Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
I designed these mitts 2013 while working for Jimmy Beans Wool. I’ve made several different pairs of these mitts in the years since and each time I’ve adapted the pattern a bit to suit my liking. I personally love a pair of fingerless mitts in the winter. I like to have use of my fingers for gripping, but need just that little bit of extra warm...

I designed this hat in 2012 while working for Jimmy Beans Wool. I recently received the rights to this design back and when I knew we would be kicking our Taylor Swift MKAL with the Lover Era, I figured it was the perfect opportunity to redo this design as the Lover Era Heart hat. I’ve adjusted the pattern to work for the slightly heavier weigh...

The final hat in the National Park Hats series is Kings Canyon! This hat is another simple yet interesting to knit design. A 4 row pattern repeat makes for easy memorization with enough interest to keep you going. Knit in a bulky weight yarn and big needles with a seamless and clever (if I do say so myself) decrease that is barely noticeable, t...

This month’s hat is inspired by the one and only Mammoth Cave National Park. While the cave itself is the main feature of the park, I couldn’t help but create a color inspired by the lush green landscape of the park’s exterior surroundings, including Green River. For this month’s hat, I wanted to keep it super simple. I love a good classic stoc...

This month’s hat is inspired by Everglades National Park in Florida. Everglades is a stocking style cap in a broken rib stitch that blends colors to create a sunset effect.
