Knitting: Washcloth / Dishcloth
What better to give your newly mated friends than something they can use to keep each other clean? Have fun knitting this super easy washcloth in any worsted weight cotton yarn-- the cheaper the better, nothing more than good old “kitchen cotton” needed. Included is a chart for the washcloth in its entirety-- and a chart for every letter in the...
Knitting: Earflap Hat
A larger hat with many options, written in a chatty but thorough voice. Great for any combination of worsted weight yarns—a perfect scrappy stash-buster. A tidy purl ridge at the crest of the head provides textural interest. Options include i-cord edging or ribbing, earflaps or none, and two different top of hat charts for shorter or taller big...
Knitting: Convertible Gloves
This simple, quick-moving mitten starts with a 1x1 rib and uses an easy-to-memorize thumb gusset with only k1fb increases-- it has a great rhythm, and results in a wonderfully customized fit. The finger cap is sewn onto the back of the hand with a substantial overlap in fabrics, keeping you snug and warm and invulnerable to winter gales.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
A vertically ribbed hat knit straight and shaped with very easy short rows. Hat is knit back and forth and then seamed up the back, and the dumpling top is created by wrapping scrap yarn around the short row section. Fast and easy--no serious gauge requirements here!
Knitting: Tote
A stranded zig-zag motif on a bag knit in the round with looped i-cord handles; fast and fun to make! Any feltable wool will work. Substitute a bulky weight to make a bigger page. A one-page .pdf file that is best suited for viewing on screen (but printing will work, too).
