This pattern is called bipolar because of two reasons: first, it combines two yarns with different character. Shibui’s “Linen” is a chainette yarn made from linen that gives some body to the fabric. “Cima” is a plied wool yarn that adds warmth. Second, the resulting item can be worn as a cowl or as a headband. Depending on how you arrange the fa...

These mitts are worked in garter stitch on the bias, which is emphasized by a yarn that slowly changes colors. The thumb gusset is cleverly integrated into the design. This pair is easy to knit with just one challenge: the stitches from the cast-on and the last row are joined by grafting in garter pattern. Fear not, the instructions tell you how...

This pattern is for a basic triangular lace shawl worked in Tunisian crochet. It is written in such a fashion that you can work it to any size. The main part is worked in the simple stitch. A border in “seed stitch” and two rows of regular crochet prevent the edge from rolling. A great project for a first item in Tunisian lace!

This triangular shawl is worked in three colors using a simple tweed-pattern. It looks intricate, but in fact it is easy to work! You need to know how to knit, slip stitches and increase by knitting into the front and back of a stitch, and how to read charts. For the color changes, you do not cut the yarn so there are only a few ends to weave in...

These cuff-down socks were designed for variegated yarns that swallow almost every pattern. A simple combination of knit and purl stitches results in a textured fabric that distorts the colors of the yarn and breaks up pooling into a more speckled look.

This cowl features a cabled pattern inspired by the “Meridian Socks” that I designed for the magazine “Interweave Knits Accessories 2011”. Worked in a generous size, you can wrap it twice around your neck.

This hat features a cabled pattern inspired by the “Meridian Socks” that I designed for the magazine “Interweave Knits Accessories 2011”. Like all my hat designs, it has a double-layered hem for extra-warm ears.

These mitts feature a cable pattern inspired by the “Meridian Socks” that I designed for the magazine “Interweave Knits Accessories 2011”. They are worked from the top down, this way you can easily adapt the length to your needs.

This generously sized cowl will keep your neck warm in the winter! The extra length allows for a double-layered wear which will fight off the cold air. Special features are a reversible zig-zag-style textured pattern and ribbed edgings in a contrast color, which brighten up the dull winter months.

This hat features a double-layered hem as all my hat patterns for extra warm ears. The main hat is worked in a zig-zag-style textured pattern. The contrasting hem allows you to choose your favorite color which brightens up the dull winter months.

These mitts are worked from the top down; this way you can easily adapt the length to your needs. Special features are a zig-zag-style textured pattern and ribbed cuffs in a contrast color that brightens up the dull winter months. You can choose between the full mittens version or a fingerless mitts version – or knit both!

Using the same textured zig-zag-pattern as the winter accessories collection, this instruction is for all those people who prefer their socks out of fingering weight yarn.

Matching the winter accessories collection, these socks are made of dk weight yarn and feature the zig-zag-style textured pattern. The contrast color is used for the ribbing, heel and toes.

For quite some time I was thinking about a triangular shawl that featured stripes of color emerging from one corner, spreading out all over the shawl. Also, I wanted a shawl that had one jagged edge. These two design elements were not possible with a traditionally constructed shawl. After some time, I realized both elements were only possible if...

This is the perfect project for everyone who has a bin full of left-over sock yarn. Dive into your stash and knit up this fun, bottom-up shawl with build-in fringe! It is worked in garter stitch, so there are only knit stitches (and some increases) and no purling. Also, there is only one row to remember, so there is no “right” or “wrong” side. N...

This asymmetrical, triangular shawl is worked on the bias. Columns of two different lace patterns emphasize this construction. “Sonja” can be worked to any size, using any weight of yarn and any gauge. Choose the needle size as big as you want for an open lace or as small as you want for a more dense fabric.

Dayna is a “heartshaped”, or crescent, shawlette made out of 100g sock yarn. Looking like a bird spreading his wings, Dayna is the perfect little accessory for your neck in transitional weather: you can wear it around your shoulders to show off the stitch pattern, or you can wrap it around your neck like a scarf if the weather gets c...

Using the lovely shoe lace cable pattern and matching the sock pattern, now there is also a hat pattern and mittens pattern available!

Design and function joined in an understated, easy to knit pair of socks! The gusset decreases are made out of place and hide in the side bands, which unite with the center panel to form a quiet cable.

The matching hat for the mittens and socks!

The matching mittens to the socks and hat!

These mitts are worked sideways, using short rows for the thumb gusset.

This slouchy hat is worked in two parts. First the band is worked in tunisian reverse stitch, then the main hat in tunisian simple stitch is added sideways using short rows to shape the crown. A button adds interest (this button is nonfunctional).

Inspired by my laced boots, these socks are worked cuff-down in a cabled pattern. The back of the sock features a “fake seam” and the foot length can be easily adapted as needed.

Description from Tangled:

This pattern was first published in 5 parts as a Mystery KAL from April 29 to June 3, 2011. Now it is available in a single file.

Cabled socks from the toe up, with unusual placement of gusset increases. Enjoy!

Morgain is a rather easy to knit lace shawl in the shape of more-than-a-halfcircle. It starts out with stockinette. In the lace part, The number of repeats does not change, therefore each repeat grows in width and length as more rows are knitted. The increases are spread throughout the shawl and are build into the lace repeat. And there’s even m...

From the toe emerges a cable pattern, broadening to the whole instep. At the gusset the cable design splits up, giving way for a different stitch pattern.

Looking for an easy to knit shawl that is a bit different? Then this pattern is for you! This shawl can be knit in any yarn, any gauge and to any size. Especially suitable for yarns with long color graduations for the main color, or to show off handspun yarns.

Sara is the big sister of my other sock pattern “Amy Lee”. Sara is basically not written for a beginning sock knitter, as she does not explain any special techniques (magic cast on, lifted increases, wrapped stitches/short rows, loose bind of). Of course you can give her a try if you use other sources for those techniques!

This pattern is available in english and german!

A bit of patterning on the leg - the cables on the front split up to give way for the gusset. Knitted top-down.

A lace shawl in “raglan” shape, or as I like to call it: batwing style!

This is a basic sock pattern with charted information about foot length, size, stitch count etc. and as a special: the needed yarn amount. You can choose between two heel variations, both without picking up stitches!

“Daphne” is a triangular shawl with braids: one runs along the top, and the other down the middle. The rest is easy seed stitch :-)

Gloves are too intricate for you? Try these 3-fingered gloves! Pattern available in english and german.

This pattern comes in three sizes to fit an adult’s head. If you need a different size or want to use a different yarn/have a different gauge, you can use the instructions given in this pattern to calculate your own hat!

One size fits most - and uses one 50g ball of sock yarn!
