Notes about materials and skills
- all items work in any weight yarn, but you'll have more usable stitch pattern options in lighter weights
- yardage needed will depend on your weight, item, and size - hats and mitts usually don't need more than 1 skein; cowls may need 2-4 skeins depending on size, etc
- for most items, your yarn's recommended needle size/gauge should be good, but if you're making a cowl that you want to be extra loose/drapey, use a needle a couple sizes larger than the recommended size
- all items are worked flat
- some items and pattern options are more complex than others, so difficulty ranges adventurous beginner to experienced intermediate - you'll be able to look at an option and see if it seems doable, choosing the options that look best to you
- check out techniques tutorials for help with stitches, etc (direct links to the left below the photos)
