This is the same pattern as my 2x2 ribbed hat (recently uploaded) but in a lighter yarn weight, therefore the name.

As a thank you gesture for your support of my projects throughout this past year, here are a couple of quick and easy patterns for you to make for your friends and family. They are beginner-friendly, small and easy to make. I’m sure that you will enjoy making them as much as I did. All the very best in 2025!

This project uses four balls of Luxuria Zealana Air yarn. You can also use any fingering yarn that you have on hand, and can make the scarf longer and wider if you wish.

It’s the beginning of spring and these green socks are a perfect pair for the season. The socks feature knit-and-purl stitches that form spiralling pathways.

These socks have little squares on them for a nice, simple texture that keeps you interested. They are beginner friendly.

Autumn is here and so is the start of sock season. Knit a pair of socks with a simple stitch pattern to give them some personality and to elevate your look every time you put them on.

If you always wanted to try colour-work but it looked intimidating, this project is a great introduction to it. It is stranded colorwork where you work with two colours at the same time, alternating them to create different designs (in this case polkadots). There are only three rows of dots, so not much colour-work to do.

This project is fairly easy to make. It is a custom knit top where you determine your size by using your measurements, gauge and chosen yarn, since you are custom knitting.

This is a custom knit slipover where you determine your size by using your measurements, gauge and the chosen yarn.

There are many different heel techniques and styles. One of the more popular ones is the boomerang heel (also called a German short row heel) because it resembles how a commercial heel looks.

This project is great for those one-of-a-kind skeins that you might have lying around.

Here is another pattern based on my ‘village socks.’ If you have knitted my ‘village socks’ before then this project will be easy to do.

Here’s a little holiday gift for you, for supporting my designs throughout this past year. I look forward to creating more designs in 2023.

This quick project uses only 50 grams of yarn. You can use any fingering or sport yarn that you have.

This shawl consists of three different sections and two colours.

I love cowls; they’re so easy and versatile to wear, and never slip from your neck. This one is quick to make and has an easy-to-memorize pattern.

This is a custom knit hat. You will knit it according to your head measurements to get the best fit for you.

This is a custom knit toque. You will knit it according to your head measurements to get the best fit for you.

This is a custom knit beanie that is knitted according to your head measurements. You can use any yarn that you have since you will be using your measurements to calculate the number of stitches to cast on.

This cowl is fairly easy to knit but I have labelled it as intermediate since it has a provisional cast on and kitchener bind off.

Summer is still here, but why not start thinking about the fall and fall knits. This is an easy-to-do project that knits quickly and it will be great for cool autumn evenings.

This shawl is fairly easy to knit. I have labeled it as intermediate because of the garter tab cast on. If you know how to do a garter tab cast on, then it will be fairly easy for you to knit.

Boba shawl is knitted flat in one piece and it has three sections. Two sections are done in stockinette, while the middle section is done in lace.

This is a custom-knit hat.

This is a very simple pattern that is ideal for beginners. I made it for a friend who likes simple designs. It’s very easy to knit and has a nice texture. The scarf is reversible.

Here’s a little holiday gift for you, for supporting my designs throughout this past year. I look forward to creating more designs in 2022.

“Blushed Grey” is a classic winter shawl that has a modern twist to it. It has a nice shade of pink that is trending this season, and wraps around a heathered grey section.

This is a custom-knit hat. You will knit it according to your head measurements to get the best fit for you, using a simple formula.

Autumn has finally arrived, full of beautiful colours and crisp air. It’s time for long walks in nature, wearing nice and cozy knits.

This yarn beautifully highlights some of the national parks in Canada, so I wanted to showcase the colours of the yarn more than any stitch pattern.

A timeless and classic striped shawl with a twist. You can knit this project using two colours as suggested or you can mix and match yarn from your stash. I bought the yarn in 2016 at ‘Art of Yarn’ in Kelowna, BC, when I was on a business trip, but didn’t know what to knit with this until now. I think the design works beautifully.

I received this lovely yarn as a gift from my knitting friend Louise a while ago, but I couldn’t decide what to knit with it.

No matter what you pair this lovely tee with, you will always look chic in it.

I named this shawl “Anthracite and lavender” because it looks like shiny coal but is so luxurious that it needed a fancier name, therefore this beautiful word for a type of coal.

Cowls are fun to knit and in no time one has a finished object. This cowl is one of those cowls, which makes it a great gift.

I love when the first leaves appear in the spring, bursting out of their buds and the whole landscape looking beautiful. I tried to capture that magical feeling with this crescent shawl knitted in two shades of green.

This is a custom-knit hat. You will knit it according to your head measurements to get the best fit for you, using a simple formula. Once you figure out your size, you can make many hats with different stitch patterns and they will always fit you perfectly.

I started this project last year so, technically, I can’t say it’s the first project of the year. The first project of the year will be coming at the end of January, so come back and check that one out.

Enjoy this free pattern as a thank you gift for supporting my designs this past year. I look forward to creating more designs next year.

This vest is a fairly easy project. It is knitted on 7 mm needles flat using bulky yarn, and seamed at the sides and shoulders.

Everyone needs a colourful shawl for the autumn season. Wearing this one, you will feel as if you are curled up in your favorite blanket.

I love pinstripe skirts (they are so classic) - and I wanted to knit one that would resemble the style. I love the way it turned out and it fits me really well.

This cowl is made in 100% silk and it is great for cool summer or early fall days. It is knitted flat, folded in half and sewn at the cast-on and bind-off edges.

This light and airy shawl is a great summer accessory for cool evening nights. The shawl has a 4 stitch garter border on each side and the lace pattern is easy to remember.

This cowl has a rolled edge on each side, and is knitted flat and seamed together. It consists of a two row repeat where one row is a purl row so you basically need to remember only one row.

You can knit this project using one colour or you can mix and match yarn from your stash.

When I was young, my mother made me a linen shift dress with a square neckline. Ever since then I wanted a knitted top with a square neck. I love square necklines, and now they are on all the fashion runways.

This project is great for those bits and pieces of yarn that you don’t know what to do with. You can use any colours that you like for this project (a minimum of two colours are needed).

This pattern contains info. for two hats, Cranapple and Treely.

A timeless and classic shawl with a twist - this is a beautiful shawl that can be wrapped around twice or worn long over your coat or jacket.

Spring is almost around the corner, and this is the perfect project to work on.

I finished this tee a long time ago but didn’t have a chance to write up the pattern until now. I hope I didn’t omit anything in the instructions since the project has been written up from memory - but hopefully the instructions are clear.

This pattern contains info. for two cowls, Fjord and Tannat. The Tannat cowl is made in Alegria Grande yarn (one skein), while the Fjord cowl is made in two different yarns held together (Shibui Silk and Shibui Cima).

This project is great for using some of your stash or one ball/skein yarn that you have lying around.

This project is great for using some of your stash or one ball/skein yarn that you have lying around. The whole shawl is done in slip-stitch using three different colour combinations.

I made this vest for my nephew last winter but didn’t get a chance to photograph it or write the pattern up until now.

A long time ago I saw some lovely stained glass windows and liked the shapes, so I wanted to make a shawl with that design for a long time.

I made this cowl for my friend Lise, therefore the name.

This is a custom tailored sleeveless top made to your own body measurements. It is knitted flat, bottom up, and is a great project for beginners. You can make it as loose or as tight-fitting as you like (as long as you have enough yarn).

This is a quick and easy project to do, especially for people who are learning to knit.

This is another of my projects that I completed a while ago, but only had a chance to write up the instructions now.

I made this scarf for a friend a long time ago but only recently had a chance to write up a pattern for it (hope I didn’t forget any details).

I made this skirt quite a while ago, but I didn’t have a chance to write the proper pattern down until now. If you ever wanted to knit a skirt and have a perfect fit, look no further.

While this is a cowl, it can also be made into a scarf. When you knit a cowl, finish with row 4 of the pattern, and if you’re knitting a scarf, finish with row 8.

The pdf for this project includes both a cowl and hat. It’s quick and easy to make both and you can make them in a couple of days using 280 m or 306 yards (for all three sizes).

You can make this scarf in one solid colour or colour combinations of your choice.

This is the same pattern stitch as my ‘Stormy Bluz’ scarf. It is very easy and quick to make.

This cowl is knitted in the round using a provisional cast on and kitchener stitch bind off.

This cowl is easy to make and has a special edging. It is very soft and cozy around the neck. It only takes two skeins or 350 meters of yarn to knit.

This project was supposed to be my summer top but took a while to finish since I had to rip it twice, but finally the third time it worked. It’s hard to do a project when you don’t have enough yarn. Hope I get to wear it at least a couple of times before the cold weather starts.

In order to do this shawl, you need to know how to do a garter tab cast-on. I have explained this instruction and also included a diagram (that I think will be helpful), but if you need more help you can always search on YouTube or Google.

This is a fairly easy snood to make, once you get the hang of it. The only part that’s a bit tricky is when you knit three stitches and pass the first one over the other two, but once you do that a few times it becomes easy.

This vest is knitted flat. It uses two 100 g balls (200 m/218 yds) in super bulky weight. It’s very simple and quick to make since it’s knitted on 12 mm (US 17) needles.

This is a quick and easy project, knitted flat and seamed at the ends. If you want, you can do a provisional cast-on and bind off using the kitchener stitch. Either way, it works well.

I made this hat for my nephew’s birthday, but I was in a hurry so I never wrote the pattern down until today.

This is a very easy scarf to make. It consists of one row repeat just like my previous pattern Aleksa (different row repeat though), and it’s knitted on 8 mm / US11 size needles.

I made two hats like this, for charity. One is with a pompom, the other is not. This is a quick and easy hat to do, in about one hour (if you are a fast knitter), or two hours (if you are a slower knitter).

This is a top-down vest knitted in the round. I only have one size in the pattern (medium/large), but it’s really easy to figure out other sizes by multiplying your stitches per inch by your chest measurement.

This is a one-row lace shawl (rectangle shape) that knits up quite quickly. It is knitted on 8 mm / US11 size needles and it works well with variegated and hand-dyed yarns to solid-coloured ones. When knitted up, it is so soft and fluffy.

This is a great project to make as a gift or for yourself. You can make it in one day. I call the project Evening Haze Beret because of the nice purple shades in one of the berets that I gave to my friend. I made the blue and orange berets for myself.

I got this yarn as a gift from my knitting friend Louise. I always wanted to make an asymmetrical shawl and this was a perfect yarn for it. I like the way the colours change, and the different thicknesses of this yarn.

I only had three balls of yarn and decided to make this cowl as a charity project. It was very quick and easy to make on a 10mm needle. It’s very warm when you wrap it twice around your neck.

This collar is made from leftover yarn. You can use any combination yarn that you have left over for this project (and you can make it as wide as you like). It uses two different types of yarn held together for the most part; for the last three inches, it uses a single-strand yarn.

This is an intermediate project but once you get the hang of it, it’s really easy to remember the steps. Only one skein of 400 metres length (437 yards) was used. The pattern consists of a multiple of four stitches but any multiple of four will do. I used the Handmaiden Sea Silk yarn but any yarn is suitable; if the yarn is thicker, the scarf w...

This is a project that’s great for beginners. The collar is made with two different colours. You can use any yarn that you like for the collar, as long as the colours complement each other. Use a nice decorative pin or broach to close the collar. This pattern is also available in the Serbian language.

This is a project that’s fun for beginners. You can use any yarn that you like for the scarf, but I recommend a lighter coloured yarn to show off the stitch pattern better. I used Manos del Uruguay yarn (a silk/wool blend, hand-dyed, with subtle colour variations like the Mediterranean sea, therefore the name).

This is a quick and easy project and looks beautiful when finished. You only need one skein of each colour for this. The scarf is made in wool and cotton yarn. This pattern is also available in the Serbian language.

This is a project that’s ideal for beginners. The scarf is made in bamboo yarn. You can use any yarn that you like for the scarf. This pattern is also available in the Serbian language.
