Turning Sideways – 239

Designed by Maureen Clark

A change of perspective or orientation can often simplify a puzzle that seems complex. This design turns a cardigan on its side to make it possible to work the graceful two color stranded design on just the front of the sweater, all without a steek! This simple solution creates a wearable work of art.

Triangles – 235

Designed by Cap Sease

Twisted stitches create a nice texture in this sweater. The interplay of ribbed triangles with stockinette makes an interesting and lively yoke that looks difficult, but is actually easy to knit.

Thermal Cap – 241

Designed by Kate Salomon

This hat is as light as a feather and almost as warm as down. When temperatures drop inviting you to reach for additional layers, this slouchy cap will be the perfect choice. The garter ridges create a thermal feel that will keep you warm and cozy. We’ve designed it with a classic simple texture that has unisex appeal. We hope that you’ll make two and share the warmth!

Long Trail – 240

Designed by Larisa Demos

There may be no better time to hike the Long Trail up the length of Vermont than in the fall when the hillsides blaze with stunning color.  The slipped stitch patterning of this cozy cowl reflects the undulating hills and valleys that can be seen along the trail.  This unisex accessory is the perfect portable size to keep you warm as needed on any adventure.
