Free Cowl Knitting Pattern: The Rhubarb Crumble Cowl
This cowl has lots of texture, from small seed stitch pebbles to large bobbles to little eyelet holes, that is meant to mimic the topping of a good crumble. What’s more, the pattern is easy to memorize, just like a good crumble topping recipe. Because this is knit in a DK yarn and takes just one skein, it also works up quickly and makes for good gift-knitting.
Summer Knitting: Five Simple Strategies for Success
If you’re a casual knitter, you might assume there’s no point to knitting during summer. After all, it’s hot.

How to Knit a Star Toe (Toe Up and Cuff Down)
The star toe is a great toe style for knitters whose middle toes are longer than their big toe.
