This simple slipped stitch colorwork technique is easier than it looks! Only one strand of yarn is used at a time, and the yarn not in-use gets carried up every 2 rounds when switching between colors.

Suitable for a knitter with basic skills, this garter stitch cowl is worked on the diagonal using a simple kfb (knit front & back) increase and k2tog (knit 2 together) decrease. Uses a provisional cast on to seam it with a 3-needle bind off, but you can also use a standard cast on and sew the edges together.

This classy hat is knit in a k3, p1 ribbing to start; then continues on larger needles in stockinette stitch. “Nube” is a Spanish word meaning ‘cloud,’ and, like a cloud, Katia Nube yarn is lightweight and super soft---one couldn’t ask for a nicer material to keep your head warm!

There’s just enough pattern to challenge new knitters and, with the addition of a big, bright pom pom (...

This cowl has a sophisticated look and cool texture, and it takes only one skein of super bulky yarn. (We used Malabrigo Rasta, but it would be equally nice-looking with Mirasol Ushya, Gedifra Perulana or Katia Nube). It follows a not-too-difficult 4-row pattern for the main section, followed by a 7-row buttonhole band to finish. Use size US 17...

Here it is---a cute, easy, knitting-in-the-round-from-the-bottom-up baby hat. We used Araucania Yumbrel DK yarn, a colorfully variegated hand-painted, washable cotton yarn---perfect for babies. You can, of course, choose another dk weight yarn for this fun project.
