This scarf is a delightful project to knit with gradient or self-striping yarn. It calls for two different colorways of a gradient yarn, striped against each other, for a dramatic effect. Sections of knit and purl garter stitch add texture and interest to the stripes.

This kerchief is knit from the center out, using short rows to produce the sunburst wedge stripes in alternating colors.

This hat is a little geeky, just like Daruma Geek yarn, so they are a perfect match for each other! A simple cable wanders its own path amidst rib columns.

I was inspired by Close Knit’s popular and stunning Noromania blanket to create a log cabin style self striping blanket. This blanket is the best kind of TV knitting, since halfway through the project, it already functions as a blanket to keep you warm while you knit.

This pattern contains instructions and a photo tutorial to knit afterthought heels, toes, and cuffs onto a machine-knit 60- or 72-stitch tube.

I knit this pattern using six mini skeins, but it would also look great in a single skein of variegated (or solid color) yarn. A stripe effect could also be achieved by using highly contrasting colors next to each other.

I was inspired by the shape and color of a hard hat, and challenged myself to design a stylish version of one. Although it won’t keep you safe at a construction site, it will certainly keep you warm!

This cowl is knitted as a tube and seamlessly joined.

There are lots of garter bias variations; this is my version. I love making this style of blanket with big color blocks or skinny stripes. It’s also a satisfying project for odds and ends of yarn.

Mrs. Skerrett, the queen’s dresser on Masterpiece Theatre’s “Victoria,” was my inspiration for this scarf. Like her, it strikes a balance between elegance and playfulness, with the lace chevrons forming the shape of giant knit stitches.

Three garter stripe triangles are knit separately, then joined to each other with three interlocking triangles, resulting in a high impact design.

This hat has just the right amount of colorwork, and is a perfect opportunity to play with color. It’s perfect for using up odds and ends of yarn.

These mitts are a quick knit with a playful and bold lace pattern. They’ll keep you warm on a brisk day, in a cold office, or on a bicycle. They’re a great one-skein project & would be a wonderful gift.

This hat is a mix of two colors knit in a mix of merino and cashmere - a perfect wintery mix!

This lightweight summer scarf is knit on the bias at a loose gauge with eyelet sections to add visual interest.

Keep warm with this lightweight cowl worked on the bias in a slipped stitch pattern. It’s also a great way to use small amounts of yarn left over from previous projects!

Inspired by the train between Portland and Seattle, this hat is a perfect travel project in any season! The stranded colorwork keeps the pattern interesting and produces a warm fabric that isn’t too bulky.

These socks are striped in a variety of colors to represent hikes taken this summer. Each round represents one mile hiked, and each color represents a different hiking region. Neutral rounds will separate the hiking stripes for each other and the ribbed cuff, heel, and toe will be in the neutral color.

These mitts are inspired by the train ride between Portland and Seattle. They’re a perfect travel project, and will certainly keep your hands warm wherever you end up!

This hat will keep you warm whether you’re out in the snow or simply dreaming of it. Cables add a thick, cozy texture and visual interest.

Keep yourself warm and stylish in this cozy hat. Daisy stitch provides an interesting texture to show off variegated or solid yarns alike. Made with just one skein of a bulky yarn, it would be a quick knit for a gift or for yourself this winter!

Keep toasty warm with this cozy cowl. Daisy stitch shows off variegated yarn or adds interest to a classic solid color.
