Your little one will look as adorable as a Little Lamb wrapped in this fuzzy sweater. It’s knit raglan style, so it’s top-down and seamless. The wrap cardigan construction allows plenty of room to grow, so it will fit longer as they get bigger. It can be secured with fabric or I-cord ties, perfect for easy on-and-off. Designed in fuzzy and soft...

Sarah is a perfect in-between seasons jacket - just right for cool days in lieu of a coat. The half-fisherman rib is not quite as condensed as full fisherman rib, resulting in a lofty, slightly puffy fabric. Dramatic angled, drop-shoulders and oversized pockets make Sarah fun to knit and even more fun to wear!

This 2x2 ribbed wrap can be worn over any top and fits nicely under a coat. Its provisional CO and short-rows create a shape that will rest comfortably on your shoulders and help it to stay in place. Perfect for when you don’t know what to do with a less-than-sweater quantity of yarn. This pattern is also easily adapted for different gauges and...

Zip reminds me of a bull fight… you hold it out, your little Wild-One runs into it, you zip them down the back as they dash by and away they go! No struggle pulling it over the head or keeping it on because once they are zipped in, they can’t get it off.

Made from rag strips torn from fabric.

People may not believe you knitted this cowl — the fabric is more woven in appearance. I have used the Wrong Side as the exposed side but the reverse, Right Side is also interesting giving you a reversible piece. It is deceptively simple and very quick to knit. Use two soft yarns and you will have a plush, warm piece that you will never want to...

I love having a whole slew of these little felted pods on hand. They are great for displaying little plants but also come in handy as catch-alls for any number of things. Lined up on or hanging from a shelf, they provide a lovely disguise for paper clips, hair pins, knitting notions, or jewelry. Addicting to make and fun to gift, enjoy!

I love wearing scarves and am almost never without one… wool and cashmere in the winter to ward off the chill and cotton in the summer to ward off air conditioning. Nora is a more streamlined alternative to a lace shawl, simple, versatile and easy to knit on US 9 needles.

Like many knitters I know, I have picked up exquisite little balls of Habu yarn over the years with no real idea of how or even if I was going to use them. One day I started playing with the fishing net yarn and made a little basket for an air plant…which led to little hanging baskets for more air plants. The pattern is very basic and would pro...

The Weekend Wrap - because it can be completed in a weekend. Using DK weight yarn and US17 / 12 mm needles, it’s lace without the yarnovers and pattern repeats. The pattern includes a couple tricks for neat and springy bind-offs. Knit it with an interesting yarn (or yarns) and enjoy it all week!

I find myself drawn to beautiful thin yarns, but I’m too impatient to knit a sweater on US 1 / 2.25 mm needles. Here is a way to use thin yarn and small double points that moves along quickly and yields a very unique result. I’ve knitted with pearls, marbles and polished stones. Imagine beach glass, vintage beads or maybe even small shells. Hav...

Cocoknits is shocked, people, shocked to learn that there are households in America which do not contain a single pint cozy! How do you keep your fingers warm and your ice cream cold while eating directly out of the pint?

We love hot water bottles in our household. When the weather turns cold it’s so delicious to pre-heat the bed with a lovely, warm hot water bottle. They help tummy-aches, cramps and colds melt away. And I just found these pocket-sized hot water bottles to tuck in a big pocket to keep hands warm during a brisk walk. They just needed a malabrigo ...

Your options are wide open with the “fear of commitment” cowl! Button it right up close to your neck for maximum warmth. Too warm? Move the button so the cowl rests on your shoulders or somewhere in between. Super easy and fast, the trick is in connecting two buttons with elastic so you don’t have to commit to a button hole!

Yvonne is somewhere between a shawl and a cardigan; the perfect lightweight garment for air conditioning or cool evenings. I have seen this on all body shapes, from 5’ tall 32” chest to 5’ 11 tall 52” chest and it is universally comfortable and flattering. Its simple shape really shows off a gorgeous, drapey yarn.

Ilse is an easy knit with dramatic results. The stainless steel and wool give the skirt wonderful texture and body. Six crocheted cords run down the skirt and tie at the bottom allowing you to customize the ruching.

The Earflap hat is super soft and super warm thanks to the merino fleece worked in as you knit. It’s my own version of thrumming… “extreme thrumming” which is invisible on the outside but thick and warm as lamb’s wool on the inside.

This is not so much a pattern as a guideline for a simple double wrap cowl which can also be worn as a large loop around the neck (when your neck begins to overheat!) The nice thing about knitting a neck warmer this way is that it takes less yarn (and time) than a scarf yet is more substantial than a single cowl. Have fun trying different versi...

The welted scarf provides interesting texture but is very easy to work. Any smooth yarn will show off the pattern, have fun experimenting!

Carli is a slightly asymmetrical cardigan knitted in 2x2 rib. Knitted in DK weight yarn on US 6 / 4 mm needles, she’s a versatile basic worn open, belted or pinned.

These little pleated flats make a sweet gift for someone special, especially knitted in a super soft luxury yarn.

Snap is a fun little knit that is quick and seamless. It is knitted sideways using short rows to create the A-line shape and finished off with a big snap or button (with a hidden snap underneath).

While vacationing on the beach in Mexico many years ago, I picked up some sterling wire and freshwater pearls and knitted cuffs on the beach (too hot for wool!). Over time I’ve found that the bigger and sloppier the stitches, the more interesting the finished product looks — so don’t try to be neat and tidy. Have fun experimenting with differen...

Comfy and cozy Prairie Boots will get you through the coldest of winters. Turn them down for ankle length or leave them up to keep your shins warm. You don’t need to seam – just add funky buttons and they are ready to wear. Warning: it is so fun to watch them take shape on your needles that you may become addicted. But that’s okay, they make gr...

This is a fun project for a gray, cold day. It’s also a great beginner project so everyone can join in the fun! I have tweaked the original pattern so that you knit the leaves in one long chain; it’s faster and also eliminates much sewing-in of tails!

When my daughter was in high school, she was more likely to forget mittens than when she was five years old. So when she asked for a long, skinny scarf, I knitted the mittens right into the ends. It’s a big hit at her school because the kids think it’s kind of cool looking… and I know her hands are toasty.

Need an attractive way to store your stash? These big felted buckets measure 9-10” tall by 11-12” in diameter. They look especially cute lined with Amy Butler fabric.

We love projects that require no sewing, and this is one of them! Just felt this bag, and attach the strap with no-sew buttons. Voila! You’ve got a new knitting bag, cross-body purse, diaper bag…

Malabrigo yarn is so soft… wearing these loafers is like walking in a cloud.

The Everyday Wrap is very easy to knit and surprisingly warm… enough to cut the chill at a restaurant or party. Be sure to knit it in your very favorite and most flattering color and you will reach for it often!
