Gauntlet
Mittens
Take a 100% wool yarn, preferably one with self-striping colours. Work an oversized
mitten, with long cuffs, then felt it to the perfect size.
It will be dense and strong and warm, ideal for those cold
winter days. |
 |
Ribbed
Neck Warmer
What better way to add warmth when the weather cools than with a ribbed neck
warmer?
Choose a favourite colour and cast on to work a ribbed tube
that increases in width to cover the shoulders, too. |
 |
Caribou
Reminiscent of the caribou’s unique markings, this textured
cap is worked first in the round for the brim. It is then worked
back and forth in rows to accommodate the separate striping
along the depth of the cap.
Work this cap in any two-colour combination to create your
own unique signature. |
 |
Striped Toque
Ready for a hike? A walk around town? This toque can accompany
you into the hills or along city streets.
It is worked in the round from the brim to the crown, after
a turned-under hem is worked first.
This striped toque can serve as a template for many different
variations. Add more stripes and vary them in any way that
pleases you. |

Beech
Wood
A neck wrap of pure luxury, Beech Wood recalls the woods in
fall and winter when the brown and golden beech leaves cling
relentlessly to their branches, refusing to drop to the ground.
Worked in the round, using a single 50 g. skein of a handpainted
silk and cashmere blend, this cowl feels delicious against
the skin. |
 |
Cleopatra
This piece of knitted jewellery was created with a handpainted
fingering-weight yarn. The regular repeats of the various
colours result in the striping effect.
Choose a brightly coloured, fine, handpainted yarn in the
colours you prefer and knit your own neck ring. |
 |
Opera
Necklace
An easy way to dress up the plainest garment is to adorn it
with a piece of stunning jewellery. The Opera Necklace is just
that.
Knitted as an I-cord, it is decorated with knots and applied
pearls and can be worn in a variety of ways. |
 |
Café Capelet
The lightest of cover-ups, this rectangular scarf doubles as
a wrap. Worked in a Filet Mesh stitch pattern with double
yarn overs, it transforms your yarn into a wisp-like garment.
A graceful adornment to wear anywhere. |
 |
Felted Bowls
A pair of oval-shaped felted bowls, perfect as a hostess gift
at any time of year.
Quick and easy to make, they are worked in the round from
the base up and then felted in the washing machine to your
desired size. |
 |
Shadow Boxes
Create a fully reversible knitted quilt with these blocks worked
in an unusual version of Garter Stitch.
Combining the knit version with the purl version of Garter
Stitch, you can achieve an interesting effect of “shadow
play”. |
