Not So Fussy Mens Vest by Kate Atherley

A clean and classic v-necked vest for men, with a cable detail to add a little style and interest without too much fuss. A slightly higher-than usual v makes it suitable for wearing with a collared shirt, or a t-shirt. Edgings are worked along with the body, so there is minimal finishing.

Beau Felted Wrap by Jill Wright

I designed this beautiful wrap as a sister to the crocheted “Belle Felted Wrap”. I wanted to see whether a knitted lace pattern would look and feel just as beautiful and fluid once felted. I think you‟ll agree it surely does! The incredible marriage of Yak and Merino fibers work harmoniously producing a luxurious yet highly useable and durable wrap, which retains incredible drape even after felting. Pay careful attention whilst felting to ensure the best results.

A rounded loop and cable panel runs down both the back of the leg and the front – the front panel stretching all the way from the top edge to the toe shaping.

Tashi Vest by Shannon Okey

"Tashi‟ means "auspicious‟ in Tibetan – "tashi delek‟ is a way to greet someone in Lhasa dialect. Since yaks are native to Tibet, why not a Tibetan name? It was either that or momo (my favorite kind of Tibetan dumpling)! This simple tunic-length tank uses “Bijou Bliss”, a 50/50 Yak and Cormo wool blend. Worked from the bottom up, the first 2/3 of this piece is incredibly meditative to knit, and the plain stockinette stitch allows the texture of the yarn to shine through. At the armscye, simple cables are worked back and forth for an interesting bust area in the front, and plain textured stripes at the back. For the creative knitter, Tashi can serve as a template: want lace in the bust area? More cables? Go for it! This multi-season piece will become a staple in your wardrobe.

It can be worn casual, or paired with slacks for work, or worn with a wide belt and skirt for a night out. So jump in and create something that will give you lots of wear for years to come!

Kumasi Shawl by Laura Patterson

Because of the color of this yarn, when searching for a pattern name I was irresistibly drawn toward chocolate, and regions that grow it. Kumasi is a city in Ghana, in western Africa’s rain forest region. Cocoa is one of the city’s largest exports. Shawl is knit from a provisional cast on in the center toward the outer edge. Stitches are then picked up from the center, and worked in the opposite direction, resulting in a shawl whose sides mirror each other.

Daisy D Camisole by Jill Wright

This cute cami is designed with LOTS of negative ease so that it hugs the figure, but because the main part of the design is 1 x 1 Rib it won’t feel tight and restrictive. No shaping required here, yet the resulting garment definitely looks fitted due to clever use of the different stitches. For more ample busted figures the adjustment is simply to add rows to the eyelet section at the bust and ease those extra rows into the side seam as you stitch the back and front together. The pattern still looks the same, but your bases are covered!

Perfecta Skirt/Capelet by Jill Wright

This cute piece was originally designed as a flared skirt, but then I discovered it looked really great as a capelet - hence the name “Pefecta” as it goes 2 ways. The ribbed top is very stretchy so the added twisted cord helps to keep it in place. The lacy design flows from paired eyelets to leaves which increase in size as your work progresses, ending with paired eyelets around the hem.
