The Orchid Tee combines simple, relaxed elegance with a surprising twist. This wide-sleeved tank is a perfect project for knitters who want to dip their toes into creating a top, without the complexity. Featuring a lacy sleeve on one side, this design adds just the right amount of spice to the classic tank top silhouette, transforming an otherwise simple piece into a chic statement.

With its flattering, loose fit and breezy feel, this tee is an ideal addition to any wardrobe. The one lacy sleeve creates a unique asymmetry that adds flair, while the other side remains a clean, classic shape. Whether you’re looking to wear it as a casual summer piece or layer it for a more polished look, this tee is versatile, elegant, and fun to knit.

Perfect for those new to knitting garments, the Orchid Tee offers an easy-to-follow pattern that’s not too intimidating, yet still allows you to experience the satisfaction of creating a wearable, stylish piece. The soft, breathable yarn will keep you comfortable as you knit, and even more so when you wear your finished creation.

Burst Your Bobble Cowl

Get cozy in a dramatic way with this warm, bulky cowl. The structure of this stunning, yet simple pattern should get you noticed in the best way possible. This fluffy felt yarn was my most delighted choice for the big bobble motive to take the bobbles to extremes. This cowl can be knitted bottom up in rounds or in rows and sewn together in the end. The pattern offers both ways, so you can choose the way you prefer it the most.

Stoughton Coffee Bean Scarf

By

From the February 2017 issue

What we today call the coffee break originated in Stoughton, WI in the late 19th century with the wives of Norwegian immigrants. The stripes (or color breaks) of this scarf represent the breaks from work normally associated with the term coffee break.  And the unevenness of the stripes represents the difference in the way coffee breaks are taken from company to company and office to office. Unroasted coffee beans are green in color, which was the inspiration for the yarn chosen for some of the stripes. Who knew knitting could teach us so many fun facts?
