Inspired by the swirly designs created when wind blows over sand, the Sandswept Sweater is an allover-lace drop shoulder sweater knit in an Aran weight cotton. Knit from the bottom up in pieces, this project is meant for layering. Wear it over your favorite tank, dress or (as the weather warms) a swimsuit.

This fun design explores variations of *knit 1, purl 1* stitch patterns to create a textured hat that is very easy to customize. The pattern uses 1×1 ribbing, moss stitch and seed stitch to illustrate the different effects that are created by shifting the vertical alignment of alternating knits and purls, creating a bold sampler of textured stitch motifs. Featuring decorative Latvian braids, contrasting colors and topped with a speckled pom pom, this cozy hat will keep you stylish and warm all season long.

Drawing inspiration from pashminas, this ever-so-slightly oversized scarf lets you add a stylish and light extra layer. It’s easy to make and so easy to wear. Worked entirely in stockinette and seed stitch, this design is great for beginners and may just tempt an experienced crocheter to give knitting a try!

Beautiful variegated hues pop up throughout the textured thick-and-thin yarn stripes featured in this bag. Spaced apart with alternating bands of solid colors, this bottom-up stitched bag features a unique tassel look and is created with a knit cast-on technique while an I-cord finishes the decorative tassels and binds off the bag’s top edge.
