Now for this week’s knitworthy ideas…
Cute cabled hat with a pom-pom.
The Ande beanie is a classic with cozy cable braids and a neat folded brim. Whether you're an adventurous beginner or an expert, this is a satisfying and straightforward project to whip up quickly!
Just 2 skeins of worsted weight yarn is required. The suggested yarn is Lion Brand Wool Ease, worsted weight.
Laitís cowl.
A cozy cowl knit in the round using a fun mosaic knitting technique. This creates a lattice pattern that lets you get creative with colors and yarns.
It's perfect for showing off special gradient or handspun yarns, mixing and matching leftover mini-skeins.
Knitwear for your hair.
Stash bust with this giant fluffy scrunchie! Made holding 2 strands of mohair yarn together, it creates a gorgeous soft accessory for your hair.
Harmony shawl.
This shawl is a top-down triangle with a lovely lace pattern and simple edging.
You can make it any size you want by easily adjusting the pattern repeats. And the lace is only on the right side rows, so you get a little break on the wrong side!
It's a quick, satisfying knit because only needs a 100g of fingering weight yarn.
