For this cardigan I wanted to achieve a structured shape and tailored fit that would serve as a jacket. Striped side panels contain subtle shaping, the set-in sleeves are a slim fit with polka dot stranded color work at the wrists.

Worked in the round on double pointed needles, this scarf can be worn full length or scrunched into a neck ruff and tied. It is a tube that balloons and narrows with increases and decreases. The tie is knit separately and inserted into the tube.

This is a quick gift to knit for a friend or for yourself!

Even if you’re shy about showing your waist, there’s no need to be afraid of a cropped cardigan.

I originally designed this for children, thinking a one-piece neck warmer and hood would be easy to wear and convenient to stash in a school bag. When I saw the child’s version I wanted one for myself, hence the larger sizes and possibility of hoods for the whole family. There are two options for the ribbed edging.

These felted slippers are very flattering. They’re like ballet slippers, with a gently pointed toe, and they hug the foot nicely. The yarn is doubled and they’re worked in the round. I added suede pads to the soles so that they would last longer (the template is in the book), but they’re perfectly comfortable without. If they stretch after a wh...
