A fabulously simple garter stitch jacket with loads of style. This is a great first sweater project and it knits up fast.

Last summer I spent a couple of weeks in the mountains of North Carolina learning to weave. Though it was blazingly hot during the day, the mornings were still cool and this was the cardigan I wished for as I walked to class each morning.

The color-blocked ribbing on this sporty little dress will work magic for your figure. I wanted a form-fitting dress so designed this with a suggested negative ease of 2” - 3”.

Feminine without being fussy, this is a lovely topper for spring dresses or to dress up jeans.

A simple cardigan in a luscious yarn, need I say more?

A great wardrobe staple with unique construction.

Bulky yarn turns this lace kimono-style jacket into a casual look.

Handsome military-inspired man’s sweater. The wide placket buttons to keep out the chill. The stand up collar meets more closely in the center than apparent in photo.

It’s been a long time coming for this pattern. I first made a pair for myself almost a 10 years ago and only wrote the sparest of notes. Even though I’ve been meaning to write up the pattern I really didn’t want to have to reinvent the wheel, but I finally decided it was time.

I love cardigans and jackets because they’re so wearable. Madison started with the idea of smocking, but instead of a true smocked stitch I found this alternating rib with a twisted stitch that is so easy to work and looks very similar to smocking.

I admit it, I haven’t caught the shawl-knitting bug. I tend to like my lace simple and worked on worsted or even bulky weight yarns. But I’m forever grabbing woven wraps once the weather cools. It was high time I knit myself a wrap.

Just enough detail to keep the knitting interesting yet straight-forward enough for even the fussiest guy.

A simply constructed jacket with a pretty portrait collar and woven stitch panel at the front.

The cardigan has great texture and a comfy, casual silhouette. Easy to adjust both sleeve and body length to suit your taste.

Demure in front and flirty in back; the fly-away back on this camisole makes it extra cool in summer.

A heavily textured stitch is the only embellishment to this simple wrapped and belted cardigan. This one is all about casual comfort.

This is one of those pieces that makes me yearn for cooler weather. The cropped jacket knits up amazingly fast in bulky yarn. The straight sides make it a cinch to lengthen if you prefer a longer line.

I just had to have a new hiking sweater with a collar just deep enough to snuggle against the winter wind. The thick and thin yarn adds a rustic feel.

This cross-front cardigan flatters so many figures and has been a bestseller from day one.

This is a great cardigan to grab and go. Just enough gathers at the Empire waist to be obvious, but not so much to add bulk.

St. Kilda is my answer to surviving a lowered thermostat. My intention in designing this sweater was just that, to create the perfect sweater to keep me warm at home this winter.

Sydney is a great example of all-season sweater dressing worked in one of my all-time favorite yarns, Rowan’s dk weight Wool Cotton.

Fabulously fun and incredibly warm, this trapper-style Fair Isle hat is lined with faux fur fabric.

Classic, but by no means stuffy. This assymetrical one button jacket can go from work to play.

Mistake stitch rib is one of my favorite stitches. I love the deep, plump texture it creates. Paired with a soft squishy yarn like Missy Bulky and you get a super cozy tube wrap. Then add a loop stitch trim for fun.

Perfectly simple and utterly wearable.
