Knitting: Ankle Sock, Mid-calf Socks
A striped sock in scrap-ball/scrap-skein yarn (or one of the self-striped yarns listed above), with contrast heel and twisted-rib cuff. The stripes are partially blended into one another with slip stitches. The foot and leg lengths are adjustable. The pattern includes full written instructions for a toe-up and a cuff-down version.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
A quick and simple pattern for a pair of fingerless mitts, which gives a gentle introduction to cables. A 2x2 rib cuff becomes a chunky 4x4 rib including a single cable panel. A highly customisable pattern which knitters can try on at all stages to check the size and the look. This pattern is worked in the round.
Crochet: Pillow / Cushion
This is a flexible pattern for crocheters of all abilities, using any yarn but ideally leftover yarn, in the form of a scrap ball.
