SKILL LEVEL

Inspired by the yarn I got at a yarn swap, these pet rocks are soft, squishy, and adorable. Beginner friendly, they are quick and seamless, making them great for craft markets. I can get ten of them from one ball of Parfait Chunky, which keeps materials costs down.

A simple flap and gusset sock pattern for DK weight yarn, this is a good introduction to sock knitting. It works up quickly and makes a very squishy, cozy sock. The pattern comes in three sizes, with the medium fitting most feet.

These easy fingerless mitts don’t have a thumb, which makes them a lot faster and less fiddly to knit. They use barely any yarn and are not written for a specific method of knitting in the round.

I am autistic and I’ve had probably hundreds of fidget toys over my lifetime. This is, hands down, the absolute best type I’ve ever had. Simplistic in its design, the marble encased in crochet fabric is a silent, satisfying fidget used by sliding the marble around in the fabric.

This is a true afterthought heel (i.e., it is a cut-in heel).
