Rainy days call for blanket forts and card games and a playful pullover with a cozy shawl collar. Inspired by the lovable toy, Sock Monkey uses two strands of Loft held together for a marled effect and a plump fabric. If you don’t wish to nod to the classic nursery companion, substitute colors and you’ve got a simply timeless sportswear garment. The body and sleeves are worked in the round to the armholes; the yoke is completed flat to the shoulders and seamed to the set-in sleeves. The ribbing is worked with a smaller needle and a single strand of yarn.

A tactile melange of worsted-spun Arbor and woolen-spun Loft, the Tallera scarf is delightfully springy and tremendously touchable. Wide bands of compressible garter stitch are punctuated by angular accents of half Fisherman’s Rib — all constructed through simple short rows. Whether wrapped double around the neck for a tucked-in cowl look or worn long as a scarf, Loft ’s natural airiness keeps the weight light and prevents any sense of feeling overwhelmed by Tallera’s voluminous fabric.

This whimsical pair of earmuffs was inspired by the large, aviator style headphones I see in the streets every day. For New Yorkers, these objects represent a type of insulation from your surroundings – a barrier to quiet the city noise. Metropolitan is a super-quick project and requires just one skein of super-bulky or chunky weight yarn. A great gift, they keep you warm, with or without headphones underneath!

“Traditional ticking fabric was used for mattresses and for upholstering furniture. The densely woven striped fabric contained feathers or straw and prevented painful pokes. The clean lines and simple palettes have kept this a decorator’s favorite. The versatile look is practical and pleasing, with a reassuring homey feel. While the Ticking Cowl imitates these traditional fabrics, the light, airy hand of Loft knit at a loose gauge has nothing in common with upholstery.

“This shawl is easy to knit with a simple lace pattern. I called the shawl “Frida”, because the geometrical patterns and the loop fringes give a folk atmosphere, and using the deep red color of Homemade Jam remind me of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. The shawl – knitted with fingering weight Loft – is very lightweight and compact; you can wear it casually and it is easy to carry around.” − Hiroko Fukatsu Designer: Hiroko Fukatsu Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Get ready for winter fun with bright, warm mittens and a matching cap. The Pinwheel set can be customized to any taste—work it in a binary palette or go exuberant with a paintbox of hues; add cords and pompoms to snug the cuffs and decorate the hat or keep them simply unadorned. The mittens are given in a single child’s size; the hat pattern is written in small and large children’s sizes.

Lace butterflies skirt this shawl and sweep up the center in a merry flock. The knitting begins with a large cast-on for the full length of the trailing edge. A line of eyelets creates an effect reminiscent of crochet.

This is piquant lace knitting, with no “resting rows” between lace maneuvers in many of the charts. Directions are given for four sizes; the two smallest can be worked from a single skein of Plains.
