Garland is a crescent shaped shawl, knit from side to side. The lacy border is knit at the same time as the garter stitch body, which increases from one end to the center and then decreases to the other end. Optional beading along the leaves’ center veins adds sparkle and weight for drape. This shawl can be knit as a wide, shallow crescent, or a...

Starwood Cowl and Cuffs are knit in the round using a simple slip stitch pattern to create a colorful tweedy look. It only looks complicated; just one color is used per round. The pattern is easily adjusted for length and width. Choose three colors and get knitting!

These candy-colored twists are just the thing to brighten your day, and they’re calorie free, too! Knit in the round and stuffed with fiber, they’re a visual treat. One 45 yard mini-skein will yield 3-4 candies, but why stop at one color? These are also a fun way to use up leftover sock yarn.

Victoriana is a simply elegant silk cord bracelet or necklace embellished with beads. Delicate in appearance, the silk cord is very strong. The only stitch used is the crochet chain. Choose your favorite beads and jump right in!

Inspired by a stitch pattern and a yarn, the Webfoot Scarf is perfectly at home at an Oregon Ducks football game. Golden diamonds of moss stitch look like duck feet, and O’s are slyly interspersed between the diamonds. Not a Duck? Use another color, or knit the lacy Filigree version! These scarves are shaped as a very shallow crescent, worn band...

This pattern is an offshoot of the Ruffle Kerfuffle Scarf. The cowl has a chart of the colorwork, which is stranded and knit in the round. The right side is always facing you, no purling back!

This scarf is knit in the round, and is a good introduction to stranded colorwork knitting; only 2 colors are used per round. If you choose a variegated yarn for the contrast color, you’ll look lik...

I was inspired to design this cowl and cuffs set by the beautiful Sakura yarn that Knitted Wit dyed as a fundraiser for Japan disaster relief. Sakura is Japanese for cherry blossom, and Hanami is the name given to the spring cherry blossom viewing parties.

Zen Rain is a wide, shallow, ruffled scarf/shawlette. I daydreamed this shawl while watching rain run down a window. Lorajean Kelley of Knitted Wit dyed a beautiful, cloudy sky gray with her Bling fingering weight yarn base for me. The pattern is very rhythmic to knit, and oh, so zen.

Infinity is an infinity, or loop scarf. This entrelac scarf earns its name twice: The center rectangles feature a lacy infinity symbol.

This shawl was inspired by the rolling waves of the Pacific Ocean. The optional (but highly recommended) beads capture the sparkle of sunlight on the waves.

Athena takes two balls of Crystal Palace Taos. It is an entrelac neck warmer, knit in the round. Why Athena? Because after going to sleep trying to think of what to make a friend for Christmas, the idea popped out of my head the next morning, like Athena from the head of Zeus!

This pattern was written to be easy enough for beginners who know how to knit and purl, but have enough visual/textural interest for more advanced knitters, too. It takes less than one 100 gm skein of worsted weight yarn.

Yarn is held doubled throughout.

Yarn is held doubled throughout. Quick work! I wrote this way before I had a digital camera, so there are pix on the net as knitted by others. And I found these red socks at my Mom’s house so I scooped them up for a picture!

This pattern was my holiday to the knitlist in 1995.
