The Maypole Wrap makes the most of contrasting colours. Each band of colour dovetails into the next as stripes of garter stitch are pulled into waves by the lace motifs in between.

A ring of flowers sits amongst bands of green leaves on this cosy beanie.

This easy shawl pattern is ideal for using up leftover yarn from your stash.

The Holgate Beanie is a unisex design with a gently slouchy shape. Knitted using the fair-isle (stranded) technique this is ideal for anyone new to fair-isle as well as the experienced.

Starflower is a slouchy style beret knitted in the round and fits an adult woman.

This scarf uses 4 skeins of Noro Kureyon, but if you prefer a longer scarf you can use 5.

This is a reversible beanie with two different but equally attractive sides.

This is a simple two row repeat that makes a reversible fabric. Both sides look good but are different - one is more ribbed and the other is more lacy/pebbled.

This tea cosy can be made to fit a large (8-10 cup) or a medium (4-6 cup) teapot. If in doubt, make the medium size cosy (unless you are sure your teapot is enormous).
