We are smitten with this dress! Can we take a minute and marvel at the fact that we’re knitting a dress! That is so cool. This piece is a real statement maker, and it is so simple! We did an exposed seam on the body, because we love that detail - you can choose to seam it on the wrong side of the piece if you want a cleaner look.

This is a great first sweater. It’s literally four rectangles—back, front, two sleeves. If you can cast-on, knit, and bind off, you’ve got it. It’s a terrific basic that you can really have fun with. You might knit each rectangle in a different color for a cool color block technique or leave the arms short and style it with a classic, white, button down— endless possibilities, so have fun with it.

If you can cast on, knit, and bind off, then you can knit this comfy, chunky cardigan. It's worked as a long rectangle slit halfway down the middle to make two fronts. You won’t believe how easy it is to knit and wear. In fact, we should’ve called it The World’s Most Easiest Cardigan To Knit - but that would have been too long a title!

This cropped sweater is a variation of our Rectangle #2 / Basic Pullover , just shortened up and given a split hem. We couldn’t resist cropping the sweater to create the perfect layering piece and a really quick knit. We would try color blocking this piece in bold contrasting colors—one sleeve red, the other yellow, etc.—and really having fun with it.

We love this sweater. It's more fitted than our Rectangle #2 / Basic Pullover and the collar really adds a lot of personality. You might customize this piece by knitting it oversize instead of fitted (going up a few sizes) and adding some length, so you end up with a yummy tunic to wear over leggings.

This little vest is on-trend at the moment and is the perfect layering piece for fall and winter. This is essentially a pullover with no sleeves. The rib warmer knits up quickly and you get to skip the most laborious part of the sweater—the sleeves! You might try this piece in a two-color stripe without working the high neck—it would be a totally different look.
