Isabelle Hegemann, also known as IBH, had twenty-six grandchildren and great-grandchildren and knit socks for each of them annually. Her step-by-step teaching pattern will have you confidently knitting a rib pattern in the round on double-pointed needles, turning a heel, and finishing the toe with kitchener stitch. Custom fit these sturdy, simple top -down boot socks by changing needle size and adjusting the length of cuff and foot.

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.
