Yarn needed for this hat:

This double knit cowl has simple lines and regular shapes to make your first double knitting project easy to follow.

Here’s a pattern that I wrote up as a way for my students to practice Continental Knitting. It starts with a few rows of garter stitch, then moves on to incorporate purling, yarn overs, and simple decreases in a lace chevron motif.

This pattern is a very simple garter ridge cowl with stripes. It’s perfect to get an appealing contrast between two different weights of single-ply yarns. The bulky weight is held on its own, and the worsted weight is held double.

Try this basic mitten if you have small or big hands! Simple modifications in the thumb increases make for a perfect fit for everyone.

Make these cozy winter cuffs an accessory with a 3/4 length shirt! This is a great way to practice your fair isle in the round, as you can make 4 or 5 cuffs out of two balls of Lima.

Make this your first sock ever, or you first try at Magic Loop socks! Knit in worsted weight using size 3 or 4 needles, this is the sock I wish I had knit the first time a tackled such a project.

This is a fully reversible ribbed scarf with simple reversible cables along the edges to give it a ‘fluted piecrust’ effect -- a great way to get started with cables and to wrap your head around a ‘good on both sides’ technique.

This hat is knit in the round; instructions are available in both chart and written form. A perfect hat for someone just starting cables.
