This wall hanging is a fun change-of-pace project that can be knit in an evening. This pattern is knit from the top down and uses simple intarsia colorwork with minimal color changes per row. The fabric is decreased to a midpoint towards the bottom of the piece, providing the perfect foundation for its chic fringed bottom edge! A wooden dowel or large pair of knitting needles is then fastened to the top of the tapestry to provide support for hanging.

Simple, yet colorful, these classic thrummed mittens are worked from the cuff up, on a neutral background, with three alternating shades of colorful thrums. Easy enough for a first-time thrummer, this is a traditional pattern you’ll come back to again and again. Great as a last minute gift, there’s plenty of room for adaptation with this pattern. For a tonal look, work the mittens using shades of the same color for the thrums and background, or go wild with a random assortment of mixed colors! The thrums create a fuzzy lining on the inside which makes these mittens extra cozy.

Whether you want a smaller stylish accessory or a longer scarf to bundle up with in the winter, this expeditious project can be made with just one ball of yarn.

Super snuggly scarves are fun, quick and easy to make with super bulky yarn. Use the seed stitch to create a bumpy fabric that will lay flat and won’t add extra bulk. Wrap a couple times around the neck for a big bold accessory or drape a single loop in front for a traditional scarf drape.
