Fake-Out Thrummed Legwarmers

Wyntrath is a Fair-Isle hat that hints at a touch of ancient magic. Worked in two shades of DK-weight yarn, its beautiful colorwork creates a timeless Fair-Isle design. The rhythmic pattern is engaging yet deceptively simple to knit. Whether you choose high-contrast colors for a bold statement or subtle shades for quiet elegance, this hat is sure to become a winter favorite.

The pattern uses a sport or DK-weight yarn in two colors, and sizes U.S. 4 (3.25mm) and 6 (4.00mm), or sizes to obtain 5.5 stitches per inch.

Introducing the Shadowed Cowl – a pattern that transforms two colors into a dueling stripes.

Crafted with simple knits and purls, this cowl reveals bold, horizontal stripes when viewed straight on—but tilt it slightly, and you can see vertical stripes. (Want checks instead? The pattern shows you how!)

This graphic design offers a modern appeal. It’s perfect for newer knitters looking to elevate their skills with a fun, satisfying project, or experienced knitters who want an easy project for TV knitting.

The Shadowed Cowl is as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear.

SIZE
The cowl measures approximately 32" around and 6" high, but can easily be adjusted to be larger or smaller. (Remember to take into account yarn amounts if you make it bigger.)

YARN
You’ll need one light and one dark skein of worsted-weight yarn, about 200 yards of each. We used Malabrigo Rios for the model in Coco and Ankara Green. (This is the perfect project for sports fans using team colors!)

SUGGESTED NEEDLES
U.S. 5 (3.75mm) and 7 (44.5mm) 24" or 32" circular needles. Gauge isn’t crucial.
NOTIONS
Stitch markers, tapestry needle. 

 This listing is for the PDF pattern only, not the knitted garment.

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!

 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!

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.

Introducing: Fake-Out Thrummed Mittens! Say goodbye to the thrumming hassle and hello to the ultimate in coziness. These mittens feature a genius design: Instead of traditional thrums, they showcase a luxurious thick yarn, such as the fabulous Malabrigo Rasta. You simply strand, rather than having to add separate thrums. The result is a toasty mitten that feels smooth on the inside, and is instantly warm when you put it on. 

You'll find these mittens to be a knitter's game-changer, providing extra warmth without the knitting fuss. They're the perfect blend of practicality and fashion-forward flair.

The mittens are sized by the type of yarn you choose. The medium size is made with a worsted-weight yarn plus a super-bulky (as shown). The small is made with a DK plus a super bulky. And the large is made with an Aran plus a super bulky. Malabrigo Rasta will work as the super bulky on any of the other background yarns.

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.

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! 


**Note before beginning: Once you see the bunnies in the cabbage patch on this hat, you can't un-see them. **

It's August, and fall is rapidly approaching. This small, easy project will get you and your loved ones ready for the crisp weather. 

Knitting the hat is easy and fun (perfect for hanging out on the porch with a friend). 

You'll use 3 colors of yarn: A light, a medium, and a dark. You'll have so much fun playing with ideas for color combinations! 

The best part for the knitter is that the rounds of the different colors are spaced in such a way that you can carry the colors the whole way up the hat. You'll have fewer ends to weave in, and your hat will still be colorful! 




This shawl was first designed as an Advent mystery. Now all the clues are out--but it's a nice one for knitting one day at a time.

Worsted-weight yarn makes the project speed along. 

This shawl needs four skeins: a light, medium, dark, and variegated. You may also want to play with scraps or mini-skeins of worsted-weight yarn. Either way, each light, medium, dark, and variegated should total at least 210 yards. It gives you the opportunity to play with lots of color. And it's made with easy slipped stitches (plus about 200 beads), so that the knitting remains relaxing.

Go to your local yarn shop to get the pattern, so that they benefit from the sale. 


Have you ever wanted to make anything that you don’t need, but then suddenly  well  you realize you do NEED it?

That happened to me with this little pillow. 

I loved knitting it. It was fun to use a few beads to create the heart-in-a-heart.

It was also fun choosing the fabric to create the pillow form. After playing with lighter and darker colors, I ended up going with a pink that was just a wee bit lighter than the red yarn. (If you don’t have a sewing machine, maybe you have a crafty friend that does? Or you could sew the pillow by hand, and it’ll be fine.)

As I worked on it, the little pillow kept getting cuter and prettier:

**Variegated yarn? Happiness.
Pink ribbon? Yes, please.
Buttons? A necessity.**

This project would also make a wonderful sachet. Imagine opening up a dresser drawer to see such a sweet thing all year long.

Of course, it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, since we think about hearts every Februarybut I’m not giving mine to anyone. I’m keeping it for myself. (Be mine, little pillow.)
