This gradient colorwork hat is a great introduction to following a chart. It is a beginner level pattern in terms of learning stranded colorwork. This hat is the result of my experiment in comparing the discontinued MS Chunky yarn with the new MS Bulky yarn, however, using 2 colors in the Moonshine Bulky. I have Kits available with MS Bulky on ...

Mia Bella’s Snug yarn inspired this fabulous beanie & cowl!

The worlds best top down baby sweater!!!!

This hem brimmed hat adds extra warmth on the brim and keeps your ears toasty! It could be knit in a single color and would only need 100g. I chose to add a touch of color, which I love and has inspired the name!!

I purchased local hand dyed yarn in Ketchikan, Alaska and was inspired to design and knit this hat. This hat has the appearance of complexity while the actual knitting is quite simple and the crown shaping has such a beautiful finished look.

Here are two quick knit patterns that are simple to follow and beautiful finished hats for you or a wonderful gift for loved ones!!

Simple top down construction with incredible drape!

Interesting texture and a pretty lace edging make this a cowl you have to crochet! That and the lux yarn!!

Gauge is somewhat inconsequential in this pattern. Because you are working a slip stitch pattern, you don’t want to knit too tightly.

This cowl was inspired by my wonderful friend and customer Suzie Raskin, hence the name :)

This fabulous cowl will show off your yarn and is a great stash buster!!

This beautiful cardigan has a simple yet delicate lace back that adds an unexpected feminine touch to a classic shape.

This cowl has very interesting construction with a shorter back so it sits comfortably on the back of your neck but has the fullness in front that is so popular.

Enjoy this super simple poncho for the little angel in your life!

Get your creative juices flowing with this simple hat! You will get addicted to choosing your colors and working it up! Let me know if you have any questions along the way.

My hand dyed yarn Fathom is a super bulky superwash yarn, so naturally I wanted to design something for kids. This little shrug is a quick knit because of the super bulky yarn and because it is worked in one piece flat.

This drapey cape is knit top-down and is very simple, just pick two contrasting but complimentary colors and get started!

This hat and mitt set are knit out of the new color changing yarn Abracadabra by Hikoo. It is so cool! I included instructions for Newborn & Child size hats but only the Adult size mitts.

This cabled vest is knit from the bottom up and joined under the bust for a very flattering shape. The cable detail on the back mirrors the front neck shaping. The vest can be knit in a standard length or as a tunic.

This baby sweater is knit from the back to the front in one piece, and then the sides and sleeves are seamed. I used 3 colors to achieve the sophisticated striping but it can also be knit in a solid color.

I wrote this simple cabled hat for my new yarn Fathom, (82 yds, 80%SW Merino/20%Nylon, Super bulky, single ply). Great for first time cable knitters, the instructions are written out instead of charted!

I wrote this cowl for my new MB Mini skeins. Choose 5 colors, 60yds ea. of BFL/Alpaca blend Aran weight.

Pente is a new gradient yarn I am dying

This was our pattern for the Chicagoland Yarncrawl 2014 and it is now available for purchase!!

I kept this cowl/mitt set simple because the tonal yarn Classy by Dream in Color is so lovely. If you haven’t tried a knit-on border before, don’t be intimidated, just go for it! Please, feel free to contact me with any questions.

I made this set for a newborn photo shoot for my daughter Charlotte Jane. As I have been showing the photos to everyone I come in contact with I have had requests for the pattern, so here it is.

My brand new yarn Silky Road (570yds of 50/50 silk/merino, DK)!!!

I designed this cowl for one of my favorite customers, Marci, who wanted to learn to knit cables.

This summer I visited the Chicago Botanic Gardens and was completely inspired by the butterfly exhibit! I also found this lux yarn base that is a blend of BFL, Cashmere and Silk, and I started dyeing it. This top-down pattern is a result of the combination of my inspiration and yummy yarn. I hope you enjoy the unique shape and textures!

I wrote this pattern for the 2011 Chicago Yarn Crawl and I just realized I never posted it to Ravelry, so here it is. This cabled hat has written instructions instead of a chart so it is great for those of you who don’t enjoy reading charts. Enjoy!

This is a wonderful reversible pattern which means it doesn’t have a “wrong” side!! It’s easy to make it larger by adding a repeat or more.
