Designer Knitting Pattern
This design will surprise you for two reasons. It may look complicated, but you’ll discover it’s rather simple. The mosaic knitting technique is the most delightful way to do color work. You knit each row with only one color at a time incorporating slip stitches and eliminating half of the floats on the back side of your fabric. The second surprise is the yarn. Ecopuno looks, feels and behaves like the beautiful blend of alpaca and merino that it is, but it’s 72% cotton. So, be prepared to be surprised as you work this project and delighted when you finish it.

This could be the softest, lightest scarf you will ever make.

Designer Knitting Pattern
When I first saw Ecopuno yarn in white I immediately thought of light, fluffy snow. Snowflakes melt in your hand and this yarn seems to do the same.

I began to conceive snowflakes, large and small, fashioned from tiny eyelets. But I found all the options for creating eyelets disappointing. Needing them to be symmetrical, I created my own unique stitch. So, as you work this pattern, you’ll learn the new James’ Symmetrical Eyelet stitch.

And you’ll discover that this blend of the softest cotton with merino and alpaca is remarkable. What makes it so remarkable is the fact that it is 75% cotton, but you’re sure to believe it is entirely merino and alpaca. It is like knitting with air, when the air is filled with delicate snowflakes.

This scarf is a bit deceptive. It looks more difficult than it actually is.

Using only knit and purl stitches that shift sideways one stitch each row rather miraculously creates this irresistible zigzag pattern. While the design was written for HiKoo’s wonderful CoBaSi+, The weight, warmth, drape and even length are all up to you. So, be creative try any of our cashmere, alpaca, cotton, merino, llama or linen yarns and design your interpretation of this simple yet stylish scarf. We’re certain you’ll get lots of compliments.

If you like options, you’ll love this versatile hat and ear warmer.

Designer Knitting Pattern
With one pattern you can choose to knit a luxuriously soft ear warmer or, if you prefer, a hat that will keep the entire head warm. And there is an additional bonus. Both the hat and ear warmer are reversible, made up of two light-weight layers. The outer layer includes a decorative band of Fair Isle pattern. Pick from two classic patterns—gingham check or chevron—to customize your knit. The inner layer, which is seamlessly knit off of the outer layer, features solid bands of color. Both layers are worked in the round and are attached at the peak of the hat and/or along the edges. Turn the lined hat or ear warmer inside out for a dramatically different look and you’ve got one classy accessory that’s actually two.

This design uses eight patterns that are mirrored in a sequence from end to end.

When I wanted to create a wrap and scarf that is truly reversible, I searched through my collection of over 200 reversible stitch patterns. Then selected a few that are equally beautiful on both sides. The result is 16 different stitches.

For the yarn, I decided on two options: Basis, a blend of cotton, alpaca and cashmere; or Solo Lino, 80% recycled linen, 20% linen. Both are remarkable. Basis because its 75% cotton but you’re sure to believe it is entirely alpaca and cashmere. It does not feel, look or knit like a yarn that’s mostly cotton. The blended strand of alpaca and cashmere is wrapped in micro thin strands of cotton, which leave a glow of ultra-soft coziness. And Solo Lino because it doesn’t have the stiffness of linen yarn, instead its delightfully silky.

I’ve resisted yarns with polyester…until now.

When I was introduced to Popcycle, HiKoo’s blend of 50% recycled plastic bottles and 50% bamboo, I was amazed. It is exceptionally soft with a wonderful hand, yet cool and extremely strong. It looks beautiful due to a subtle tweed effect that is the result of each fiber taking the color differently when dyed. But the best part is there are 2 plastic bottles in each hank of yarn. A study in 2016 showed that Americans consumed 50 billion plastic bottles and only recycled 23%. Just one million plastic bottles recycled saves 250 barrels of oil and eliminates 180 metric tons of CO2 emissions from being released into the atmosphere. So, knitting with this sturdy, soft, cool, beautiful fingering weight yarn feels good in more ways than one.

Worked in the fisherman’s rib stitch you have all the nice benefits of brioche-style knitting but in a simple, loveable 2-row repeat.

Designer Knitting Pattern
Each of the nine colorways results in a cowl that is both beautiful and very cozy.

This yarn is the result of an international love affair between a colorful German and an elegant Peruvian. Zauberball Crazy and Sueño DK are a perfect couple. Each of the dual plies of Zauberball Crazy are dyed in distinctive variegations before being twisted together. The color blending is seductive. While the pairing of superwash merino and bamboo makes for a Peruvian yarn that you simply can’t resist.

Meet Sherlock. Inspired by the legendary Mr. Holmes and his renowned houndstooth print hat, our scarf is a modern take on the classic print.

The softest cashmere from Inner Mongolia is knit in the round, there is no wrong side. So, the fact that the yarn floats are invisible is no mystery. The result is a scarf that is luxurious and timeless and even perhaps worn by Sherlock, if he could have had one.

The Sutton Scarf is a delight for many reasons.

Designer Knitting Pattern
The large grid of two patterns is actually the front and back of the same stitch. So, you have a reversible scarf without a “wrong” side. It looks great no matter how you choose to wear it. The simple combination of knit, purl and slip stitches produce a subtle yet distinctive scarf. Enjoy the soft cashmere against your neck and the clean stitch definition, which is sure to prompt a few compliments. Both will feel very nice.
