Adventures in knitting, sewing and stuff like that...

Skill level: easy

Aduki hat

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

iPhone cosy

An iPhone cover in 4 ply merino, knitted in the round, in a textured stitch.

Ruffle lace scarf

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.

Stash-buster cushion

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.
