Perfect for your favorite vintage coat, Someone Call A Taxi begins with a fabulous loopy cuff and moves on to a lateral braid and a check pattern reminiscent of houndstooth. The top ribbing is generous and meant to be folded down to balance the cuff and keep your fingers toasty warm. The pattern includes instructions for three sizes, and a photo tutorial for a beautiful sewn tubular bind-off.

This pattern is part of my Happy Hands & Feet, serialized eBook: one pattern per month, starting November 2023 and ending October 2024.

About my project

Welcome to my oddments project number three! (See the first one here and the second one here.)

I continue to read comments from people overrun with yarn scraps and wanting something to do with them…so I’m going to continue to put these fun little patterns out! This year, I’m focused on wearables for the wrists, hands, ankles, and feet.

They’re different weights and different colors. Some are a full skein. Some are just leftover tidbits, but you can’t throw them away! Definitely not a sweater’s worth of any one color or yarn, let alone a shawl’s worth or even a full pair of socks or mitts. You can’t imagine what to do with them, but you don’t want to part with them. Well then. Ranging from the whimsical to the more traditional, these patterns will be the friends your yarn oddments so desperately need! 12 patterns to breathe life into your scraps and let them be useful once again.

The patterns for this eBook will be delivered to subscribers within a subscription period beginning on 3 November 2023, and ending 31 October 2024, one per month. All patterns will have charts (if needed) and written instructions, and you will be able to make them out of oddments. These are small projects, not big ones: the perfect size for a cozy evening or two of stitching in front of the fire.

I’m so excited for you to join me in this little Oddment-a-Month Club! Happy knitting, my friends.
