The Ribbons & Raindrops Sweater offers a refreshing take on a classic striped design, combining elements of texture and color to create a playful yet sophisticated look. Designed in stockinette stitch, the sweater is interrupted by colorful "ribbons" of garter stitch and "raindrops" of purl dots, adding an eye-catching detail. The hems and boat-neck are finished with mock cable ribbing for a polished, textured touch. With a loose fit and drop shoulders, this sweater is both comfortable and stylish, ideal for layering. Worked flat from the bottom up in pieces and sewn together, the design is a perfect balance of casual and creative, making it a versatile piece for any wardrobe. Whether you're dressing up or down, the Ribbons & Raindrops Sweater will add a burst of fun and texture to your collection. Read More

This lovely scarf is reversible with wrapped cluster puff stitches set against a background of marled seed stitch. This particular pattern has the puff stitches arranged in diagonal accent stripes, but they can easily be rearranged into an all-over pattern, horizontal stripes or any design that the knitter chooses. The pink and cream yarns create a soft, subtle contrast between the puff stitches and the textured background, but it would be simple to achieve a bolder look by using colors that contrast more strongly. The selvedge stitches of the scarf are worked as twisted slip-stitches for neat edges and the twisted fringe is added with a crochet hook after knitting for a decorative finish. Read More
Boccioli (blossoms in Italian) is an infinity scarf worked sideways to the desired length, followed by some grafting. Its boldest feature is in its simple lacework that’s enlivened by small bobbles in a contrasting, yet delicate, color. The lace pattern resembles the leaves of Italian heirloom zucchini, with flowers on the top of some branches, each one presented in different lengths to mimic a natural flowering pattern. The design has intentionally a vintage feel, reminiscent of old-hand embroidery with its small bobbles integrated in the lace stitches and the use of a color choice with mild contrasts. Read More
