BFC is the Big Friggin Cable…a nice cable right down the middle of this headband. Knitted with an i-cord edging, this is sure to be on your holiday gift making list for anyone who needs a little headband to slip on to cover the ears and keep the head warm in the fall or winter chill.

Cuniforme is a shoulder hugging wrap which is a crescent shape created by five expanding “wedges” of garter with a stockinette center. A lace border is knitted on at the end, thus avoiding a many-stitched (think long and boring) bind-off.

This is a very quick knit hat, ribbed to fit any size head. Add a pom pom for flair, or leave it plain. Make it longer for more slouch, or to fold up the brim. You will knit this up in no time with bulky yarn and big needles. Perfect for a beginner hat project, or to learn to knit in the round. Easy decreases, and a 16” cable, size 13 needle sh...

Tarrytown was a hat born out of pure necessity. My DH was working outside at a job site, and called to let me know how cold he was without a hat on. I felt so bad, knowing that I knit for everyone else, yet had not provided him with a wooly-warm hat to cover his noggin on cold days.

Recently, I started knitting this simple lace shawl. I wanted something easy, with a pattern repeat that I could remember while watching television, or listening to music or an audio book. I also wanted something for summer, so I picked a linen blend yarn. I intended the shawl to be all red in color, as that is what I had in my stash. Somewhere...

Just Beachy was something I worked up by request from my weekly knitting group. Summer is coming, and everyone wanted to knit a little cover up to hide some of the, um, sins that one must show when wearing a bathing suit. This is a really quick knit - using a nice and cool open weave, and best when done in cotton yarn. Using bigger needles give...

SKI BUM is a super-simple bulky hat pattern with a bonus headband pattern too! If you can knit, purl, knit in the round and use double points, or magic loop, you are all set to make some really quick gifts for family and friends for the winter season, or for those ski bums in your life!

Trieste was a pattern I came up with while on vacation by the beach. My husband is from Montenegro, on the Adriatic coast, and pictures of the Adriatic coast, along the shores of Italy, Croatia, Montenegro and Albania reminded me of the colors of the yarn I had chosen to use…deep blue to turquoise to pale blue. The shawl itself is easy construc...

This is a great pattern when you need a quick knitted gift, and can be knit up in less than two hours. Try it with bigger needles and a bulkier yarn for an even greater “wow” effect and more warmth. The sizing is for an adult noggin, but you can play with the cable pattern and make fewer repeats to fit tweens and children. Gauge is not crucial ...

this is a super-easy hat pattern and even the beginner knitter can tackle it. I used about half a skein of Lion Brand Wool Ease in two different colors, to use up some of my yarn stash. However, you can substitute any worsted weight yarn for this, and use as many or as few colors as you want!
