Pattern
This handy little shoulder pouch is knit as a rectangle with a few eyelets, then folded and sewn up the sides. The eyelets and a simple I-cord provide easy closure. The tassels were added because the design just seemed to ask for them. Have fun with this playful project.

Yarn
Lana Grossa’s Riserva, Aran, 70% Organically Grown Bio Cotton, 30% Recycled Polyamide, Eco-Yarn

Organically grown cotton and recycled polyamide are a perfect match for sustainability, and I found Riserva to be the perfect match for Ali. Because it feels so soft in your hands but provides excellent strength and stability for this adorable little drawstring pouch. Plus, the recycled polyamide adds additional softness and a little elasticity.

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.

Yarn
Ecopuno, 72% Cotton, 17% Merino, 11 % Alpaca, DK weight

Pattern
If you want the fun of creating a truly unique tie, Brad is the one for you. The concept for this two-colored interwoven creation is simple. The strip of the tie that is typically hidden behind the wider portion in front is showcased when laced through six small horizontal slits. The seed and linen stitches are combined with what are in fact extended buttonholes resulting in a tie that is fun to knit. The color change occurs under the collar, so the result is intriguing and the person who wears it ends up with a delightful conversation piece hanging from his neck…or yours.

Yarn
Brown Sheep’s Cotton Fine, 80% Pima Cotton, 20% Merino Wool

The cotton makes for a cooler garment while the wool provides more resilience. It has a wonderful hand whether working with it or wearing it.

Pattern
Caribe is a tribute to the Virgin Island Oceanographic Park created to protect the waters, sea life and reefs that surround the island of Saint John. The scarf or wrap pattern is worked in the rather amazing shadow knitting technique, which is simple knit and purl stitches in 2 colors. When viewed directly, you see only stripes but from an angle a school of fish magically appear. Doesn’t that sound like fun?

Yarn
HiKoo’s CoBaSi+, Light Worsted, 55% Cotton, 16% Bamboo, 8% Silk, 21% Elastic Nylon

In this amazing blend of fibers, the cotton and bamboo are the basis for a washable yarn, silk adds strength, and elastic nylon helps the finished garment hold its shape. The result is soft and gentle with a wool-like stretch.

Pattern
Charlotte is named after the historic town of Charlotte Amalie on the island of Saint Thomas. The design is a tribute to the warn ocean waves that wash the sandy beaches. It is a bit deceptive because it is much easier that it appears—two-by-two rib with alternating groups of drop stitches. The tunic is fashioned from two simple rectangles artfully sewn at the shoulders and the sides. The beautiful, soft recycled linen yarn and the stitch pattern allow the piece to drape and grow with a soft flowing ease.

Here is a modern take on a simple tie—a little four-stitch cable running vertically in the midst of one-by-one ribbing. This skinny tie is both modern and reminiscent of nostalgic looks from the 50s. The colorful cable is knitted into the tie using the intarsia technique. And surprise the cable disappears inside the knot at the neck. So, enjoy this rather playful pattern and create a fun tie for a rather playful fellow, stylish lady, or for yourself.

“This could be the softest, lightest wrap you will ever make. When I first saw Ecopuno yarn in white I immediately thought of light, fluffy snow. I began to conceive snowflakes fashioned from tiny eyelets. But needing eyelets to be symmetrical, I created my own unique stitch. Snowflakes melt in your hand and this wrap seems to do the same.”

Pattern
Here is a pattern with four designs in one. Both the tie and complementary pocket square are double knit designs. The CoBaSi blended yarn includes elastic nylon, which results in a very snug stitch pattern when knitted tightly. The results are ideal for double knitting and for creating a tie that can easily be tied without stretching and distortion. The polka dot pattern provides an even attachment between the two layers of stockinette. And the color pairing provides nice options for suits and for casual sport coats. The pocket square is the final fashion touch for the gentleman, or lady, who enjoys just a hint of dandy in their wardrobe.

"This tie is a classic. I love Jim's double-knit pattern. Very well written."
~ Elliott M.

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