Cuddle Up is an easy and fun to knit throw or scarf. Simply; two strands of two different yarns are held together in mistake ribbing. There’s only one pattern row; every row is the same. Both pieces use a bulky, hand painted mohair stranded with a self striping, worsted wool which together make a lofty and cozy fabric. These make great gifts!

Motivated by leftover cotton from a sweater, I whipped up a child-sized lap throw. (Leftovers will do that do us!That’s how the magic begins.) I returned to my favorite zig zag stitch and modified the scale to suit this pint-sized throw. This is a terrific travel project and wonderful for your leftovers, too!

This is a fun knit; fun to watch the colors of the long-print Nebula as they unreel in the scarf. The scarf is reversible with two very different looks. Two yarns are alternated every four rows; one solid Folio and the long-print Nebula. The grooves (welts) are created by alternating four rows of stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches.

Colorful stripes in garter stitch give this baby blanket cheer and warmth. While the pattern looks complicated, every row is the same simple knit-purl sequence. The fun is in the selection of colors for the stripe. I chose five rainbow colors, you’re welcome to use more or fewer.
