A knitting pattern by Elizabeth Sullivan
Sometimes when life is stressful you need something easy to knit; to meditate on, to focus on the act of knitting itself as a way of relaxing. This cowl is knit with one simple repeated row that creates a completely reversible scarf with an integrated I-cord edging.
This pattern would work well in many yarn weights. Play around with needle sizes to find one that gives a bit of drape to your fabric, and have fun making the pattern your own!

A knitting pattern by Elizabeth Sullivan
This retro beret pattern is inspired by the mod style of the 1960s. The reverse woven stitch band provides a perfect place to showcase a one-of-a-kind button. A shell-like whorl is created by ridges that spiral inward from the band to the crown of the hat. The ceramic button featured here was hand-made by Laura Sheppard.
