Elisia Bag Pattern

I designed these mitts for a Jane Austen brunch, hence the name "Jane Austen Mitts." They are perfect for a bride, a chilly yet elegant typist--or for any knitter who enjoys a small, amusing project.

Yarn weight determines the size:

 For a small, choose a sport weight (6 stitches per inch).

 For a medium, use DK (5.5 stitches per inch).

 For a large, go with worsted (5 stitches per inch).

 
Beads are optional but encouraged!

Directions are provided for knitting back and forth with seaming, along with notes on how to convert to knitting in the round. Either method works beautifully!

Cicada Symphony

To make this cowl, you'll need about 150 yards each of three colors of worsted-weight yarn, in light, medium, and dark. You might want to make the medium color either a variegated or self-striping yarn to add some interest. Yarns such as Malabrigo Rios, Berroco Ultra Alpaca, or Cascade 220 are all good choices. Noro yarns or Berroco Sesame or something similar would make a terrific self-striping addition! I encourage you to buy from your local yarn shop if you possibly can, to see yarns in person and to support local!
  
The cowl measures about 40" in circumference at the bottom and about 20" or 23" at the neck. (You'll have your choice of how much to decrease at the neck. Some people like to be warm, others don't like to feel tight around their necks.) It's about 13"-15" high. Changes in sizing will be explained as part of the pattern.
  
You'll want a longer needle (about 32") for the bottom of the cowl in a larger and a smaller size, and you'll want a short needle (16" or 24") for the top. If you want your cowl to be a bit bigger, use a U.S. 6 (4mm) and 8 (5mm) needle. If you want it to be a bit smaller, use a 5 (3.75mm) and 7 (4.5mm). Gauge and sizing are not essential.

Andi's Beach Adventure

I designed this stocking for my friend Alice, who's a big fan of penguins. When I noticed that the word "ice" was in her name, the title of the stocking pattern became instant: "Al Ice." So now you have the inside scoop on how the pattern got its name!
  
You may buy this pattern separately or as part of my e-book, "Cutest Christmas Stockings." If you buy the book, any future cute stockings will automatically become part of it.
  
And as for the Penguin: If you live in or near Pittsburgh, you know what to do.

Al Ice Christmas Stocking

Clean and uncomplicated, this easy cowl combines linen stitch with garter. If you've never done linen stitch before, you'll love it! It's almost exactly like knit 1, purl 1but without actually having to form the purl stitch. 

The garter adds interest and gives a bit of a break. 

This cowl also provides a beautiful way to use a few skeins of special yarn. Mixing a variegated with a tonal would work well. Anything soft and warm will do the trick!

The pattern provides directions for yarn that knits at 5, 4, and 3.5 stitches per inch. 



Brevity Cowl

Beautiful waves of stripes make this cowl a pleasure to knit and a dream to wear. It is designed with an uncomplicated lace pattern, separated into logical sections by stitch markers for ease of keeping track and memorizing the pattern.
“Jogless jog” directions are given so that the transition between colors remains relatively straight instead of jumping when knitting in the round.
Change stripes as often as you like—and bust that stash!

Did you know that half of all resolutions are broken as soon as the end of January? We here at Really Clear have experienced this personally and are on a mission to solve the problem! 

**What if we all had a bit of motivation to keep the resolutions--to form them into solid habits?** 

Enter the Resolution Keeper shawl. 

Here's how it works: Before New Year's, you make your resolutions (for your own sanity, no more than three, please). Then you buy a background yarn, which is your built-in resolution to "knit." And you buy three other colors that go with it. Each color represents one of your resolutions. Our sample is made from Noro Sonata, but any yarn you love will work! 

Each day, when you do one of the resolutions, you can knit that section. (As the sections get longer, just knit a row or two so you don't get overloaded.) Don't work on more than one section a day. The idea is to work at a small, steady pace so that you can build the habits and keep the resolutions. 

I'm releasing the supply list right now. I'll release the instructions in the morning of January 1. Please join us at Fans of Really Clear on Ravelry, or on Facebook at Really Clear Designs: Show Your Work! to share what your resolutions are, and to show the progress of your shawl!

Josué’s Hat combines simplicity with style. Using an easy slipped-stitch pattern alternated with rounds of knitting, this hat is a journey into color and creativity.   

Josué’s Hat makes a quick gift. Use at least 3 colors to say goodbye to the stash and hello to a new accessory. 

The knitting is so easy that you can watch a good movie as you knit, but so captivating that you won’t be able to put it down. (And then it’ll be done!)   

Directions give you the choice of either a classic beanie or a laid-back slouch hat to accommodate everyone’s taste.   

Use your choice of DK, worsted, or Aran-weight yarn. 

Sized for toddler through adult large.

Are you ready to embark on a knitting journey of fun and sparkle? This basic stranded hat will provide a few hours of amusement, followed by many years of warmth and comfort. 

You'll need about 200 yards of a main color, and about 25-50 yards each of two contrasting colors. I used Malabrigo Rios in Vaa (background), Ravelry Red, and Ivory. But choose colors you love!

You'll also need between 112 and 210 size 5 seed beads, depending on the size you make. 





Team Meow is an adorable pillow for anyone who likes cats (or teams with cat mascots!). 

The finished pillow as shown is roughly 16" square, but if you make it using smaller or larger yarn, you can change the size. 

You'll need a background color and a motif (paw) color. 

You'll need to know how to do intarsia. If you never have, you might want to start with our [Intarsia 101: Mug Mats](/patterns/library/intarsia-101-mug-mats) pattern. 



Let’s combine simplicity and charm in the new Garden Pathway shawl. Think rows of flowers, framed by brick pathways. With the Noro yarn I chose, the shawl is particularly colorful and inviting. 

The shawl is a boomerang shape. If you’ve knit this shape before, you know that it typically wants to curl at the top edge. That will never do! I’ve added a top band, shaped with easy short rows, to manage the curl, plus create a more flattering shape around your neck. 

You can make the shawl smaller, to be more like a scarf, or you can keep going, for a big, yummy shawl! 

I can’t wait to see your interpretations of this pattern! Tag me on social media @reallyclear, and be sure to post in my Ravelry group, Fans of Really Clear, or on my Really Clear DesignsShow Your Work! group on Facebook.


Helix 101 is the perfect pattern to unleash your creativity! Whether you're a beginner or a more experienced knitter, this pattern will be a go-to pattern for gifts--or for stash busting.

The helix technique is a way to take advantage of the natural spiral of knitting a hat. You'll work your yarn in sections, and the pattern explains exactly what to do. You'll also have extra tips to make the process easy. 

Helix 101 is a gateway to your imagination. It allows you to combine lots of colors to make stripes that never jog or look messy. Start with four colors for your first hat, but once you understand what you're doing, the possibilities are endless! 

This hat uses any weight of yarn, and is sized from baby through large adult. 




One should always have a spare knitting project along on vacation, in case the current project hits a roadblock. Because we've hit a supply snag with [Great Lakes Road Trip](/patterns/library/great-lakes-road-trip), I have at the ready a second mystery project. 

It's a little knitting murder-mystery cowl. It has been solved, but you can still make the cowl, of course! 

Like every other knitting mystery, this cowl will be like solving a knitting puzzle-- each clue brings you closer to the finished product, and the excitement builds with every stitch.

It can be made of your choice of size--either 26" or 52". Join me as we do a little walk in a spooky yarn shop.

What yarn is needed? You'll need three colors of yarn: dark, light, and pop. Your dark and light may be either the same color two different colors. The pop should be something that contrasts especially with the dark. This is a great opportunity to play with color! About 100 yards of each will do for the smaller cowl, and 200 of each for the longer cowl. 

Of course, for this project, you might want black, gray, and ... bled.

It's winter, and your desk is next to a window. Of course it's beautiful to look out and see the snow-- but your legs are cold. 

You need a pair of cozy, comfy legwarmers. 

These legwarmers are extra special in that they have a bit of flare at the bottom, to give them a bit of a kick. (You can make them straight instead by omitting increases.) They're an enjoyable knit that goes quickly. 

You can use any yarn that's DK, worsted, or Aran. They're sized to fit you as an individual.

The Certainly cowl is potato-chip knitting--you need to make more than one! It's the perfect project for using up scraps, working while watching TV--and yet it holds interest. 



Can you make this hat quickly? Can you use lots of scraps and play with color? Can even a beginner do it? The answer to everything is, "Certainly!"

This hat is so fun that one of my testers ended up making 17 of them, to give them to the entire family for Christmas! She said she was never bored, because she kept wanting to play with color combinations.

The hat works up so quickly, that before you know it, it's done!

Go to your local yarn shop, and look for lots of colors that work together. Then mix and match to make a bunch. 


Are you crafty? Do you prefer living underground? Do you have a penchant for guarding jewels?  
 
If so, I have the perfect knitting project to suit your personality! The Happy Gnome Hat. 

This isn't just your, run-of-the-mill, average gnome hat. The gnomes have three-dimensional beards and noses. Their eyes are made from black beads that peek out from beneath their hats. The snow beneath them has clear beads to make it sparkle, as snow will do.

Beanie or stocking cap directions are included. Feel free to be creative with colors! 


Come join me for another Andi Adventure story! 

You may have already made the [Magic Crystal Hat][1] or the [Andi's Beach Adventure][2] cowl. 

Now, Andi is off on a Halloween Adventure, and you'll be making a poncho, as you knit motifs and patterns based on the story. Be careful! There may be witches and ghosts!

Not a Halloween person? No worries! Make the poncho in whatever colors you love. Only you will know what all the motifs mean. 

The poncho is pointed in the front, and curves around to elbow length on the back and sides. It's worked in the round in worsted-weight yarn. 

You'll need worsted-weight yarn. I used Malabrigo Rios for my model, but any yarn in that weight that's relatively drapey will work. Please use this pattern to support your local yarn shop!! Tell them that I'm making you buy your yarn there! 

I can't wait for you to join in the adventure!
