Coastal Comfort Cable Blanket-Pillow

This blanket design draws inspiration from a knitted fabric discovered amidst the belongings of a cherished family member. Originally sized for a baby blanket or pillow, this pattern has been expanded to create a larger version suitable for wrapping the whole family in warmth. The versatile design functions as both a blanket and a pillow, featuring a convenient pouch to maintain its shape when folded.

Zigzag Reversible Wrap

This fun rectangular shawl blends marled seed stitch with double-knit zigzags to create an eye-catching, reversible wrap. The colorwork is inspired by Anna Maltz’s “marlisle” technique, but uses double knitting instead of stranded colorwork so that there is no wrong side. The seed stitch background is worked with both colors of yarn held together, and then each color is used separately to create the double-knit zigzag motif. The suggested yarns pair an ombré pink with an ombré gray to create an interesting gradient effect. As a finishing touch, a tassel is added to each corner of the shawl. The dimensions of the wrap can easily be modified to create a narrower scarf or a wider blanket, as desired.

Adventure Blanket

Embrace warmth throughout the year with this cozy blanket. Knitted flat, it begins with a 2×2 rib edge, transitions into the Adventure pattern, and concludes with another 2×2 rib edge. The pattern repeat is flexible, allowing customization to your preferred size. Note that altering the size may impact yarn usage. If needed, switch to larger needles for the Fair Isle section to maintain gauge. Crafted with undyed, 100 percent Peruvian Highland Wool, this blanket is not only comforting but also an earth friendly addition to your collection.

Arctic Shimmer Brioche Headband

This charming winter headband features a two-color brioche motif that is worked with a cozy bulky-weight MC yarn and a sparkly worsted-weight CC yarn. The suggested Hygge yarn makes the project super soft and warm to wear, and the Sparkle yarn is fun and glamorous, making the finished ear warmer a perfect accessory for any festive occasion. The headband begins with a basic long-tail cast-on and is worked flat in two-color brioche in a pretty stitch pattern (though plain two-color brioche ribbing could easily be substituted, if desired). The project concludes with a basic bind-off, then the cast-on and bind-off edges are sandwiched and sewn together to create the stylish twisted seam that can be worn at the front or back of the headband.

Tawny Sweater Blazer

Cardigans: cozy. Blazers: polished. Why not combine the two and look put together while still being snuggly and warm? This cardigan features knitted lapels like a blazer, but it’s a bit oversized and bulky to keep you cozy all winter long. Belt the middle for a more work-ready look.

Cavalier Cabled Throw

Cavalier is a cozy cabled throw worked in a bulky weight yarn with a stockinette and garter stitch diamond pattern. The cast on and bind off, plus the sides, are worked with I-cord to result in neat, fray-free edges. I-cord is also a great place to hide ends when changing skeins of yarn. Once complete, the start and finish edges are decorated with tassels for additional flair.
