den Arend’s striking feature is the spiraling panel of cables working its way down to the brim. This is a top-down hat that can be made to any length; the spare design makes it a unisex pattern. The yarn color, I believe, is what makes this hat masculine or feminine.

A simple project, doable in a weekend. It’s a loosely-knit scarf based on the drop stitch. There are many variations of the drop stitch scarf published on the web. This particular one uses Patons Divine and makes a decent-sized scarf.

The Sequoyah Shawl is knit from the neck down using basic techniques to create an arresting textured shawl. The pattern of Stockinette, purl ridges, and lace is reminiscent of tree rings: how annual changes in the environment influence the thickness and texture of each growth ring. This half-circle shawl is knit in Charlemont, a soft wool blend...
