Knitting: Shrug / Bolero, Scarf, Shawl / Wrap
Confluence Knit Shawl weaves together eyelet lace, open mesh, and slipped-stitch texture into an asymmetric wrap that rewards experienced knitters who love technique-rich making. The flowing, drapey fabric is engineered by working DK yarn on generously sized needles, letting the stitches open up into structured, light-catching sections.

Knitting: Throw
Pawsitively Remembered is an advanced double-knit throw designed to honor a beloved pet through the most enduring thing a knitter can make: a piece of fabric that holds their memory on both sides. Built in the reversible double knitting technique, this throw works two layers simultaneously so that motifs appear on each face of the finished fabr...
Knitting: Cowl
Softwater Knit Cowl draws its character entirely from slipped-stitch texture: a single technique that, in the right hands and with the right yarn, transforms chunky fabric into something tactile, dimensional, and satisfying to work row by row. Malabrigo Chunky brings the softness the name promises, and the stitch pattern creates a surface worth...
Knitting: Mittens
Intertwined Knit Mittens layer cables, twisted stitches, and slip-stitch texture over a snug ribbed cuff for a bulky accessory that knits up almost as fast as it disappears into a coat pocket. Bottom-up and worked entirely in the round, these mittens give easy-level knitters a genuine technique workout without the commitment of a bigger project.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Intertwined Knit Hat brings cables, twisted stitches, and slip-stitch texture together in a boldly patterned beanie that works up fast on US 11 needles. Easy enough for knitters ready to move beyond plain ribbing, it looks far more complex than it knits and makes a natural next step for anyone building their technique repertoire.
Knitting: Cowl
Intertwined Knit Cowl wraps things up in the simplest, most satisfying way: twisted stitches and slipped-stitch texture on big US 13 needles, worked in bulky merino into an oversized loop that settles over shoulders like it was always there. No cables to track here, just a rich, tactile surface that looks far more considered than the stitch cou...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Quietude Knit Shawl draws on the Estonian lace tradition to pair twisted stitches and eyelet openwork with structured ribbing in a rectangular wrap of quiet, layered beauty. This is a pattern for experienced knitters drawn to old-world technique and the meditative rhythm of working fine alpaca into something enduring.
Knitting: Scarf, Shawl / Wrap
Through the Looking Glass Knit Shawl is built sideways: instead of growing outward from a tip or spine, the fabric travels along the length of the shawl, letting lace motifs and eyelet patterning unfold in a direction that changes how the finished piece moves and drapes. An asymmetric triangular silhouette and customizable sizing make this an e...
