Knitting: Cape
This is an easy pattern for a warm winter cape. Detailed instructions on how to resize it are included. You may use any yarn and needles you’d like to make it the size you want.
Knitting: Scarf
I have made the Latu hat many times, and a friend wanted a matching scarf, so this pattern was born. There are instructions for garter and seed stitch versions, and it’s suitable for advanced beginners to veteran knitters. It’s easily adjustable to any size and yarn and needles by adding more border stitches or center pattern.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque, Cowl
This hat and cowl are an easy construction that looks harder than it is. They’re written for one size (child) but are easily made bigger or smaller by adding or removing pattern repeats. It’s a multiple of 12 stitches and 10 rounds.
Knitting: Scarf
This scarf is the companion to the Lina hat by Johanna of Joko Knits. I adjusted the original pattern for flat knitting so that you can make a scarf instead of a hat or cowl. It incorporates twisted stitches, including on the purl side. The p1tbl seems daunting at first, but quickly becomes easier once you get the hang of it.

When I refer to the Undertaker, I’m not talking about the wrestler. Mine is from the Black Butler / Kuroshitsuji anime and manga by Yana Toboso. When you first meet him, he’s dark and weird, and is often underestimated. Some people even say that he’s insane. However, as the story progresses, he turns out to be a legendary reaper / shinigami. Al...

Knitting: Ankle Sock
My favorite slipper socks that my now deceased aunt had given me years ago finally developed holes after years of wearing them to death. I looked all over the internet for something similar and couldn’t find anything, so I decided I should try to make my own. These slipper socks are super warm and cushy for the cold winters we have here in Kans...
Knitting: Electronics Cozy
This is an easy, very memorizable six round pattern for an electronics case. Add or remove purl stitches to make it fit your device. Only a small amount of fingering weight yarn is required (less than 200 yards), but you could also up the needle size to use a thicker yarn. Thanks to artiesgirl for testing! :)
Knitting: Electronics Cozy
I created a case to fit my Kindle Paperwhite, but this pattern can be easily adapted to fit other devices by using larger or smaller needles or adding or removing twisted rib stitches. This pattern features a twisted rib and an easy to memorize central staghorn cable pattern.
