It's a Stitch Up

A slouchy, garter stitch hat in an easy, two-colour stripe and slip-stitch pattern. Suitable for novice knitters familiar with knit and purl.

Designed with beginners in mind, this simple, fun scarf is worked in a variety of easy, reversible stitches in either DK, aran or chunky weight yarn.

Wrap up warm in this soft, girly scarf in medium-weight mohair. The scarf is knitted lengthways in purl ridges, with ruffles are created using simple yarn-over increases.

A lacy mohair shrug with elbow-length sleeves and deep ribbing. The simple ripple pattern makes the most of colour-change yarn. Suitable for novice knitters who want to tackle new skills, this is a great introduction to knitting lace and working in the round.

This is a great way to use up aran-weight leftovers from other projects. Each coloured row used no more than 5g of yarn. The front of the cushion cover is knitted in an slip-stitch pattern which is easy and fun. Instructions are given for a fabric back with zip fastening.
