Knitting: Washcloth / Dishcloth
Looking for an easy knitting project? These cloths are the perfect addition to any knitter’s arsenal. They all use 1 beginner-friendly construction, but strategic color changes make each pattern completely unique (and never boring). This is a modern twist to the garter-stitch dishcloth. No increasing, decreasing or seaming!

Knitting: Cowl
Like most cowls, this one is knit in the round. A series of “cinches” pull the center of the cowl inward, leaving the top and bottom edges loose. The result is a sturdy, ultra-cozy cowl that holds in place around your neck.

Knitting: Christmas Stocking
This knitting pattern creates a Christmas stocking inspired by Saint Nick.

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
