Knucks – Knit these cozy fingerless gloves in DK weight yarn and spell out a Valentine’s message on the knuckles! (Micah says “Knit with worsted for him, to make them larger!”)
Suggested yarn: Tara Tweed for something tweedy but still super soft.

Turn A Square – A quick-knitting hat that lets you play with color (a great way to use up leftover worsted weight yarn!)
Suggested yarns: Brooklyn Tweed Shelter or Imperial Stock Ranch Columbia 2-py and Noro Kureyon
Regular Guy Beanie – A great basic guy’s hat in an aran weight. Guys love basic hats!
Suggested yarn: Imperial Yarns Columbia or the Fiber Co Organik
Graham – A slouchy ribbed hat in worsted weight.
Suggested yarn: Neighborhood Fiber Co Studio Worsted
For Her:
![Honey Cowl photo madelinetosh](https://fibrespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/honey_long_shot_medium2-300x212.jpg)
Honey Cowl – Cozy cowl in a slip stitch pattern perfect for showing off a beautiful hand-dyed DK weight yarn. You need just 225 yards for the short version or 450 for the long version.
Suggested yarn: Dream in Color Everlasting DK
Noro Striped Scarf – Two colors of self-striping yarn combine for a gorgeous effect. (You’ll need two balls of each color.)
Suggested yarn: Noro Silk Garden or Noro Kureyon
French Press Felted Slippers – Quick to knit, adorable, and warm! A couple of cute buttons, a quick spin in the washing machine, a little hand sewing, and you’ve got a smashing pair of slippers. (Staff Tip: Paint a design on the soles in puffy paint to make your slippers less slippery on wood floors.)
Suggested yarn: Stonehedge Fiber Mill Shepherd’s Wool

From Norway With Love – A sweet colorwork hat covered in hearts! (there are matching mittens and a scarf too!) Pick a light worsted or DK weight yarn – great for using up those leftovers you’ve been saving. (Staff Tip: If you’re just knitting the hat, try a self-striping yarn like Noro Silk Garden for the hearts – easy-peasy color changes!)
Suggested yarn: Stonehedge Fiber Mill Shepherd’s Wool, Spud and Chloe Sweater
For You!
