Adult slouchy beanie featuring doxies and bones in fingering weight yarn and stranded colorwork. Knitting skill level: intermediate.

Easy but striking blanket, stockinette and garter stitch, some crochet for the vertical stripes. I used three colors but the possibilities are endless.

I created this pattern to use yarn gifted to me. There wasn’t enough of one color to make an afghan but combining two coordinating colors worked well. You will need to be able to change colors in a row.

I created this hat in response to a family’s request for personalized hats in their favorite team colors. After knitting 12 of them, I thought perhaps others might like to make some as well. I used most of one skein for the main color and a smaller amount for the contrast color.
