I’ve gotten completely hooked on drop stitches lately– it has become a fixation of mine. I love how they allow the color of the yarn to stand out. It is a great way to deal with variegated yarns, and it makes a scarf knit up very quickly!

This scarf works up quickly with drop stitches! I’ve become hooked on the look of dropped stitches, and this is the second of four patterns I’m making with dropped stitches. They work up fast and give great texture!

This is a great one-skein project! In this airy, DK weight yarn it needs one skein - less than 200 yards! You can substitute just about any DK or sport weight yarn of similar yardage for a light, airy scarf.

This scarf is made of triangular sections that join together as you go, so there are no ends to work in! The ribs make for a very soft and squishy scarf—but you are only ever working knits or purls on any particular row.

This crescent shawl is worked from the top down. The body of the shawl is simple- only a two row repeat! The edging is then knitted on, with no seaming required. The shaping allows the shawl to gently drape over your shoulders and stay in place.

Inspired by the Outlander series on Starz, this pattern snuggles softly around your shoulders and ties in place. It is knitted from side to side, then the ties are added on.

While I was watching “Outlander” on Starz, I caught a glimpse of one of the wedding guests wearing a crescent-shaped ruffled shawl, and I just knew I had to have one! Thus, the Wedding Guest Shawl was born. The body of the shawl is formed with simple increases and decreases, and the ruffle is created at the same time with short rows.

This bulky cabled cowl wraps you in warmth while giving you a chance to show off a set of beautiful buttons! It can be made longer easily by adding additional repeats.

Inspired by the shawl worn by Claire in the Outlander series on Starz!

This scarf is worked from the ends to the center then finished with a three needle bind off or kitchener stitch. The design is created from Estonian, Orenburg and Russian patterns to create falling snowflakes and the edging reminds me of the frost that appears on windowpanes on the cold days of winter.
