I love easy knitting. Stockinette in the round, flat garter stitch - it’s great for TV watching and stitch night, and also a great chance to play with all of those handdyed skeins that always look so tempting at the yarn shop. This squishy scarf, with a lay-flat edge from Ysolda Teague’s Mae Scarf, is a little fiddly to set up at first, but quickly transitions into literal miles of stockinette in the round. Because you’re knitting a tube, you won’t even have to weave in most of the ends.

You know those super nice skeins of self-striping fingering weight yarn? The ones that are really only good for socks, but you already have So. Many. Socks? Here’s another option for you.

Twist Squared is a fun and easy sock pattern that makes the best of highly variegated yarns without being swallowed by a mess of colors.
