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.

Utilizing simple hat shaping techniques, this reversible striped beret is an easy, entertaining knit. Work your first beret from the top-down using alternating stripes of natural boucle and a jewel tone fingering yarn. Then flow directly into the contrasting beret, using the same boucle and a different shade of contrasting color. Finish them off with a crown bobble on each hat and you’re all set with your new reversible fashion accessory.

This eye-catching wrap features colorful marled circles that are an easy alternative to intarsia colorwork. Here’s how it works: rather than using separate bobbins for each area of color, the main color is carried throughout the entire pattern and is marled together with the contrasting yarn of each circle. The end result is a gorgeous wrap that will be treasured for years to come.
