Cedar Leaf Shawlette by Alana Dakos

A beautiful, crescent shaped, little shawl that drapes beautifully around your shoulders and looks absolutely stunning wrapped around your neck as a scarf. The curved shape of the shawl is created through the use of short rows. The leafy border is knit on once the body of the shawl is completed.

Yarns By Design suggests knitting this shawlette with Nashua's Creative Focus Linen. The lustrous blend of cotton and linen is an amazing deal with 220 yards per skein! You'll enjoy working with it and wearing the finished project. This blend shows off stitch patterns beautifully. YBD has an array of bright colors to choose from.

Hitchiker by Martina Behm

Garter stitch. It‘s simple, its warm and squishy, stretchy and reversible and it makes any variegated, hand-dyed sockyarn really shine. So here‘s Hitchhiker: It is a narrow, slightly asymmetrically shaped triangular shawlette that can be wrapped around the neck several times. The ends are long enough to tie it with a knot. One of the short sides of the triangle features a saw-tooth border that evolves naturally during the knitting and gives the shawl its unusual shape. Because the knitting starts at one end, you can stop anytime, bind off and end up with a useful neckerchief, shawlette or shawl. A perfect project to relax in between more complicated ones, also very suitable for beginners and young knitters.

Yarns By Design has the perfect fiber for you to knit this project with, Zitron Unisono. This new fiber to the YBD boutique infuses extrafine merino with aloe and jojoba oil. Your hands will be super happy as you are knitting, and your skin will thank you as you wear the finished project.

Below are a few of our favorite colors which are available at the YBD boutique.

Habu Textiles Cotton Gima Print

Linen Top by Kat Coyle

This free pattern is a good summer knitting project (no heavy wool here) and a good summer top to wear. The work is done from side to side and stretches open quite a bit after blocking.

The suggested fiber to knit this airy summer top with is Cotton Gima Print by Habu Textiles. This is a "printed" cotton Gima. Gima means "fake linen" in Japanese. It feels like linen, and softens up greatly as soon as you handle or wash it. Only 3-4 balls of this yarn will make a whole garment. Yarns By Design has a selection of color options to choose from, see below of a few of our favorites.

Habu Textiles Cotton Gima

Gisela by Julie Weisenberger

Cocoknits designed this garment especially for you. Because if you are a woman of a certain age and your upper arms are not what you’d like them to be (and you’re too busy knitting to go the gym) this cardigan allows you to wear sleeveless tanks while diverting attention from your upper arms. And for all body types, this cardigan is a perfect amount of sexy.

Our sample of Gisela is knit with Cotton Gima by Habu Textiles. Gima means to "fake linen" in Japanese. It feels like linen, but does soften up greatly as soon as you handle or wash it. Only 3-4 balls of this yarn will make a whole garment. Good warp yarn also.

At the Yarns By Design boutique we have a large selection of colors to choose from. Here is a tasting of what you will see.
