There are so many lovely 4ply and sock yarns around and Pat and I wanted to create designs that would be easy so here is a collection of 6 designs using these lovely yarns and a very restricted stitch palate - just 3 stitches and a yarn over!

Great little fingerless mitts knitted in the round, with a lovely scalloped cable cuff. It uses just one hank of Uist Wool Astair, a 4ply wool and alpaca mix. Here the colour way is Coire or Corrie.

Annette is a cable and moss stitch scarf that is completely reversible. I love this NORO yarn - it is one of those yarns that just endures, and still looks fresh and feels great.

Quick to knit, these mitts have a great cabled cuff and an easy stocking stitch palm. Knitted in the lovely Hawkshaw Sheep Bonfire Smoke DK, they take just 1 x 100g hank.

Here is a lovely asymmetric lace wrap that takes just 2 x 100g hanks of 4-ply. Its finished size is 78cm wide at cast on and 127cm measured along the side edge, giving a wingspan of 149cm.

Great lace hat with a pompom. Comes in 3 sizes, to fit small/medium/large adult head (47 53:58 cm, 18 1⁄2 21:22 3⁄4 in)

Lorita Button Cowl uses a combination of moss stitch and a cable pattern. The design needs 7 x 1cm buttons and uses between 210 and 240 meters of DK yarn.

Here is a great hat and cowl in the beatiful TFC Tundra yarn. The Thelma hat comes in 3 sizes and is finished off with a pompom. The cowl is in one size. Knit the hat with 2 hanks of Tundra, the cowl with 3 hanks of Tundra or both with 4 hanks.

This pullover consists of three wide blocks of colour, and is knitted in a cable zigzag pattern at the bottom, stocking stitch in the middle and a yoke embellished with bobbles and ribs at the top.

Here is a lovely 2 colour jumper which combines a delicate leaf pattern along with some texture stripes. The wide flattering neck and raglan sleeve make it a great knit to wear.

This is a great hat in a lovely fir cone pattern with a twisted rib brim. It uses the soft pure wool yarn - Debbie Bliss Rialto Chunky and uses just 3 balls.

Here is a one ball knit hat in the lovely Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal yarn. The brim is knitted sideways in a great cable and bobble pattern, with the crown stitches picked up and worked afterwards.

Here is a pattern for a cowl and wrist warmers in the super chunky Debbie Bliss Roma yarn. I added on-trend lacing to the wrist warmers and the cowl. Both are knitted flat in single pointed 10mm and 12 mm needles, with thumb shaping on the wristwarmers.

Here is a great slouchy hat in three colours. The ridge pattern accentuates the colour changes and it is knitted in a chunky or bulky yarn, so knits up quickly.

This is a lovely wrap in the new Debbie Bliss Paloma Tweed yarn. It uses just 4 hanks of the alpaca and wool yarn, which has a tweedy twist to it. The design uses both cables and lace to create an interesting wrap that can also be used as a scarf. Quick and easy to knit up, you’ll love knitting it.

Here is a lovely hat in Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal. It takes just one ball of the lovely yarn and uses 3.25mm needles. The scallop pattern is a great pattern to work and although the hat is knitted on 3.25mm needles, it grows quickly.

This cowl is knitted flat using two colours. The pattern stitch is very effective with the 2 colours and it knits up into a lovely warm close fitting cowl.

Here is a lovely scarf knitted in a mohair yarn. The body of the scarf is knitted with the yarn held double, with the frills knitted with one strand. Using two strands of yarn means that the colour changes look really unusual. The scarf is knitted on 5.5mm/US 9 needles, which means that the scarf grows quickly.

Here is a lovely wrap knitted in Debbie Bliss Paloma. It uses a pattern I have created that produces a stretchy lacy holey pattern. Its an easy pattern knitted on 10 mm needles, so knits up really quickly. And takes just 4 hanks of yarn (shade shown is Lilac shade 21).

I love berets. I think they are so flattering to all shapes of heads and lengths of hair. Combine my favourite hat shape with a yarn I also love, and I have created an easy to knit, warm and stylish beret, that can be dressed up or down. I have chosen the lovely Mirasol Akapana, an aran weight yarn for the design. However, all aran weight yarns...

This shawl is an easy sideways knitted project, with a lovely pointed lace edging. It uses the superbly soft Debbie Bliss Paloma yarn and knits up with just 4 hanks. I have made this shawl triangular in shape so that it can be used as a traditional shawl to be wrapped around your shoulders, or as a scarf to keep your neck warm.

This is a lovely beret. The Herringbone stitch produces such a beautiful pattern, which is especially striking on this super chunky yarn. Combine my favourite hat shape with a yarn I also love, and I have created an easy to knit, warm and stylish beret.

This cowl is knitted in the lovely super soft extra chunky Debbie Bliss Paloma Yarn. Knitted flat in two different stitches, the lace is one of my favourites, and combined with the pearl buttons, it creates a delicate yet warm cowl. Wear it with your favourite jacket as a cowl, or with your favourite outfit as a scarf! You’ll love knitting this...

These mitts are a doddle to knit up. They use just one ball of Debbie Bliss Riva and can be knitted in an evening. Toasty warm, they match the Edina scarf and use a lovely pattern that looks more complicated than it is. Stretchy, these mitts will fit most ladies hands. You’ll love knitting these mitts, and love wearing them even more! Happy kni...

This twist is part decorative scarf, part necklace. It uses only one hank of the exquisite Debbie Bliss Paloma, a baby alpaca and merino wool mix. Super soft, the twist grows quickly and can be knitted up in a night. There are so many lovely colours in this yarn it is hard to choose which one to knit up, but I have chosen Cyclamen as it complem...

This scarf combines so many of the design elements I love. The changing colours of the yarn along with a simple but very effective pattern, and the beautiful beads to add further interest. And of course as this is knitted in a chunky/bulky yarn the scarf grows quickly. Wear it to keep you warm when the weather turns cooler and accept the compli...

Here is a quick embelishment for your bag, brooch, key ring, cushion, or anything else where you might want to put a funky flower with a cool button. It can be knitted with about 10m of any yarn - just use the needles appropriate to the yarn and can be knitted up in minutes.

My Rhubarb and Custard pattern has been created for the UK Hand Knitting Association sweetie shop project. Cute sweets - one one my favourite traditional sweets. Can be knitted up on any yarns (providing they are yellow and pinky/red and the same weight). Use needles appropriate to the yarn. You’ll need a small amount of toy stuffing too.

This is a great easy scarf worked in garter stitch. The steadily increasing and decreasing give the scarf more interest, whilst the pompoms add a bit of fun! And its knitted on large needles, so grows quickly.

Use your stash to knit up a cute heart. It can be used in many ways - a hanging decoration, put wheat in it for a handwarmer, cedar chips for a decorative moth deterant, or make a few and fill a bowl with them.

This is a beautiful delicate wrap inspired by draping gathers of fabric across my shoulders, with contrasting stripes to hold the whole picture together. Worked with two contrasting yarns, a mohair (Debbie Bliss Angel) and a silk mix (Debbie Bliss Andes). Together they create a contrast of both look and texture. The wrap can be worn as a summer...

I love this scarf pattern - it has a simple lace eyelet repeat, with a picot edge. I have designed it for the advanced beginner who wants to move onto something a little more challenging, but as the pattern is a repeat, it is easy to pick up.

This is a lovely scarf knitted in a simple pattern repeat that creates a beautiful wave pattern, equally good on the right side and the reverse. It is an excellent project for a beginner who wants to move on from simple knit/purl.
