This pattern shows you how to knit these handwarmers in the round, no seaming, using the Magic Loop method.

This lightly fulled tea cosy makes great use of wool’s insulating properties to keep your tea toasty warm!

Barnaby is a 2x2 ribbed scarf with pockets at the ends to keep your hands warm, or possibly to carry things. (Scarf + glove + pocket = sclocket.)

A very simple wristwarmer pattern, with symmetrical vines climbing up from a button seed.

This particular toe-up pattern is simple and elegant – it’s quick to knit, and with some cables to keep you interested. The short row toe is completely seamless, the short row heel is neat and tidy. It looks snazzy in all yarns but particularly in single-coloured yarns. You should be able to use heavier yarns if you faff about with the gauge.

This little man is six inches (15 centimetres) high and delightfully roundy and squooshable. Plain as he is, he makes an excellent base for any imaginative toy.
