Luxuriously oversized, with a deep, cozy, round yoke, Birch is classic colorwork and comfort knitting at its best. Plus, this pullover is a cool hybrid of bottom-up and top-down knitting: The body is knitted from the bottom up, with stitches cast on provisionally for the sleeves, all the way to the neck, and the sleeves are picked up from the waste yarn and knitted down to the cuffs. This pattern is also available as part of the Plain & Simple collection.

We love Aspen's fitted look, with simple (but striking!) colorwork in its round yoke. The joy in colorwork sweaters is always in choosing whether to go with subtle monochrome, or bold contrast. To add to the interest in the yoke, this pullover is a cool hybrid of bottom-up and top-down knitting: The body is knitted from the bottom up, with stitches cast on provisionally for the sleeves, all the way to the neck, and the sleeves are picked up from the waste yarn and knitted down to the cuffs. This pattern is also available as part of the Plain & Simple collection.

Ash is destined to be a wear-it-all-the-time favorite, with its roomy, swingy body, cozy pockets, and fitted sleeves. Worked from the bottom up, this pullover features deep half brioche hem and cuffs, reverse stockinette stitch in the body and sleeves, and an exposed shoulder seam—the result is knitting that combines meditative and fun elements. This pattern is also available as part of the Plain & Simple collection.

Willow adds the satisfaction of classic gansey knitting to the simple, oversized shape of this pullover. The cuffs and hem are in a broken rib, keeping the sleeves and body from pulling in. An abbreviated version of the gansey motifs is worked into the sleeves at the shoulders. Worked from the bottom up, there's a great mix of meditative knitting and subtle challenge in this soft, ultra-cozy piece. This pattern is also available as part of the Plain & Simple collection.

Larch is the ultimate in comfort wearing and knitting. Worked in the round from the bottom up, it's very nearly dress length, with deep pockets and an ample cowl neck.

Chestnut is such a joy to knit, with its super-simple allover cable motif worked on larger needles—it whips up in no time. A simple knit with no shoulder shaping, this sweater’s cables coincide only with shaping in the sleeves, which are picked up from the armhole and knitted to the cuffs. A simple ribbed trim finishes this sweet cardi. This pattern is also available as part of the Plain & Simple collection.

We love Maple—it's semi-cropped in the body, it features a cushy brioche collar that hugs the neck, and fitted sleeves and a narrow back neck for a close fit where it counts. The best part of the knitting here is in working two stitch patterns with varying row gauges (brioche and stockinette) at the same time, balanced out by strategically-placed short rows in the trim. This pattern is also available as part of the Plain & Simple collection.

Worked in alternating bands of fingering-weight Sparrow and worsted-weight Kestrel, the fabric is stretchy and pliable, held in check by Cella’s cleverly applied ribbing.

A trip to an iconic Fifth Ave, New York menswear shop brought about an idea for a classic rib beanie worked in luxurious, semi-bulky, yet lightweight Osprey yarn. Adding one (or two) stitches in the wide rib all around can change the style back to a man's hat (where you borrowed it from his shelf in the first place).

The history of the dust jacket can be traced back to the mid-19th century as a means to shield books from dust and wear. As the 19th century progressed, publishers began to recognize the potential of the outer book cover as a promotional tool. For two more centuries, the dust jacket would continue to evolve and remains one of the most collectible assets of a book. The Dust Jacket Kit pays homage to its humble beginnings. The jacket body is worked in our sweet Chickadee using the linen stitch. The piece can be customized to fit your most treasured literary masterpiece.
