One 100 gram hank of worsted is all you need for this quick knit. Pattern includes options for unused yarn- adding to the ribbing, the lace section, or a pompom.

When my brother was a kid he couldn’t pronounce “Grandma”, or “Gram”. What came out sounded more like “Bomb.” We started spelling it B-A-U-M, and it stuck.

This is a knit along for April 2020.

Ten motifs using vertically-stranded color work, or Colors That Climb, are worked in the round to create a knitted tube that is cinched to form a hat if you wish. The original intent is to provide a learning tool to offer motifs to audition. Pick the ones you like and use them elsewhere on socks, sweaters, or a design of your choosing. This pat...

Pattern includes both written and charted instructions.

These elegant top-down mittens have shaping that makes them feel divine when worn. They are not boxy; they hug your hand. Worked from the top down in the hand and the thumb, with a thumb gusset. Left and right mittens.

Hand garment is worked in the round from the cuff toward the fingers with an afterthought thumb. Pattern is charted. Half of the rounds are stranded color work with two colors which can constrict the fabric, so be careful with tension.

Strands of contrasting colors are carried vertically from round to round to create the swirl on this lace hat. A simple two-round repeat is easy to memorize.

This pattern was released as part of a Plucky Knitter kit in March 2014. Available as download starting June 1.

In this garter stitch design, stitches knit from vertically-carried contrasting strands appear as bead-like “blips” in the fabric. Short row shaping makes a wrist and palm hugging shape. Knitter must be willing to work from a chart as instructions are not given in text row by row.

The bark pattern of the Mariposa Pine was inspiration for this cowl, knitted during a trip to Yosemite National Park.

With its reversible stitch pattern, Whoa, Nellie! can be worn as a long single-loop scarf or doubled as a roomy cowl. Loop measures 56″ (120 cm) in circumference and 8.5″ (21.5 cm) wide, but can be lengthened or shortened as per pattern instructions.

A plaid hat and mitten set. Elegant paired lifted increases are worked on hat and mittens. Color work is achieved by traditional stranding on the horizontal bits and vertical stranding on the vertical bits.

Pattern has a video tutorial here, and can only be worked on a long circular needle, 40” long.

Mitered mitts, seamlessly knit. Cozy, yet thin enough to wear while driving.

Written for your choice of fingering, worsted or bulky weight yarn. Self-stripers offer the most visual interest, but many yarns will work.

Hold yarn doubled. This pattern is not for beginners. It uses JMCO and Magic Loop knitting. It uses a 47” - 60” long circular needle size US 17 for most of you, or a US 15 if you are a loosey-goosey.
