The Musical Minds Collection: eight hat designs that anyone can rock!

KNITTING SKILL LEVEL: Approx. Intermediate

The Shades of Green Knitting Pattern Collection is now available for semi pre-orders.

The Sweet Sounds collection includes 6 designs. All of the patterns included use 3 or less skeins of yarn and can be completed in a weekend of knitting. This makes the Sweet Sounds a perfect place to look for last minute knitted gifts or a little something to make from that special yarn you’ve been saving.

The Sweet Treats Collection is a series of 9 knit designs worked using only 1 to 3 skeins of yarn. They are “candy knitting” patterns intended for gift giving or when your brain wants a little time off from more complex knitting.

Harvest is the first shawl from the Mythos Collection.

This hat is here to remind you to take a deep breath and relax. Om symbols and lotus flowers circle the hat.

The Comfort Zone mitts were designed for my boyfriend’s grandma. She has trouble with her hands, so gloves and mitts are an every day necessity. This pair is casual and laid back and perfect for use on a daily basis.

“Bum-Diddy” is a basic clawhammer banjo rhythm. It’s a two finger picking pattern that sets old time banjo playing apart from the bluegrass 5-finger style.

Feminine and delicate, these little mitts are fit for a fair maiden. The snowflake motif stretches from the top of the hand all the way across the palm.

These simple little anklets were designed as a gift for my Mom. One of her favorite things is handknit socks, so what could be better than a pair designed just for her? I focused on elements that would appeal to her: thick yarn for maximum cushy comfort and subtle feminine details like the scalloped ankle and decorative ties.

My lack of decision making skills works in your benefit for this pattern. I charted the bird and immediately knew I wanted to fill in the open space with hearts to name the design Love Birds. However, what type of hearts and how many was just too much for my brain to handle. In the end I did a super slouchy version with one set of hearts and a s...

The Shady Grove cardigan is an a-line style garment whose shape will fit and flatter any body type. 3 buttons fasten the upper bodice leaving the lower half of the cardigan free to swing open, which means no pulling fabric across the stomach and drawing attention to the area. Because this sweater is of top-down construction there is very minimal...

Darling Honey was designed to be feminine and fun with the feel of being a boutique knit. It’s an easy going hat perfect for pairing up with a casual outfit and your every-day Fall & Winter jacket.

Simply elegant.

Little Whiskey is not quite a shawl and not quite a poncho. This capelet design will keep your shoulders warm and stay securely in place (thanks to the buttons) all while allowing your arms their full range of movement. It’s a dainty little covering with substance that can be worn year-round. Don it on cool summer nights over a sundress or camis...

I love slouch hats. I think they’re flattering on nearly everyone no matter what type of hairstyle or face shape they have. Plus they’re also just plain fun to knit. However, I do have one complaint with this style of hat. Sometimes it seems there is just too much bunched up material sagging at the back of your head. From the front this appearan...

The Frosting Shawlette is pattern Five from the Sweet Treats Collection.

The Annalee hat was designed and named for my younger sister as a birthday gift. After having immediately stolen one of my previous beret designs and deemed it to be her “happy hat” and performance hat of choice, it was time for a new addition to her wardrobe.

This sweet little design is a relatively quick knit. It uses both techniques for knitting in the round and knitting flat and when you’re done…. very little sewing! Only a few inches on the top shoulder seams and a few tiny buttons. (If you should so feel inclined you may remove even this little bit by working a 3-needle bind off on t...

I am one of those hopeless romantic types that loves to put on music, close my eyes, and get lost in a daydream. This scarflette, with it’s waving lacework and ribbons, is a perfect embodiment of one those dreams. My intention when designing Liza Rose was to encourage the wearer to feel immersed in their own romantic daydream. Knit it, wear it, ...

Design Inspiration: When working on a new design I tend to let the yarn tell me what it wants to be. On the particular day that Interlude was created the yarn had a little help from the music. I sat, fresh skein of yarn and needles in hand. The yarn was beautiful and felt comforting in my hands. Next to me, my boyfriend sat playing an improvised...

The mandolin is a member of the lute family. Originally the mandolin had 6 pairs of gut strings which were played with the fingertips. The modern mandolin is strung with 4 pairs of strings (having 8 total) and is played with a pick. It is tuned in fifths like a violin.

The Shake the Barley Hat falls somewhere between winter cap and beret. It’s not quite either, but has elements of both to make it appealing. There’s the comfortable turned up brim of a classic cap to add warmth around the ears and the semi-slouch, floppy top reminiscent of a beret, or rasta style hat. Both sizes are written with the same number ...
