This is a good pattern on which to try the “Magic Loop” technique, if you haven’t already. Maureen has provided us with an unusual and attractive cast on method at the toe, and her signature ribbed sole for great fit and comfort. The garter stitch short row heel is as easy and as cushy as they come.

Is it a hat or is it a bag? This easy two-color pattern is knit in a tube, with no shaping. The Turkish pattern called “Poppy” is symmetrical, which makes following the chart a breeze. Knit it in two or more colors and finish it off with tassels and braids. A fun project for worsted weight yarns.

The prototype of this hat was “borrowed” by our staff members for ski outings to various mountains during the snowy winter of 2007-08.
This warm and flattering hat has a cabled band that is knit sideways and an attractive double decrease at the crown.
The cabled band can be knit alone to wear as an earwarmer.
