This Pattern will Accommodate Any yarn!

Inspired by the effigy tomb of the Black Prince, which I am using to create the silhouette and fabric detail of this mini-dress.

No gauge is given for this pattern.

A very simple to knit poncho.

There is crochet involved in the finishing (comb) of this hat.

A very simple hat, a nice introduction to short rows and picking up stitches.

Worked with two colors; sample done with Art Yarns, Super Merino, 188 yds/skein, using 1 skein each of two colors.

A fun free pattern to encourage new knitters (and established knitters) to try a new funky stitch, a provisional cast on and a 3 needle bind off! Enjoy!
