These fun little mitts are the warmer, worsted weight version of Playful Mitts, and they, too, get their playfulness from a self-striping what-comes-next-?-kind of yarn. They’d also be sweet and cozy in a solid. The mitts are just the right length to wear with long or short sleeves and compact enough to keep in your jacket pocket. With a minima...

A light but chill-busting, “let’s hang on to summer” kind of hat. Just right for the changing of the seasons. Knit up in two colors of squishy MadelineTosh Tosh Vintage, this is one hat you’ll wear over and over again. Partner up with a friend and share that “color B”, or use up leftovers from other MadTosh projects…you know you can’t just toss...

Maybe it’s the warmer weather or maybe it’s wishful thinking, but this lovely hat makes us look forward to summer days at the Farmer’s Market in Pacific Grove…just a block away from our little knit shop…and the fat juicy berries the farmers have waiting there. Can’t you just see that big mound of red, ripe strawberries? This hat looks just like...

Playful Mitts are fingerless gloves with a silly side. The yarn is really doing all of the work here…it is so fun! The mitts are knit entirely in the round on size 4 needles, and with a minimal yardage requirement, they work up fast.

This is a super soft, squishy, lovely, yummy cowl. You could knit it up in any bulky weight yarn, but it is so delicious in alpaca!

I am doing this project to earn my Bronze Award for Girl Scouts. The reason I decided to do this particular project was because I saw an ornament on a tree at church that asked for scarves for all ages to be given away at Christmas House. I decided to knit or weave a scarf each month so that I could donate 12 scarves next year. Then, I thought ...

This cowl is named for my baby sister. It shares some of her attributes: warmth, structure, and grace to name a few.

I named this hat for my father. The texture above the brim is intended to evoke the Great Smokey Mountains, the Appalachian range which my father loves deeply.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS from all of us at Monarch Knitting!!

Toasty is a simple, but fun to knit and super-duper warm hat (hence the name!) Knit this one up in an evening with one ball of Rowan Tumble or Malabrigo Rasta. Instant gift!

this is a fun little project! whip one up for yourself in a flash…

i was captivated by the color of this yarn…it looked so like the Lady of the Harbor to me. the short row edge is intended to evoke the lines of her diadem.

a simple ribbed legwarmer designed specifically for use with Liberty Wool, although they’d look classy in a worsted solid or tone on tone. these babies look so unbelievably sweet on little feet! and the speckles that appear as you knit the rib…how darling!!

I knit this scarf for my husband on our 4th anniversary. 10 years later, it is still his favorite scarf.

“Koryn” is a long loop style cowl that can be made as an infinity loop or left plain.

this is a fun, fast, and nearly mindless knit with very little purling involved. perfect for that one skein of fingering weight that you just couldn’t live without but had no real plans for (don’t we all have one or two of those??) and excellent for working on during knit-night or in the car.

ultra simple, ultra quick, ultra warm
