Twist and Shout Scarf

Posted on December 5, 2024December 5, 2024by Eliza

Anyone else a fan of matching sets? I’ve never actually owned any, but I have this unrequited dream. So when I made the Twist and Shout Hat, I figured there also should be a Twist and Shout Scarf. Because, matching. The measurements for this scarf are pretty fluid, especially in regards to length, because you […]

Twist and Shout Hat

Posted on December 5, 2024May 28, 2025by Eliza

I’ll start by confessing that I never intended to design or publish one pattern this December, let alone two. It just kind of happened. I had finished a WIP and needed another, but I couldn’t settle on another design, so I went to my old standby—hats. I love knitting kids’ hats to donate to various […]

Ladylike Illusions

Posted on September 6, 2024September 6, 2024by Eliza

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a pattern, so I feel like I should reintroduce myself. Hi—I’m Eliza. I write books and design knitting patterns. Sometimes I even design patterns based on books I’ve written. Like now: Ladylike Illusions is inspired by a scene in my Beauty and the Beast retelling, The Beast’s Magician. […]

Basic Ribbed Hat

Posted on November 10, 2023November 10, 2023by Eliza

Author’s note: I actually wrote this post months ago, so this is February or March Eliza speaking, rather than November Eliza. I’ve since moved my knitting focus to a larger, ongoing project. I’ve probably written in a previous post about how I almost never knit the same thing twice. I get bored too easily, and […]

Garter Ridge Baby Blanket

Posted on September 15, 2021September 13, 2021by Eliza

It’s baby blanket time again! One of my dear friends from college is pregnant. She’s had several miscarriages, so we’re all extra excited about this rainbow baby. I chose Lion Brand Feels Like Butta yarn because a) it feels amazing and b) I could make a whole blanket with one skein. It’s not quite as […]

Striped Cardigan

Posted on July 7, 2021July 5, 2021by Eliza

I never follow a pattern exactly as written. I try, but it never works. So last year, when I found a cardigan sweater pattern that I loved, I decided I’d try it. No changes. Well, almost no changes. The pattern was Comfiest Knit Cardigan by Mama in a Stitch. I chose to make a size […]

Waffle Charity Block

Posted on January 20, 2021January 13, 2021by Eliza

I love 1×1 waffle stitch. I used it in my Winter Headband and Herald Angels Hat. So I’m surprised I haven’t made a charity block with it yet. It’s incredibly simple, just knit and purl, but the texture is awesome. I honestly think I could make a dozen blocks with this stitch (and this is […]

Ninja Beanie and Cowl

Posted on January 6, 2021January 1, 2021by Eliza

Welcome to 2021! It feels like it’s been a loooong time coming. I know the difficulties of 2020 aren’t totally behind us yet, but I’m hopeful that we can make this a positive year. For my first post of the new year, I’m sharing the Christmas hats that I made for the boys this year. […]

Sideways Pinstripe Hat

Posted on October 28, 2020October 23, 2020by Eliza

I love hats. Some people keep socks on their needles as a quick-win, carry-around-with-them-everywhere project, but I prefer hats. They’re quick and easy, and around here, everyone needs them. I like lightweight hats for spring and fall, heavier hats for the dead of winter, even headbands for when my hair is up. My nephew’s birthday […]

Moss Stitch Charity Block (#15)

Posted on September 30, 2020September 28, 2020by Eliza

I love trying out new stitch and color patterns on my blocks for Warm Up America, but sometimes I like going back to the basics: those old familiar stitches that don’t require thought. This is one of them. It’s usually called moss stitch, but recently I’ve also heard it called double seed stitch. It’s really […]
