Knitting: Cardigan
A warm hooded cardie for the fall, with lots of options! Choose a seed stitch/Icord border or a cute little cable to go up the fronts and around the hood, then choose ribbing or seed stitch for the cuffs and hem. Pockets or not? Up to you! Finally, choose between a zipped and button closure, and a hood or a cute ribbed collar.

Knitting: Pillow / Cushion
This chunky, cuddly cushion knits up in no time and uses simple techniques. I made mine with worsted yarn held double (about 600 yards). A super-bulky yarn that has a gauge of 3.5 st/inch should work too. There is an easy slip-stitch design that could be worked in any arrangement you like. The two halves of the cushion are knit separately, then...

Knitting: Pullover

Knitting: Cardigan
I’ve heard that having clothes that really fit a tiny preemie can be a boost to the spirits. This top-down, seamless raglan cardigan is scaled down for Preemie sizes. It measures 13.75/15/16 inches at the chest and the sleeves are narrower than on a typical newborn sweater, to allow for a preemie’s slender arms. It would also make a good doll s...
Knitting: Coat / Jacket
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This easy, top-down, crescent-shaped shawl can be worn lots of ways and works up quickly using worsted-weight yarn.

Any weight of yarn and any size needle can b...

Knitting: Pullover
Errata The directions for the sleeves do not tell you to switch to the larger-size dpns or circular after working the rib. Also on the sleeve directions, Row 9 of the cable pattern should start with P2, just like the side cable. The chart is correct. I will update the pattern soon.
Knitting: Pullover

Knitting: Cardigan
This little cardigan is knit from the bottom up with fronts that go up the sweater diagonally. Please note that I am a left-handed “mirror knitter,” so my cardigans have the “steps” going up from left to right. If you are right-handed, yours will go from right to left, as you can see in some of the project photos from the testers. The button-ba...

Knitting: Doll
This is a simple little toy made in one piece. The arms and feet are formed by sewing through the knitted piece and the stuffing after you’ve finished. The ears are just embroidered on to the hood, so if you remove the hood, the ears will come off too. :) This is some “mystery yarn” and I believe getting the right yarn is the most important asp...
Knitting: Onesies
This quick and easy pattern has three style options--a sunsuit, a dress/tunic, or a top/vest. All three start with wide straps and a cute ribbed panel in the back to give a good fit to the bodice. The lower body flares enough to be roomy and comfortable with plenty of room for a cloth diaper, if desired. Three buttons on the gusset make for eas...
Knitting: Pants
These little overalls are designed to fit snugly, like leggings. They will keep baby warm and comfortable from shoulders to toes, worn either next to the skin or over a lighter layer such as a sleeper, onesie, or tights. I made the first set for my newest granddaughter, who was able to wear them almost right away.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
This is a square baby blanket made with an understated, classic diamond pattern bordered with seed stitch. When using the suggested yarn, it grows considerably after blocking. The stitch multiple is 8 + 1 if you wish to modify the width. The pattern includes both a chart and written instruction for the diamonds.
Knitting: Dress
This little dress is sized for 6, 9, and 12 months, but there is a lot of flexibility with the sizing and how it can be worn--dress or top. The skirt length can also be easily modified. A generous back opening makes for easy on-and-off.
Knitting: Dress
The skirt could easily be lengthened or shortened by changing the number of rounds between the decreases. The model in the picture is a slender 5-year-old with longish legs and a 21” chest.
Knitting: Animal Toy
This pattern incorporates a number of knitting techniques--sock heel, working around on dps, I-cord. If you know how to make socks, you’ll probably find it pretty easy. There are a lot of separate pieces, some knitted on, and some sewn, so it involves a fair amount of work. I hope I have explained everything clearly enough--it turned out to be ...
Knitting: Animal Toy
October 2015: I have reworked the pattern to make it clearer and easier to follow. There are photographs of the entire process now. They are all at the end, if you don’t want to print those pages.
Knitting: Cardigan
This pattern requires some pretty heavy blocking to reach its proper shape. I chose not to put buttonholes in the ribbing, but I might do that if I make it again.
Knitting: Animal Toy
This just uses scrap yarn and small DPs--the smaller the yarn and needles, the tinier the monkey. There are also directions for a tiny owl, but I didn’t have a picture of him.
Knitting: Booties
A 16” circular needle works best.
Knitting: Cardigan
ERRATA: If you downloaded this pattern after the update in July of 2013 (described below), the number of CO st for the larger size in DK-weight yarn should be 54, not 53. I believe this is a typo that was not present on the earlier version of the pattern before the update. I apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may have caused!
