Relaxing Mittens

Relaxing Socks

Toe-up socks are so much fun to make— you can try them on while you crochet! The toe, heel and cuff are worked in single crochet and the foot and leg are worked in a two-color vertical stripe pattern that is easy to remember and keeps things interesting, even for the second sock!

Juniper Hooded Scarf

If you’ve never crocheted cables before, this is a perfect first crochet cable pattern. The scarf portion is made straight and long, then the center portion is sewn up to make a hood. If you prefer your scarves sans hood, simply skip this step and you’ll have a nice long accessory to wear all season.
