When I first learned how to knit and needed to join yarn in a project, my instinct was to knot the knitted yarn and the new yarn together at the ends. (Hey, I heard that gasp!) Turns out my newbie intuition was waaay off the mark. A knot would, over time, certainly untie itself. Nothing …

I have tried so many glove patterns over the years that - well, just didn't fit... these fit wonderfully (I tried them on six different people, all perfect fits yeah!) These gloves are made using a simple stitch that creates the look of little knitted cables. They're made of sock yarn which gives them just the right amount of stretch and makes them especially fun to make - sock yarn is available in so many solid and variegated colors to choose from! Each glove is made of two pieces (back and palm side of hand) which are worked flat and then joined. These can be made either with pleated back with decorative button or clasp (shortie style) or with the cuff (instructions included). These make wonderful gifts! GAUGE: 8 sc and 8 rows = 1 inch SIZING: Instructions are included for sizes 6 1/2" (Small), 7" (Medium) and 8" (Large). Measurement is from base of hand (bottom of palm, just before wrist) to tip of middle finger. MATERIALS: Fingering/Sock Weight (#1) Yarn: Size 6 1/2" (Small) = 200-215 yds; Size 7" (Medium) = 250-265 yds; Size 7 1/2" (Large) = 300-315 yds. Variance is in gloves worked without-with cuff Crochet Hook Size B/1 (2.25 mm) (Optional) Button or Clasp

Sencilla (pronounced sen-SEE-ah) is Spanish for simple. Not simple, as in plain, but simple as in elegant. This cowl is just that; a simple, elegant cross between a bandana and a traditional cowl that’s easy to knit, wear and accessorize. **Please note that this is for a knitting pattern, not the actual cowl** Using just one skein of a luxury DK weight yarn, the cowl knits up quickly and feels delicious against your skin. Its unique shape provides warmth without bulk both at the back of the neck and at that awkward triangle where your jacket opens. Sencilla is begun at the bottom point and worked upwards in a triangle until it’s wide enough to go around your neck comfortably, at which point you join in the round to continue working upwards. A delicate little 4-stitch cable combined with a slip-stitch edging gives the piece a beautiful finish on the sides, while a single row of crisply defined stockinette stitches frames the textural centre panel. All-over patterning means this cowl will work equally well with variegated and tonal yarns. The cables join to form a beautiful detail behind the neck. Finally, an i-cord bind-off defines the top edge. All these little details come together to create a comfortable, sencilla cowl. Size: Small: 22 inches at the shoulders, 19 inches at the chin Large: 24 inches at the shoulders, 21 inches at the chin 2 special stitches are used, and step-by-step photo tutorials are provided for each one. The reference to grafting, I-cord and provisional cast-on are for the optional I-cord bind off at the top of the cowl, and step-by-step photo tutorials are provided for this as well. The rest of the cowl is a comfortable knit, mindless in the middle with just enough detail on the edges to keep you interested :) Because of the special stitches however, I recommend that a novice knitter consider getting assistance at their LYS with the first and second charts of the pattern.

This retro inspired cardigan has an ample and boxy shape - which is updated by it’s extra long sleeves and fun stripes in different sequences. The deep feminine neckline and the use of blocks of colour add interest and enhance the overall shape by modernizing an otherwise traditional and masculine garment. It is completely seamless and worked almost in one piece, from the top down. The sleeves and the buttonband are done with short rows and by picking up stitches from the body. The resulting garment is very light and comfortable, since it is done out of fingering weight sock yarn.

The Design “We think… baby yak!” Inspired by a ready-to-wear Italian cashmere cap, we engineered our hand-knit version to be sleek and utterly seamless. The super-fine fabric is doubled at the cuff with a tiny joining welt for extra warmth. And that cool welt could be popped with a fun, contrast color. Okay, the needles are tiny and the details a little fussy, but it’s worth it—we think! We knit this version in mYak Baby Yak Lace—a delicate, lace-weight yarn tailor-made for accessories like this! Two plies of baby yak down are gently twizzled together creating a fiber that’s warmer than sheep’s wool and as soft as cashmere. Heathered earth tones, rich neutrals, and saturated colors round out mYak’s color set—soothing, naturally processed and oh, so handsome!
