This little scarflette, collar, cowl..is perfect for dressing up a simple winter garment. I prefer to make these with 100% angora or cashmere, as it is a perfect small item to use with that skein of luxury yarn you’ve been hoarding. This pattern uses knitting as well as a small amount of very basic crochet for easy buttonholes.

This pattern is designed to be used with Yarnarchy Bundle of Bliss (see below). This lovely wrap may be worn around the shoulders, hung like a scarf, wrapped around the neck for a cowl, or wrapped around the neck and pulled over the head for a wonderful hood. Very versatile and an easy but interesting knit with all of the amazing texture.

This pattern uses Yarnarchy ShearLocked art yarn, made with uncarded locks of kid mohair. I find the woven look of the seed stitch to look great with the contrast of the unruly locks. The photos feature the Haint colorway, made with handpainted roving in smoky charcoal and ebony paired with bright sulphur yellow mohair locks.

Although I make a great number of them, I am not really a stocking cap sort of girl. I wanted to make a crocheted hat that I would actually wear, and as most of my clothing has a vintage look to it… I gravitated to the cloche. Cloche hats were especially popular in the 1920’s, and this style is named for Ginevra King. One of the Big Four debuta...

I wanted to make fingerless gloves for my great aunts Violet and Dottie. They are a combination of rural Tennessee Irish homesteaders and ahead-of-their-time urban business women. I love them. The lace and cables give an old fashioned feminine air, and are balanced by the modern, edgy look of the seed stitch sides.

I created this pattern because I had quite a lot of handspun angora and it begged to be made into something Victorian/Steampunk. I like instant gratification, so cuffs seems a perfect project. I make and sell them at winter craft events, Steampunk shows, etc and they are always a hot seller (get it? angora yarn pun….hee hee).
