This fun design is a little trickier than it looks. It has intarsia on one side, stranded knitting on the other and some I-Cord to pull it all together. You’ll get plenty of practice with bobbins and tension (and weaving ends, oh my!) while making this eye-popping pillow.

While the information contained is fairly thorough, it is presented in a way that might appear abbreviated. It is my hope that by attaching helpful links at the end of the pattern, knitters will be able to “round out” the...

This 12-square afghan is being created as a Mystery Knit-A-Long for the K.O.M. Rivers Knitting Guild. It is intended to expand the knitter’s repertoire with more challenging knitting techniques.

This fun hood is roomy but warm. It is very easy to make and uses basic techniques.

Gauge not important. Makes a scarf approximately 7” x 60”.

Since this is for a scarf, gauge doesn’t really matter. I’ve crocheted this using single crochet and carried the yarn throughout the color changes.

UPDATED CHARTS This is a chart I designed for an Afghan I donated to a charity auction. The winning recipient requested a tiger-paw motif for her son’s high school team, Wirt County (WV) Tigers.
