Inlet has a clean look and shows off the beauty of the yarn. This top only uses knit and purl stitches. To make an interesting texture without being complicated, some sections are worked with two strands of yarn held together, and some sections are worked with one strand of yarn.

Plateau has a unique fabric and features color play. Using only knit and purl stitches, the larger gauge makes a sheer fabric for a feminine and elegant look.

Doodles KAL starts on Jan 27th.

This pullover uses three different sizes of the same lace pattern. The large lace pattern is worked at the bottom of the front which creates a wavy hem. The medium lace pattern is worked in the middle of the front and back. The small lace pattern is worked on the sleeves.

This lightweight top has two options for sleeves. The flutter sleeves are left unseamed at the edges so they flutter and add unexpected interest. It’s a playful and unique style. The kimono sleeves have a relaxed yet elegant look because it has a larger portion of see-through fabric.

This top is beautiful in its simplicity – a construction of three rectangles producing a horizontal line and V neck on the back, these are focal points for this top. Gathered cuffs add more interest.

The center vertical lines in front and back provide unique artistic style, breaking up horizonal lace lines. This poncho-like garment is made with two rectangular panels, and seaming the shoulders connects the panels.

You need to know only knit, purl and slip stiches to make this top. No shaping is worked as the stitch pattern automatically shapes the neckline. Interesting vertical stripes using two colors, combining Stockinette Stitch and Reverse Stockinette Stitch, and alternating those stitches add interest for the color play and texture.

This airy top is comfortable to wear and keeps you cool in the summer heat. The top is all about color.

This asymmetrical top is shaped with tuck stitches. Tuck stitches worked only on one side of the top pull the knitted fabric up on that side. The shorter right side and longer left side create visual interest.

Lily is airy and elegant, knit with DanDoh’s extra-soft Linen. The lacy design is a perfect summer layer, and includes three options for length and two sleeve shapes — it’s easy to adapt Lily to your personal style.

The body and sleeves of this cardigan are knit without any shaping. So, you can focus and enjoy creating a unique knitted fabric. The Body stitch pattern is a combination of stockinette stitch and a lace pattern, and the lace pattern sections vary in width, creating an asymmetrical look.

This unique top is quite simple to make because you only need to know three basic techniques - knit, purl, and slip.

Sandscape is shaped in a rectangular-like fashion. It is an enjoyable pattern with a slight A-line shape and only one row of shaping that causes the back neck to fit nicely.

This cowl uses my signature cable dropped stitch lace pattern. It makes an eye-catching piece. This stitch pattern combines cables and dropped stitches, so if you know how to work with cables, you are good to go!

This scarf uses a popular pattern, Feather and Fan stitch pattern. Feather and Fan stitch pattern is many people’s favorite, and it is easy to make beautiful lacy fabric with the scalloped edges.

This unique scarf is a lovely accessory that can be worn with a variety of outfits – a simple tank or a turtleneck.

This garment is all about colors!

This is the second design in the Shadows series. For this version, there are a few sleeve choices: sleeveless, T style sleeves and 3/4 sleeves. There is no neck shaping so it is easier to adjust the neck width to your preference.

I wanted to have a very long cardigan in my wardrobe. Something that looks special, but easy to wear with my daily wardrobe. Using a lace pattern with stockinette stitch gives a lighter look but has still good structure for a longer top.

Crossroads ll is knitted with a combination of lace, stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches.

The body of this top is worked from the bottom up with no shaping. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knit out from the body. The sleeves are worked straight until just before the cuffs where decreases are worked to produce a curve at the end.

This poncho is all about colors!

Enjoy this simple organic style poncho.

Horizon is a versatile, rectangular sleeveless top that is knitted using mostly knit and purl stitches. Sleeves are optional.

Links is a beautiful and simple textured cowl. It is made by combining smooth stockinette and textured eyelet stitches. Due to working with two strands of tape yarn held together using larger needles, the knitted fabric is chunky and textured. The larger eyelets make the fabric lighter.

Elemental Dolman is worked from the top down with a pretty lace stitch pattern at the shoulders. Once the shoulders have enough length, the Front and Back are worked separately. The Front and Back are joined again to work the lower body in the round. The body length is adjustable.

This fun, slightly slouchy and colorful cowl is a nice addition to your wardrobe.

This asymmetrical top is shaped with slipped stitches. Slipped stitches worked only on one side of the top pull the knitted fabric up on that side. The shorter right side and longer left side create visual interest. The eyelet stitch pattern in the windows created by the slipped stitches are an attractive focal point.

This unique top is quite simple to make because you only need to know three basic techniques - knit, purl and slip. Worked from the bottom up, two rectangles are worked with no shaping.

This pattern uses chains, double crochets, Front Post and Back Post trebles and Front Post and Back Post double trebles. Cables are fun to try.

This easy fit sweater is perfect for any age and flattering on all body types!

This beautiful textured raglan pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down. Using DanDoh DK Cotton, this yarn’s thick and thin characteristic makes for a unique fabric. Wear it with “Elemental Cowl” in different look.

Stitch Pattern B (multiple of 4 sts)

This garment is made with four rectangular pieces, two for the front and two for the back.

This poncho is a simple version of my River Ripples poncho. Instead of cables and dropped stitches within the cables, only knit and purl stitches are worked to create a lacy look.

This feminine poncho has two lace stitch patterns - straight eyelet mesh and wavy lace. These two different types of lace show off each other well.

The shawl begins with full motif patterns and then partial motif patterns make up the edges, giving the edges a clean line. For the longer top edging is used a part of the motif pattern and finished the edging, and it comes the zigzag edging after the shawl was blocked.I’m sure that you will enjoy wearing this shawl for a night out on the town!

This top is an airy and oversized pullover, perfect to throw over a tank in the warmer months. It’s an easy, bottom-up knit and features a longer back to help create the drapy silhouette.

A kit (beads, pattern and yarn) is available on DanDoh website

This cardigan shows off a beautiful combination of a heavier fabric, which is knit with two strands of yarn, and a lighter fabric, which is knit with one strand of yarn.

I did not have any hats until a couple of months ago. I own one now because I met a woman who always wears hats, and her sense of style made me want to have a hat. She wears very simple clothes, but her hats make her fashion statement. Her hats are not too decorative but striking in style, and just simple enough to match everyday clothes. The h...

The main stitch pattern, the Star Net Stitch pattern, is worked using basic crochet stitches -- chain, single crochet and triple crochet. The edging incorporates a puff stitch.

This is a great decorative piece to dress up with every day. The linen fabric will drape nicely on your shoulder, and it’s great from spring to fall.

I needed a knitted top for a special event in Japan. The event was in the fall, and I wanted the knitted top to match their seasonal style. Also, of course, I wanted to wear it in the warm climate here in Arizona. I designed a vest with large armholes so I can wear it with a tank top for a cool and breezy look, or I can wear it with a long slee...

I started to make a poncho with a vertical Dropped Cable stitch pattern. I seamed it, then I tried it on… and I was surprised that it was an uncomfortable fit. The vertical cables were right next to my arm and did not have any stretch! So I put it into a time-out.

This simple quick project makes a sparkly accessory and a thoughtful gift. It is the perfect beginner project, using only chains. Beads, cord ends, and toggle clasps give a perfectly finished look to your bracelets. There are 2 styles of bracelet, if you add a chain to the cord ends, you can use it as necklace as well!

This simple rectangle with buttons can be worn as a shawl, a poncho, or a cape.

This small scarflette is perfect for a touch of warmth on a cool summer evening or a breezy spring day. It is a shallow triangular shape and knit from side to side in stockinette stitch with a simple lace edging. Using about 210 yards of DK weight yarn, it is easy, fun to knit and quite quick.

This beautiful shawl is made with connecting crocheted motifs. The crocheted lace look is quite different from knitted lace. It has larger open spaces on the fabric, not fragile, and it has more body.

Here is my new design with the Dropped Stitch Cable pattern. I wanted to design something where the lines are vertical and with a different look from my previous designs with the Dropped Stitch Cable pattern.

This simple cowl is a great project for adventurous beginning knitters willing to try knitting two strands of yarn held together and making fun color combinations. Three wide blocks make up this cowl. The top and bottom blocks are two different solid colors, and the center block uses one of each of these colors. The yarn I used is a thin cotton...

This clever infinity wrap is twisted in the middle in the same manner as a Mobius strip. It is a rectangle worked flat with two fun stitch patterns and then twisted and joined to form the Mobius shape It is a piece and can also be worn as a wrap.

This poncho-like pullover is made by knitting two rectangles: one for the right front and back and another one for the left front and back. The two rectangles are seamed together along one long edge of each rectangle to make the center seam of the pullover, leaving an opening for the neck.

This lacy ruffles scarf is layered with 2 different sized strips and are not sewn together! First, make a larger base strip, then make a smaller strip over the first strip, joining as you go. Or you can make just one strip for a single layer, and that would be a lovely scarf by itself, too. The center chain spaces are used as buttonholes that a...

This is beautiful lacy textured Top. I designed it to be short but oversized, and with short sleeves. I like the combination of the short length with the extra ease, which gives it grate drape. The pattern offers three chest sizes and too length so you can choose the combination that works best for your style.

This is a simple cowl that is easy to enjoy making because of its combination of patterns. This wavy line is not with short rows. It is the combination of slip stitches and knit stitches. The wavy lines which are created by slipped stitches, make fun “windows”, and some “windows” have eyelet or seed stitch patterns to give them some variation.

These Poncho-like garments are made by knitting one piece of fabric, then grafting one edge and seaming another to create a neck opening and one armhole.

This shrug is made by sewing together two rectangles that are the same size, and it can be worn with either side up. The simple shape and simple construction give a simply beautiful result

It takes a lot of knitting to make a shawl, often more than you think, and it can feel like it takes forever to complete one. This shawl combines four simple stitch patterns, so that’s enough variety that you will enjoy working it to the end. As a fun bonus, there are different lacy patterns at each end to create an asymmetrical look

I designed it to be a sleeveless top with no body shaping. But the neck shaping is a little more challenging on this one. If you prefer not to do the neck shaping, you can knit the front the same as the back, and your top will have more of a boat neck. Placing a couple of stitch markers on your work to keep track of the stitches as you decrease...

This simple scarf has fun edges, and stockinette stich loops to purl one end through to hold it closed. It starts at the cable knot edge, then you work an easy stitch pattern made with a combination of Knit and Purl stitches. At the end, work stockinette stitch strips and graft them to the body of the scarf. Then enjoy this simple but stylish s...
