Loop scarves are often practical because they cannot easily slip from the wearer’s neck, but they can be quickly made up too. This crocheted version uses a 9.0mm hook and Rowan Thick ‘n’ Thin in 2 colorways for visual and tactile textures. Seamlessly crocheted in one piece, the scarf has a twist to show off the stitch pattern.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque

The instructions include helpful photographs on how to graft the pieces together for those who need it.
Knitting: Pullover
Knitted in Rowan Super Fine Merino DK, this oversized pullover uses slipped stitches instead of purls for fisherman’s ribbing without pulling the fabric into the body for comfortable drape. While the only purling is at the v-neck’s ribbing, set in sleeves are used to reduce bulk in the drop shoulder shaping.
Knitting: Dress
The barely rolled collar at the shallow scoop neckline contributes to the drape and subtle shaping in this stockinette tunic. The diagonal lines of the waist’s slight A-line, bell sleeves, and the raglan shoulder create feminine curves in an otherwise masculine garment.
Knitting: Pullover
A cleverly designed pullover incorporates short rows to create a cross between a dolman and modified drop sleeve. The added roominess of the garment, the textures of garter stitch, and contrasting ribbing make this wardrobe addition perfect for everyday comfort.

How do you get the errata for the pattern if you had purchased the book at the time it came out? I don’t know if this is the errata but the pattern on the shoulders, front to back, didn’t match up. I ripped it out a number of times until I realized I had to flip the left shoulder to the right and visa versa for the second body piece.
