Dish Cloths

Yes, it's true, I love dishcloths. I love them for a lot of reasons. I think they are the greatest first project because they are a small, usable project. Even if you mess it up and have holes everywhere, it will still do the dishes! :)


I offer 3 variations in my learn to knit kits, but I highly recommend going on to other dish cloth patterns in order to learn new stitches and feel more comfortable with certain techniques before you graduate to other projects like sweaters and blankets.



Today, I stumbled upon this book and I think it's a great gift idea for a new knitter (or a gift for yourself...you deserve it!!) It seems like when a beginning knitter has a solid foundation of understanding stitches before they go on to larger tasks, they have more success! And dishcloths make really nice gifts!!

Knitpicks has some wonderful cottons too...so grab a few skeins and the book and get to knitting!

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!):  Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here:  Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Copilot Remix

Years ago I found the Copilot Cowl by Dominique Trad on Ravelry  and it had two of my ABSOLUTE favorite things...garter stitch and yarn overs! I cast one on for a trip I was taking and knit it while I was traveling. It was the perfect project to keep my attention, but I didn't need to take the pattern out constantly. After knitting one, I noticed that the length of it was just too long for my liking, I wanted it to be a simple, single-wrap cowl. I reworked it a little bit and it is my go-to when I have a skein of fingering weight yarn (especially if it is a singly-ply!!) Copilot Remix Materials:     1 skein 100g/440 fingering weight yarn (if your skein is a little more or a little less, no problem, I put in weights so you can use up all your yarn and not play yarn chicken!)                      US6/4mm 24" circular knitting needles                      Stitch...
