This intermediate shawl is collaboration between Caryn Moir and Jennifer Miller (the artistic genius behind Theodora’s Pearls!). It’s a good project for knitters who want to build on their sock yarn shawl skills. You’ll begin with a tab start, then work through a striping section and finish with a lace edge. The stockinette/garter fields show o...

This crocheted blanket can be easily adapted to any size, any weight yarn and any fiber. It uses a main color (MC) and then several contrast colors (CC), making it a good choice if you are trying to use up stash yarn scraps.

Fast? Check.

Looking for a stylish and quick project? This one is great for gift giving because it’s fast and cute!

There is no specific gauge for this pattern, because you simply work until it’s big enough!
