This Mathilde scarf is knitted using a mohair/silk blend. The pattern uses a combination of just knit and purl stitches which creates an eye catching diagonal stripe.
As there are only simple stitches it is ideal for a beginner. The addition of a button is optional.
Perfect for wearing under coats and jackets, this accessory looks a lot more complicated than it really is.
The simple stitch pattern is great for showing of self-patterning yarn.

Mathilde is a delicate, light but warm scarf, designed slip nicely under a smart coat for an extra layer of warmth, you could add more buttons and buttonholes so it fastens two ways. Or, you could use a thicker yarn for a larger scarf and warmer accessory. It’s up to you!
As always, when I’m knitting for the knitworthy members of my family or dear friends, I consider how they’re going to wear it, wash it, the colours they love and what styles they wear.

This Yuma Accessory set consists of a headband/earwarmer, a short cowl and boot toppers. It uses the diagonal basket weave stitch which has a really interesting texture that you will love.
It is ideal for beginners or as a project for those autumn evenings in front of the tv.
If you are starting to think about your holiday gift knitting then this project is perfect. As it is made using super chunky yarn it knits up very quickly.
The headband is worked flat and seamed, as are the boot cuffs and cowl. The texture pattern of the diagonal basketweave makes for a more interesting knit and a warm accessory set. You could adjust the length of the headband to suit a larger or smaller head, also the cowl could be made long enough for a double loop around the neck but will take more yarn.

These Oak Street legwarmers were first published in issue 49 of Knit Now magazine. The diagonal basket weave pattern is unusual and very effective, but you will soon pick up the repeating pattern. It is achieved by knitting and purling through back loops.
It is a very dense stitch, so try to keep your tension loose. Keep pulling your completed work into place as you go to give the stitches extra definition. Once you are in the rhythm this is the ideal project for working on whilst you are watching the TV.
They are designed to be worn long and loose with plenty of positive ease.
The pair takes 400-500g of chunky weight yarn.
