Welcome to the Free Patterns page!
Just in time for colder weather, here is my latest pattern published by Red Heart, the Reversible Cable Wrap. This design was originally sketched out several years ago. Last year I dug out the sketch and figured out how to make it happen! It took a lot of trial and error, because I really wanted it to be knit from end to end, not from the triangle up or down. I'm not sure why this was so important, but it was and it made the cable work right as it runs along the long edge. There was math involved, people!
I hope you enjoy knitting it. As you can see, it makes quite an impact!
(This pattern is called the Little Red Riding Hood Shawl on Allfreeknitting.com, where they are kind enough to feature it and say very nice things about it!)

Designed for the Red Scarf Project, but it would also make a great first bobble project or a lovely gift.
Mostly knit and purl combinations with a mini bobble for added texture and excitement, this pattern is easy and fun to knit.
Includes a link to free video tutorials for making the bobbles and knitting and purling through the back loop.

Brickworks Scarf
Available as a free PDF download.
.Something about the way this scarf knit up, especially with this fun red yarn, made me think of those ubiquitous molded plastic building blocks, and since it is being sent to the Red Scarf Project for college kids from foster homes, I think it’s an appropriate transition piece as these young adults enter a new stage of their lives.
It’s a simple pattern with just enough going on to fight off boredom. Knit one for the Red Scarf Project, then knit one for someone special in your life who also needs a hug from home.
Inspired by a stitch pattern from Barbara Walker.
