These legwarmers are meant to be warm, with full coverage right up to the knee, if not a bit over.

These fingerless gloves are not your rough-and-tumble snow ball throwing kind of gloves, but rather daintier take your-latte-on-the-patio kind of gloves.

These quick fingerless mitts are simple enough for the beginner knitter who is ready to try some new techniques, such as cables, working in the round on double pointed needles, make-one increases, and tubular cast on and bind off.

This square neck design does best as a light weight warm weather sweater with its open neck and relaxed fit.

These are very simple-to-make but versatile legwarmers. They slouch a bit at the ankle, but keep your calves warm.

This vest has less structure than a traditional sweater, but definitely more than any scarf or wrap ever had. It hangs on the body more securely than a scarf or wrap does, but retains some of the looseness and flow.

This pattern is what I love about crochet: fast and easy, with a simple stitch pattern that is fun and pretty cute.

This is a pretty simple pattern for working cuff-to-finger. All I really worked out are the proportions and the number of stitches/rows necessary to make nicely fitted fingerless gloves. You can try them on as you go too. With sock yarn! Self striping gives a little extra bang for your effort.

If the little boxes formed by this crosshatch stitch were true squares, this poncho would be symmetrical front to back, side to side. But they are slightly rectangular, so the back will be slightly longer. Which is good; the back neckline can be allowed to ride up a bit higher than the front, as a sweater would, and the bottom points should rea...

I have written instructions and charted instructions included in this pattern as seemed useful to me:

To make this little cup cozy you will need to know how to do foundation single crochet, slip stitch, chain stitch, single crochet, and double crochet.

This scarf (named for my home town) may appear complicated, but is actually pretty easy.

There is so much beautiful sock yarn available, and it is such a great weight for crochet garments! So I designed this simple crochet sweater for sock-weight yarn. It is a top-down yoked sweater constructed in one piece, with no seams and no turning-chains at the end of the rounds. It is a helix, spiraling around with the front side always faci...

When I was a student in France for my junior year of college, my French boyfriend’s grandmother showed me a crochet stitch that created a triangular shawl, starting at the bottom point. She made many warm shawls out of worsted weight yarn that hung casually on a hook by the back door. I don’t think this is the stitch she used, but she might hav...

The color design on this hat is created by working 3 accent colors, not as stripes with the hard-to-disguise jump at the end of the round. But instead it is worked as a helix or spiral. It is easy to do, the yarns just chase each other going round and round.

This would work with about 200 yards of most sock yarns, but the Smooshy with Cashmere makes for a luxurious, extra soft hat. The hat is started at the ribbed band and worked to the crown on circular and then double pointed needles.

The triangle stitch, which is just knits-and-purls, is shown in chart form. The rest of the instructions are written out. All you need to know to make this is how to cast on (long tail), and how to bind off. And how to knit and purl of course. That’s it. Simple but it makes kind of a luxurious cozy-but-generous cowl/infinity scarf.

I need to make another one so that I can note the pre-felted gauge. Which I neglected to do previously.

This version Kindle case is just a bit shorter; it just clears the top of the Kindle. No room for a snap or other closure at the top.

I added a couple of striped bands as decoration up at the top by needle felting.

I like tubular cast on for this neckline which I demonstrate at:

This pattern is in chart form, and there is also a second sheet explaining how to read the chart if you have never used one before.

If you want the edge to look like the one in the photo, then you will have to do tubular cast on - see it demonstrated by me here! And also tubular bind off, see it right here!

This hat is most easily knit on a 24” circular needle, but 4 double pointed would do, and 2 straight needles would even work but would be very awkward for just a stretch of it.

I am just loving all the turban-style hats I am seeing in the stores, or rather on the stores’ websites. And I love the roll of alternating stockinette and reverse stockinette for the brim of a hat. So here is my version.

This pattern uses provisional cast on, 3 needle bind off, and a double decrease worked by slip-two, knit-one, pass over.

Haven’t you always wanted to graft single rib?

This is so very easy to make. You just need to be able to cast on provisionally and to graft stitches. And knit of course.

It occurred to me after my last project (Crazy Knit-in-the-Round Cardigan) that one might start a sweater anywhere one wants. And, I generally prefer the look of a decrease to that of an increase. But I like to work top down so that I can try on the almost-finished sweater and fine-tune the length. But I also like to come at the neckline from t...

The pattern includes written instructions and a schematic drawing.

I used 11 skeins of this yarn.

You can wear this hat pulled down to cover your ears, or it can be pushed back on your head to be slouchy.

To make this crazy-knit-in-the-round cardigan, you need to be able to cast on provisionally, knit short rows, graft stitches, and bind off tubular style (which you can review at my blog http://wendycanknit.wordpress.com/).

This is the hat that is most often taken from my closet by other people!

This hat is very simple. You just need to be able to cast on provisionally, graft stitches, and also do an applied I-cord border.
