’Tis the Season! Two To Give, Two To Keep … bundles together four patterns:

  1. Leonardo (Reversibly-Patterned Man’s Muffler) AND
  2. Sofia (Reversibly-Patterned Woman’s Scarf);
  3. OH! What a Night! (Shawlette);
  4. Phyllida -- Ring-Shaped Lace Shawl

LEONARDO & SOFIA -- two different designs here released as one pattern -- form a reversibly-patterned knitted man’s muffler and woman’s scarf set, each worked in three colors of yarn.

The Leonardo stitch pattern is an identical reversible, the same on both sides. The Sofia stitch pattern is a non-identical reversible, with attractive but different (not the same on both) sides.

OH! WHAT A NIGHT! -- a “poinsettia” shawlette or neckerchief -- is a wonderfully creative and satisfying project with a lovely result. Design inspiration from vintage (early-1800s era) eight-pointed star “poinsettia” counterpanes contributes to the feeling of festive and fun-spirited sophistication of this reversible, just-one-skein wrap.

PHYLLIDA is a ring-shaped shawl showcasing four attractive lace stitch patterns based on natural foliage forms/shapes, with rapidly-memorized repeats that are simple to knit but hold the knitter’s interest. Simply stunning!

ABCD: A Quartet for YarnZone.com bundles together four separate FREE patterns designed for and available from YarnZone.com:

  1. Arabella
  2. Barbara (Vineyard Afternoon)
  3. Corisande -- Quick-Knit Wrap in Exotic Fibers
  4. Dorothea -- Drop-Stitch Twist Layering Vest

ARABELLA is an off-the-shoulder shrug knit flat in one piece from cuff to cuff with just two seams to join, it yields quick results and a lovely appearance; with nice contours to flatter and drape, this is not just another rectangle.

BARBARA is an elegant scarf inspired by a memorable afternoon spent touring a vineyard, this pattern offers the knitter three options for different looks, and it is knit flat (in one piece). You will get compliments on this beautiful piece, from knitter and non-knitter alike!

CORISANDE is quick to knit on big needles, and the featured yarns are exotic and fresh. The appearance approaches textile art, but the step-by-step instructions mean you’ll never wonder what to do next, though there’s certainly room to incorporate your own creativity if you wish.

DOROTHEA is a great project with a lovely result! This layering vest spans the seasons (when worn over a light tank or a heavier top) and is versatile enough to go with casual daytime jeans or a formal evening skirt.

EFGH: A Quartet of Scarves bundles together four separate scarf patterns:

  1. Emmeline (Hidden Flame)
  2. Frederica (Quatrefoil)
  3. Genevieve (Formositas)
  4. Honoria (Petal Mesh)

EMMELINE is a dramatic scarf with elements suggestive of the flame-singed feathers of the mythical phoenix during their storied regeneration into newly glorious blaze-fed plumes. This design offers the knitter an intriguing single-strand (no-cut) method for subtle entrelac-like textured patterning without the significant effort required by the original technique.

FREDERICA has a symmetrically pleasing net-like appearance that was inspired by overlapping shapes popular in Gothic and Renaissance-era building architecture, often with a four-lobed (“quatrefoil”) motif providing both strong support and lovely decoration. This is a quick knit with a brief and easily mastered row repeat, despite a complex surface appearance.

GENEVIEVE is an elegant scarf inspired by the contrast between the delicacy and strength of dragonflies in flight. This design offers the knitter an original stitch pattern (“Formositas,” literally “beauty” in Latin) and is knit flat (in one piece).

HONORIA is a richly detailed scarf blending bold fiber scale with a delicate floral motif. This design offers the knitter a quickly-realized result that is high-end boutique-worthy. The complex-appearing mesh stitch pattern resembling petals is actually simple enough to work in public, at a coffee shop, or on a casual social outing with friends.

JONI: A Quartet of Shawls and Wraps bundles together four separate shawl/wrap patterns:

  1. Jessamyn -- Harpershall Wrap
  2. Octavia -- Anglesey Redan Shawl
  3. Natalie -- Lakeshore Wrap
  4. Illumina -- Deconstructed Multi-Fiber Wrap

JESSAMYN is wonderfully simple to knit, with clear step-by-step instructions, and the distinctively curved silhouette of this wrap is extremely wearable (figure-flattering), ideally suited to the texture and material composition of the fibers.

OCTAVIA is a breathtaking design that’s straightforward to knit but oh-so-dramatic to wear! Modular construction means that the project is completed in thirds, each of which may be worn (as a shawlette) while the others are still on the needles.

NATALIE is a relaxed and fun project with a terrific result! It’s quick to knit on big needles, and the featured yarns are textural and just right for that distinctive resort look …

ILLUMINA is a striking textile-art showpiece that gives the appearance of free-form work within the structure of narrative and explicitly detailed directions provided. Due to the nature of the novel yarns used, each knitter’s wrap is unique!
