Caley Fisherman’s Rib Scarf

If you’re in need of a quick and easy scarf pattern and you want to try out the trendy and classic Fisherman’s Rib, Caley is the scarf for you. The vertical stripes and two-color rib that’s reversible is easy to love and easy to knit while watching TV.

The scarf is written for a single size, but very easy to adjust to whatever amount of yarn you have!

This pattern is available on the I Like Knitting Website.

Ar Lan y Môr Socks

The Ar Lan y Môr (Welsh for ‘by the seaside’) Socks were inspired by the ripples of seaweed and other water plants that grow just below the waterline of many lakes, rivers and seas around the world, as well as the imagery of the Welsh folk song of the same name – flowers and grasses rippling beside the sea.

The garter and stockinette stitch lace gives the socks some stretch without being too snug on the leg. The leg and foot length are both adjustable to the wearer’s preference, and the stitch pattern is complicated enough to keep some interest, while simple enough to be ‘television knitting’. These socks are knit from the cuff down, the heel is a heel-flap and gusset, and the toe is seamed with kitchener stitch.

The lace stitch is charted and written, this pattern also has an accessible large print option that is compatible with screen-reading software which includes the written instruction.

Garden Lace Socks

These socks come from several ideas, but the biggest one was the idea of travelling lace leaves. I fell in love with this motif the first time I saw it, and this seemed the perfect place to use it! When I was working the partial garter rib, it reminded of a newly sown garden, all in neat lines. Hence, the name of the socks was a relatively easy choice!

These socks are knit cuff-down, with a standard heel flap and grafted toe. While the sample was knit on dpns, the pattern is written to be knitted using any circular knitting method. The lace motif is both written and charted. Instructions are given for two sizes.

Ice Cream Sundae Socks

These socks were the result of playing with yarn and stitch dictionaries. I wanted a stitch pattern that would show off variegated yarn and keep it from being 'ugly'. The Ice Cream Sundae Socks were the result!

These socks are knit from the cuff-down, with either double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop method. They use a heel flap and gusset heel, with an slip-stitch heel flap for additional durability. The instructions are written; the lace pattern is both charted and written.

Instructions are given for two adult sizes.

Pine Cone Gloves

These gloves came about as, and I quote: “the hand knit version of the nylon gloves you can find in a dollar store.”

I wanted a pair of gloves that were lightweight, but very snug to the hand, perfect for spring or early fall, or, to layer under other mittens or gloves during winter.

The Pine Cone Stitch pattern uses only knits and purls to create a fun, textured stitch that I instantly fell in love with! So it seemed only natural to put these two ideas together to knit up a pair of lightweight gloves in fingering-weight yarn.

They’re available in 4 adult sizes.

Spring Leaves Market Bag

The inspiration for this Market Bag came from the (now defunct) Ravelry Designer’s Challenge with the theme of “spring awakening”.

The bag starts with a pinhole cast on. Increases are worked into a leaf lace pattern to form the base of the bag. The leaf lace transitions to a lace mesh, and finishes with a garter stitch edging. A twisted cord allows for easy carrying and helps to keep the bag tied shut!

Statement Cabled Socks

The Statement Socks are specifically designed to be beautiful heavy socks, perfect for cold winter weather or for participating in winter sports!

The socks are knit cuff down with a slipped-stitch heel flap and grafted toe. The cable instructions are both charted and written. The pattern comes in multiple adult sizes; and is further adjustable to your own foot for a proper fit!

Alpine Hat

This hat was one of my early forays into crochet design, worked up in the wonderfully squishy and dense Alpine Stitch! The hat comes down over the back of the neck and over the ears, with a dense stitch pattern to keep the wind away and the sizing runs a touch large, to go over headphones, ponytails, and hair buns! It starts at the crown with a crochet magic loop, then increases out to the full head circumference. The Alpine Stitch tends to curl, so a few rows of single and double crochet round out the bottom rim.

Cherry Blossom Hat

This hat was inspired by the cherry blossoms blooming in spring. The air is still cool, and sometimes, there's even still a touch of snow!

This hat is designed to be a spring/fall hat, perfect for that half-skein of leftover sock yarn. You can get two hats (depending on size) from one standard (400 yard) skein of sock/fingering yarn!

Hat comes in two adult sizes; and is worked from the brim to the crown in the Berry Stitch Pattern.

Garden Trellis Fingerless Mittens

These mittens are a sister pattern to the Garden Trellis Hat; done in the same yarn -- the amazing Scuttleship Romney from Bobolink yarns. They are designed for four adult sizes, and a customizable cuff length, too!

With simple bobbles and post stitches, it's a good introduction to slightly more 'adventurous' crochet, while still being simple enough to work on while watching tv or commuting on the train.

The palm is done in alternating rows of sc and dc to create a denser fabric that helps protect the palm of your hands..
