A pattern pack for the Beachwalker Skirt and Top patterns.

The advantage of top-down hats and mittens is that they are so easy to try on as you go. This set uses the bulky-weight Crater Lake, which has a soft and smooth hand that shows off the stitches beautifully. Plus, the heavy yarn makes the knitting go oh so fast!

This set provides the PDF files for the Damariscotta Mitts and coordinating Damariscotta Scarf with one easy purchase. You can complete both the mitts and the scarf with one skein of sock yarn - about 440 yards!

The design of the Enigma Machine was ingenious. Based on a substitution cypher, it used rotating disks, a system of “plugboards”, and daily changing keys to keep—or attempt to keep—German secrets safe during both 20th century World Wars.

Several patterns based on one stitch: a cowl, hat, neckwarmer, and mittens/convertible mitts/fingerless mitts.

It’s funny how seemingly simple words can evolve into different but related concepts over time. The Latin verb “lustro” referred to the circular movements priests made during a ritual purification. The word has since evolved into concepts in Italian, Spanish, Polish, and English that range from “to shine” to “a mirror” to “a five year period.”

This scarf, hat, and mittens set uses an easy twist stitch to provide texture, interest, stretch, and just plain fun to knit. The hat is a very stretchy beanie, the scarf has a keyhole design to allow for less length but more stability, and the mittens have extra twisting detail along the sides for fun and comfort. Done in a bulky alpaca/wool blend yarn, there’s plenty of time to knit up a set to keep everyone in the family toasty warm this winter!

The Payden hat, cowl, and mittens set is designed for knitters who love cabling but aren’t quite in the mood for cables AND shaping at the same time. In this set, the hat’s brim and the mittens’ cuffs are first knit flat with a bulky cable motif, then sewn into a band. Stitches for the crown and hand are picked up from the selvedge of this cabled band and knit in the round. The hat and mittens are both decreased along two sides instead of in a circle; this allows the mittens to fit more comfortably on the hand and the hat to lay flat (as well as to mimic the mittens). Instructions for the mittens are mirrored so that the seam for the cuff lays under the wrist and the cables are mirrored. The cowl is a very simple loop—but try out grafting in pattern, by starting with a provisional cast on, to hide the seam.
