Free Pattern – Snow Day Slouch
As a child, few things were more magical than a snow day. I still love waking up to a world that's all fluffy and white, under a dusky blue sky. Take a bit of that magical feeling with you whenever you wear this Snow Day Slouch! Knit in a bulky yarn, it's soft and squishy and warm, and works up quickly too. The stitch pattern is much easier to make than it looks, and is mostly knit stitches!

Free Pattern – Streeterville Cowl
Stay warm and cozy without a lot of bulk! The Streeterville cowl works up quickly, and the linen stitch pattern creates a light and drapey fabric. I designed this for the yarn from one of my early attempts at spinning. The stitch pattern really allows the texture of uneven or thick-and-thin yarns to shine, so it's great for novice spinners! It softens color transitions too, so works well with self-striping yarns.
