Named for a favorite character of mine in a popular show from the 90s, Aud is a bottom up, in the round, funnel neck pullover with adjustable body and sleeve lengths (notes provided for modifying yardage needed).

This knitting pattern is from the first issue of the print publication Making.

Super-stretchy cables and ribs hug your curves and flatter your figure with no troublesome side shaping. The deep, wide neckline scoop is flattering to busty curves, but looks just as good on the less endowed worn over a smart collared shirt. The sleeves are knit in Stockinette and are long with a snug ribbed cuff.

This cross-front cardi is knit from the top down, with raglan increases happening at the same time as the gradual neckline increases that continue to the end of the piece. I’ve formulated an increase cheat sheet, that’s available upon request, with pattern purchase. PM me for a copy.

Paprika

Indio is a lightweight tank, knit in pieces, from the bottom up. The cable and lace detail at front and back neck edges continues up the strap, lending both stability and femininity to this simple and classic tank. This versatile tank can also be worn backwards, with a higher front neck edge, and a dramatic drop in the back.

Garden Wall

Named for the hill that terminates at the tip of the peninsula of Portland, Maine, the mitten features a unique top shaping that mimics a hill mound. The simple fingerless version is an added bonus!

Yarn used:

Cilla is the older sister of my Quince pattern Hypatia, knit in DK yarn held doubled, and one piece from side to side, with a round yoke shaped entirely with short rows. The pattern employs the most convenient and common type of short row, in Stockinette stitch and always worked on the right side.

Warm and cozy, light and airy. You don’t need to be weighed down to beat the chill this winter.

The roving in these mittens isn’t thrummed or knitted, but stranded behind the yarn, creating a pretty pinstripe on the outside and quilting on the inside.

This pattern is appropriate for the knitter who has already knit in the round and worked cables. I’ve included charts and written instructions for the cables.

This cowl only uses 165 yards total of the four colors, so switch them around and make a second!

The easiest slipper sock you’ll ever knit! Knit in a thick and cozy wool to beat the winter chill. No short rows, gussets or kitchener stitch. One skein each in two of Quince’s 60+ amazing colors will make a pair of slippers up to a men’s US size 12. Knit a pair in your favorite college student’s school colors.
