One of the trickiest things about sock fit is understanding how gauge and stretch work together when you knit with different pattern stitches. In this universal pattern, you can try all different combinations and knit up a drawer full of custom-fit socks.

Last year I took a colorwork knitting class with Canadian designer Sylvia Olsen, author of Knitting Stories: Personal Essays and Sevenv Coast Salish-inspired Knitting Patterns and Working with Wool: A Coast Salish Legacy and the Cowichan Sweater. I learned that this style of knitting is the only 100% North American knitting tradition. I designed this cowl because I had so much fun in the class, I wanted to keep knitting more Coast Salish-inspired patterns.

This slouchy hat begins with a deep ribbed brim that is folded in half to keep the wind off your ears. The body of the hat is colorwork which also adds an extra layer of warmth. The pattern and crown are worked in a slow- changing gradient giving you the illusion of using multiple colors while only having one contrasting yarn.

The mitts remind me of my summers spent in northern Europe where it’s never quite warm enough to dress like you’re in Florida. A cowl and pair of fingerless gloves are a must to have in your purse for the times you get caught in a cool breeze or an afternoon rain shower. If you’re in the United States, you may find that they come in handy

The body of this shawl is worked in the Scalloped Shell

This warm and cozy hat features a lacy brim, a Baltic braid trim, and a geometric Lithuanian design representing the sun. In winter, when sunshine is scarce, thoughts of long, warm summer days help keep up morale during the cold, dark months. Knit on larger needles than the matching mittens, the hat is softer and stretchier while remaining just as warm. Stranding the unused color across the back of the work creates a double-layered fabric that effectively blocks the wind.

Whether you’re playing in the snow, taking a winter walk, or just trying to stay cozy, these knitted Wintermitts patterns are a practical and stylish accessory for cold weather.

This pattern is all about the luxurious yarn, hand dyed in Alaska. I combined soft and squishy Brioche Stitch, also known as Fisherman’s Rib, with one skein of wool and one skein of wool-silk blend. The colors combine to remind me of the harbor in Cordova, where I bought these yarns at The Net Loft, one of my favorite yarn stores in the world.

I love felted bags and multicolored projects, but working with two or more colors at once can be challenging when it comes to felting. Color-work areas may shrink more than solid areas, and unfortunately knitters won’t know this until a project is already knit and felted. To avoid this problem, Here I mixed stripes and entrelac, working large s...

This pattern uses one of Dorothy Reade’s charts that I found in her unpublished papers. It can be used as a single motif such as in this bag, or as a tile to sew together into larger items such as a bedspread.

It is worked from the bottom up, beginning with a beaded cast-on, moving into two different lace motifs, and finishing at the top edge with a smooth I-cord bind-off. In the round, you will knit even rounds instead of purling wrong-side rows.

As much as I enjoy the challenge of working with complex stitches and fine yarn, sometimes there’s nothing as nice as a simple project and taking my time to enjoy the feel of the yarn and needles in my hands. The same goes for lace patterns: sometimes I like a design that twists and turns and has different maneuvers on every row, and sometimes ...

This cowl is for Anthony Bourdain (1956-2018). RIP. The beauty of the world can take us to immeasurable heights of joy, and it’s awfulness can drop us in to the darkest pits of despair. Beauty and despair can both be seen in Anthony Bourdain’s work. He never hid from the latter, and wherever he went, he always did his best to show us the former.

This hat reminds me of the amber jewelry on sale in almost every shop in the tourist district of Vilnius, Lithuania. It is oh so hard to walk down the street and not buy amber jewelry at every turn!

You can change the size by using smaller or larger needles and thinner or thicker yarn. You can change the style by using a different ribbing pattern for the leg. After you make a few pairs, you’ll memo...

The columns of ribbing that separate the individual motifs on this tam remind me of the legs of a starfish. They are made out of twisted knit stitches that are worked straight up from the brim of the hat to the last few rounds of the crown shaping.
