Hidden Falls Cowl

The Pattern
From our dear friend Crystal, this moebius style cowl is knit in a tube, twisted once and grafted together at the end. With this type of cowl all the floats are hidden on the inside and it is very easy to style. Knit with worsted weight yarn, this is a fun piece to mix and match colors, use up those scraps or mini skeins in your stash.
The Yarn
If you don't have plenty of colorful worsted scraps or mini-skeins in your stash, we've got you covered with Woolstok bundle kits from Blue Sky Fibers. You'll also need one 50g skein of Woolstok for the background color.

Baby Bear

The Pattern
Resembling a cuddly bear cub, the Baby Bear onesie swaddles a precious little one in warmth and softness. Like a gentle hug, it’s the perfect way to welcome a special baby into the world. The pattern is a top-down, seamless raglan, with diagonal front opening. Snap tape is sewn inside the fronts for easy-access and practicality! The only seams are the crotch and underarms.
The Yarn
For this little bear, you'll need 285 to 570 yards of Weepaca from Big Bad Wool (that's 3-6 skeins).

Pescador Hat

The Pattern (Crochet)
This one-skein wonder made with worsted weight yarn can be worked up in a day and it comes in sizes Baby to Adult Large. The knit-like rib makes it fit snuggly around your head for extra coziness and the short rows at the crown take away any excess bulk.
The Yarn
For this hat, we've selected La Bien Aimee's Merino Aran in Rust. You'll only need one skein!

Rift Sweater

The Pattern
Rift cracks open all your assumptions about what a “basic tee” pattern should be. This lightweight, bottom-up knit includes instructions for two necklines, optional bust darts, short or long sleeves, and a custom fit bicep. The design features a slightly cropped body and a split high-low hem in twisted rib, giving it enough detailing to be interesting while maintaining a timeless simplicity.
The Yarn
We're pairing you with Crave Caravan for the Rift Sweater---trust us on this one. You'll need 2 Skeins!

Diagonal Mitts

The Pattern
These mitts are a bit of a magic trick: simple rectangles of garter stitch are worked on the bias to create an intriguing slant-y fabric, then strategically seamed with a gap for the thumb. Voilà: mitts that anyone can make, and everyone will love.
The Yarn
Choose from our large selection of self-striping skeins from Vesper Sock Yarns for this project. You'll only need 1 skein!

Big Love

The Pattern
BIG LOVE is worked seamlessly from the top-down. Start working the collar separately. Then you pick up and CO sts for the back and shape the back neck with short rows. Continue to work the back for the length of the armhole. Pick up the stitches for the front and collar and work both fronts symmetrically for the length of the armhole. Join back and fronts to work the body in stitch pattern down to the bottom ribbing. Pick up the sleeve sts to work the sleeves in rounds in stitch pattern.
The Yarn
We've got you covered with Le Gros Lambswool from Biches & Buches. Grab 7 skeins of the Dark Blue Turquoise and fall in love this autumn!

Go-To Throw

The Pattern
The Go-To Throw is a simple and elegant (yet oh-so-cozy) blanket dreamed up by our very own Gaby Peterson here at yarnology. When you buy 4 or more skeins of Berroco Macro, we'll include the pattern for free!
The Yarn
Our favorite yarn for this throw is Berroco Macro. You'll need 4 skeins, but each will give you 12-13” of length in the finished throw—so, if you want it to be longer, buy additional skeins and keep going.
From This Handmade Life,
