape)

Also the first Ravellenics patttern - Just Knit It - 2012

Some shawls with shaping to accomodate stockinette base.

And some to work with Kauni stripes:

lightboxes
lightwaves
lightspeed
