My Cup of Tea socks are worked top down on dpn’s. Inspiration for these socks came from the “crocuses” pattern (p. 60) The Stitch Collection Book 5/Specialty Stitches by Debbie O’Neill.

Karkom Wristwarmers are worked flat, blocked to size and made up with a traditional mattress stitch seam on the underside. The pattern includes an extra 2 stitch allowance on either side to provide a neatly finished seam.

These are quick and easy to make. I like to use them to embellish a card for a baby shower along with a verse (Psalm 139:13-14 ESV.) They can easily be made into a pin or brooch, added to a name tag, a gift tag, a favor, baby announcements, or used to embellish scrapbooking pages.

I’ve adapted the lace pattern in the snowdrop lace scarf to a matching hat. It has a garter edge, three staggered lace repeats and a stockinette finish.
