This fun rectangular shawl blends marled seed stitch with double-knit zigzags to create an eye-catching, reversible wrap. The colorwork is inspired by Anna Maltz’s “marlisle” technique, but uses double knitting instead of stranded colorwork so that there is no wrong side. The seed stitch background is worked with both colors of yarn held together, and then each color is used separately to create the double-knit zigzag motif. The suggested yarns pair an ombré pink with an ombré gray to create an interesting gradient effect. As a finishing touch, a tassel is added to each corner of the shawl. The dimensions of the wrap can easily be modified to create a narrower scarf or a wider blanket, as desired.

This pillow design takes inspiration from the medallion at the center of a traditional rug. The front is crafted in the round using a disappearing loop cast on and features increasing rounds of stranded knitting. The first seven repeats of the pattern are identical, while the eighth and final repeat includes slight modifications to camouflage the round jog, starting with an additional stitch added in Round 7. The back comprises two overlapping semicircles, worked from garter tabs and secured with buttons. Upon completion, the front and back are placed together and finished with an I-cord 3-needle bind-off, resulting in a beautifully cohesive and elegant pillow.
