These long lacy socks will have you dancing around the house as the snow falls softly outside your window. Thick enough to keep your feet cozy but pretty enough to make you feel special during those long winter days lounging around the house. Starting with a picot edge, the sock transitions to a pretty eyelet pattern that’s easy to knit and remember! Combine those elements with a worsted weight yarn and you’ll have these off the needles and on your feet in no time.

This charming winter headband features a two-color brioche motif that is worked with a cozy bulky-weight MC yarn and a sparkly worsted-weight CC yarn. The suggested Hygge yarn makes the project super soft and warm to wear, and the Sparkle yarn is fun and glamorous, making the finished ear warmer a perfect accessory for any festive occasion. The headband begins with a basic long-tail cast-on and is worked flat in two-color brioche in a pretty stitch pattern (though plain two-color brioche ribbing could easily be substituted, if desired). The project concludes with a basic bind-off, then the cast-on and bind-off edges are sandwiched and sewn together to create the stylish twisted seam that can be worn at the front or back of the headband.

Inspired by the hidden currents beneath California’s landscape, the River Textured Pillow is a stunning blend of movement and structure. Its central motif of alternating large and small not-quite-cables mimics the convergence of underground water sources, while angled stitches ripple across a reverse stockinette background. Finished with elegant tassels, this pillow invites both visual intrigue and tactile appeal—an artful nod to nature’s unseen pathways.
The pillow is knit in the round and utilizes a sock-inspired cast on that eliminates most of the seaming. A ridge is knit into each side to mark where the tassels will attach and make placement easier.
