Knit in One - Marie Greene's newest book!

We are so excited that we got our shipment of Marie Greene's latest book!!

30 Clever One-Skein Patterns

Clear your yarn stash by knitting these ultra-fast, heirloom-quality patterns using only one skein! Marie Greene, knitwear designer extraordinaire and bestselling author, is sharing her best-kept secrets for small scale designs. Maybe it was a limited-edition colorway from an indie dyer, a gorgeously textured yarn you discovered at a market, or a killer deal you couldn’t pass up―every knitter ends up with a hodge podge of special single skeins, but not many knitting patterns online are designed for such little yarn. Marie Greene has the solution. Single-skein patterns featuring lighter-weight yarns are particularly coveted, so of course Marie has a full chapter devoted to them. What’s even better is that single-skein patterns knit up super-fast, making them ideal for last-minute gifts!

Choose from designs like the DK weight Double Moss Texting Mittens or sport weight Fisherman’s Rib Beanie to complete in a weekend! Use a treasured hand-dyed skein for the Simple Ribbed Socks or a Honeycomb Hat to keep you and your family warm and cozy―without getting stuck on the body or sleeves of a larger project. With Marie’s easy-to-follow, fan-favorite instruction and timeless design details, you won’t believe the possibilities that might unravel from only one ball of yarn!

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!

This eliminates the purl stitches looking a little funky (if you know, you know). We decreased by 25% of the stitches about halfway through the cowl to allow the top of the cowl to be a little closer to the neck and the bottom spread over your shoulders if you want to wear it that way! We gave you little check boxes to check off as you complete repeats. **PATTERN** Using Main Color, CO92, place stitch marker and join in the round Round 1: (K2, P2) Repeat parentheses all the way around Repeat Round 1 six more times ⃞ ⃞...
