Knitting: Cowl
Snows Creek Cowl employs a simple but interesting pattern to show off a lone skein of gorgeous handspun. The piece can be worn long, draped around the neck, or doubled over for extra warmth. Horizontal garter ridges break up the vertical lines of the lace rib, while adding visual interest. Furthermore, a short vertical pattern repeat means litt...
Knitting: Cowl
Mill Creek Cowl is perfect for a quick and easy gift wearable in any season. It is an excellent stashbusting project for leftover sock yarn, as it uses up about 250 yards of yarn. Make it wider by adding additional repeats of the 10-stitch lace pattern, shorten or lengthen it as needed, depending on what you have in stash. For more variety, tur...

In the XS child-size mitten, like in the song, there are twelve ladybugs, although the larger sized mittens have fifteen ladybugs. The mittens feature a picot cuff and red and black braid at the cuff, a peasant thumb, and a rounded top. The ladybugs are...

Knitting: Pullover
The body and sleeves of the garment are knit in the round to the armholes, after which point the knitting is done back and forth. The only seaming required is the sewing in of the sleeve cap. The shoulders are joined by a three-needle bind-off, the underarm stitches are grafted together, and stitches are picked up around the neck for the neckli...
Knitting: Mittens
These fully lined, Scandinavian-styled mittens can be completed quickly due to the heavier gauge. The outer mitten features a peasant thumb, while the inner mitten has a keyhole thumb that allows the wearer to retain some thumb dexterity!

Knitting: Scarf
This Scandinavian-styled scarf is made in the round as a tube, its ends grafted together in the finishing process. Symmetrical about the center point, it is comprised of many very simple peeries of small repeats, along with a few more complicated snowflake and XOXO peeries.
Knitting: Pullover, Cardigan
Knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up, this simple, versatile, women’s pullover/cardigan pattern features a classic XOXO stranded pattern in the 6-color yoke, with stars occupying the lozenge positions. The main color (charcoal) fades out to nearly white within the stranded pattern while, at the same time, a light purple darkens towar...

This cute little cropped sweater is a perfect quick knit for little tykes. The smallest size can be completed in a single afternoon! The single button closure makes this an easy garment to get on and off. As an added bonus, the large button gives toddlers good practice putting on and taking off their own clothes. Since the cardigan is meant to ...
Knitting: Cardigan
This jacket will be a little long the first winter, worn with the sleeves cuffed. The next winter, it should fit as a sweater might, with the sleeves uncuffed. Both the cabled and the twisted 1×1 ribs have incredible stretch and will expand to fit a growing child’s arms and belly. The sleeves are completed first, then joined to the body. The bo...
Knitting: Cardigan
This cardigan is knit from the bottom up in the round and then steeked open. Only feltable wools with plenty of grip should be used for steeking purposes. Neither superwash wools nor plant or synthetic fibers will hold.
