Item# 143

Believe it or not, this little oak leaf is a bit of lace edging. The design features an interesting lace edging construction built around an I-cord stem.

Mix-and-match ensemble of hat, crew socks and fingerless mittens to knit in two colors of DK weight yarn of your choice and size 6/0 seed beads.

Although the colorwork might appear involved, the slip-stitch color knitting is simple because you only need to handle one yarn color at a time. The beads give an added depth of color and look of complexity to an otherwise simple beaded knitting technique.

Beaded lace borrows inspiration from the stunning architecture of the famous Alhambra castle in Spain.

Easy-to-knit two-color socks with spiraling stripes give the simple tube sock a peppermint twist. No grafting needed for the spiral decrease toes and no heel shaping either! You can make several to keep on hand for unplanned gifts, since the adaptable tube shape fits any foot length.

The concept for this cover-up was based on a vintage garment style. However, this design is updated with a modern-day relaxed fit and easy-knitting circular construction.

This clever wrap begins simply as a large piece of circular knitting. The magic is in the unique way of binding off to create a semi-fitted short jacket with rounded hemline. The result is similar to a bolero, except with a more feminine look, a softer shape and short sleeves. The design features a lovely fan-shaped lace and twisted stitch pattern, self-trimmed edging and a touch of beads to complete the understated look of this gracious garment.

Sparkly beads glisten like raindrops, greeting the awakening of Spring's first leaves.
