Knitting: Baby Blanket
A baby blanket with just the right amount of texture for both interest in stitching and softness for baby.
Knitting: Scarf
Sample shown in the recommended yarn, but the pattern can be used for many yarn weights--gorgeous in variegated yarns! For a fairly solid-looking scarf, use the needle size recommended on the ball band of your chosen yarn. Go up a couple of needle sizes for a lacier-looking scarf.
Knitting: Ankle Sock
Grecian Formula socks look especially nice when made with one solid and one variegated/semi-solid yarn. The socks feature a Greek Key mosaic pattern offset with simple stripes.
