A fingering-weight merino/cashmere/nylon blend gives indulgent results for those who don’t have access to cr...

You can use that phenomenon, dominate it, if you will, to create magical striping without changing yarns.

Whether you want to use up a bit of yarn leftover from knitting a hat for someone larger or you want a quick baby gift that almost knits itself, this simple stockinette beanie with wide-ribbed edge and a simple to execute 4-point decrease will be as fun to knit as it is to give.

Use up your leftover sock yarn by knitting a preemie cap for donation to a local hospital. The Tree of Life design is especially suited for this purpose.

The pattern includes asymmetric thumb gussets for better fit and uses the technique of stripey knitting. Can be knit in one color, but with two colors the simple technique adds a lot of punch.
