Peridot Scarf

From the issue

Fringed and fabulous, the different lace details of this scarf are truly stunning. Its intricate design is enhanced by the combination of two lightweight yarns: a fingering weight wool/silk blend and a cotton metallic laceweight. On their own, each yarn has special qualities, but together, they really shine!

Diamond Shawl

From the issue

April’s birthstone is the stunning diamond. Diamonds can be a knitter’s best friend, too! Diamond motifs large and small sprinkle this rectangular wrap. Plant fibers keep this project suitable for warmer months, and a metallic thread woven through the yarn gives it just the right special sparkle.

Afternoon Coffee Cardigan

From the issue

Get ready to snuggle up with a good book and relax in this cozy, easy-to-wear cardigan. Though there are a lot of cables in this cardigan, it goes quicker than you’d think in a bulky yarn. Pockets and a fold-over collar lends a casual feel to a staple sweater.

Woodland Bunny

From the issue

Bunny can be seen gallivanting through the woods with her pal, Fox. Bunnies get cold sometimes, so it’s extra important to knit her a hat.
