Fiddleback Cowl and Hat
Fiddleback wood, or Flame Maple, is a beautiful wood grain often used to make fiddles and guitars. When I came across this particular cable pattern it reminded me of the lovely undulating wood grain of the back of a fiddle. This wide cowl starts with a short section of rib which flows right into the cabled pattern. While not technically reversible, the wrong side of the fabric is attractive in its own way. Worked in a fingering weight yarn, the cowl has a nice drape and would be a warm and fashionable way to keep the winter chill away, while the matching hat is worked in a watchcap style and will do nicely keeping your ears warm.
Both charts and written directions are included.

Flare and Square
This stylish and unusual scarf is easier to knit than it looks! The ‘flare’ is created by a simple and easy to memorize lace pattern that leads into ribbing for the body of the scarf. Simple short rows are used to create a ‘square’ neckline at the top, and the ‘flare’ is then repeated in reverse at the end.
The square shape at the neck ensures the scarf will stay put over or under a coat.
Don’t let winter winds leave you chilled— beat those winter winds ‘Flare and Square’!
Two sizes included: 26” long from neck and 32” long from neck.
Chart and written directions included.

Turritella Socks
This design was inspired by the tightly coiled cone shaped shells of the Turritella genus of sea snails. The spiral lace pattern on these socks, which looks much more complicated than it is, has a very tight bias which twists down the leg.
Both charts and written directions are included.
May 2015 Blue Moon Fiber Arts Rockin’ Sock Club pattern.
These socks are knit from the cuff down.
$5.00
Graphite Socks
I fell in love with this slipped stitch pattern after using it for a swatch in level 3 of the Master Hand Knitter program, and I thought it would be perfect on a pair of socks.
The honeycomb lattice look (and the colors) reminds me of the chemical structure of the layers of graphite. Since it is a slipped stitch pattern, you work with only one color per row – so it looks much more complicated than it actually is!
These socks are knit from the toe up with a round toe and an afterthought heel.
$5.00
May Day Flower Socks
Cuff down socks, started with a dainty picot cast on. Lace on cuff, with a single lace motif on instep. Short Row heels and toes.

$5.00
Leaf & Trellis Socks
The focal point of these socks is the intricate leaf lace featured down the center front and back of the socks. The leaves are framed nicely by a ‘trellis’ of small cables on either side. These socks are knit from the cuff down, and are constructed with a standard flap and gusset heel and a wedge toe.
Both charts and written lace/cable directions are included.
$5.00
Moissanite Shawl
Silicon Carbide, or Moissanite, is a rare natural mineral. It is almost as hard as diamonds, and has a fiery brilliance—so it is sometimes used as a diamond gemstone substitute. I found it a fitting name for this shawl made with several different diamond motifs.
The shawl is knit from the top down with a center spine diamond panel and gradually changing diamond lace on the sides. It is designed as more than a triangle to sit snug upon the shoulders.
Size is customizable – I designed the lace patterns so that any number of repeats of the individual motifs can be knit.
Both charts AND written lace directions are included.
At least 1000 yards of fingering weight yarn will be needed. More will be needed if you add more repeats to any of the lace sections.
Sizes: Multiple (Sample shown is 30″ tall and 52″ wide)
Yarn: Fingering weight yarn, at least 1000 yards.
Needles: US 6 (4.0mm)

Playbook Sweater Vest
This vest was originally designed as my TKGA Master Knitter Level 2 vest. I have expanded that pattern and added more sizes. I knitted the vest for my son, who loves to watch football, hence the more masculine ‘playbook’ name rather than the more traditional ‘hugs and kisses’ that the cables evoke. The pattern will work just as well for girls as well as boys, however!
Knit flat in pieces from the bottom up, the neckline and armhole ribbing are knit afterwards, with the sides seamed.
Sizes: Child Small/6, (Medium/10, Large/14)
Yarn: Knit Picks Merino Style 5, (5, 6) skeins. Or similar DK weight yarn.
Needles: US 5 and US6
$5.00
Winding Roads Aran Hat
This hat was originally designed and knit as my TKGA Master Knitter level 3 hat project. The brim is knit side-to-side, with stitches picked up to then knit the body in the round. Cables move up the hat to intertwine at the crown. The hat is designed to fit in a slouchy beret style.
To fit 21″ head circumference.
Yarn: About 500 yards worsted weight wool yarn.
Needles: US 6

Needles: US 6
$3.00
Not So Beginner’s Socks
Knitted my Beginner’s Socks and ready to move on to fingering weight yarn and knit some ‘real’ socks? Then this pattern is for you! I’ll still walk you through each step, just in case, but I’m sure you’re ready to knit some socks you can actually wear in shoes!

Needles: US 2

Autumn Wheat Socks
These socks were inspired by the yarn – FibroFibers Archie in the colorway Maize (now discontinued). (Shown below – variegated version.) When I found this stitch pattern I knew it would be the perfect complement to the yarn!
Cuff down socks with a textured pattern knit using increases, decreases, and cluster stitches. Great pattern for variegated yarns that tend to pool!
Both charts and written directions are included.
