The warmer weather of spring encourages many to store away their knitted items until the cold returns, but the Upward Spiral scarf offers a compromise. Enough body to handle chillier spring mornings, but light enough that it doesn’t need to be put away once the sun comes out, this scarf is the perfect option for when everything starts going rig...

Socks are a lovely gift, and for those who like to keep gifts a secret beforehand, the stretchiness of these socks means they’ll fit a very wide variety of people. The Right Twists also provide a bit of pizazz for those who don’t want to knit a plain ribbed sock.

Toasty Triangles is a top down sock with a short row heel that makes use of stranded colorwork. The sample is knit with mini skeins, but it is a fantastic stash buster, so feel free to use whatever fingering weight yarn you have leftover from other projects!

Pit Stop Polka Dot is an easy sock pattern suitable for a first sock for someone who wants a little more visual interest than a basic vanilla sock and is easy enough for a more experienced knitter to work on while admiring the scenery on a road trip.
