This is a cute and quick pattern, with instructions for making LaBaaBaa a little sweater out of scraps of fingering yarn so you can match. There are kits available for this pattern as well that come with all the yarn you need, the keychain, and safety eyes.

It combines a memorable repeat with some interesting finishing techniques, including surface crochet and a twisted fringe. She includes very detailed instructions for both, so even if you’ve never picked up a crochet hook before, you’ll be able to follow along.

Yep, you heard that right. I love cables, but it is a real bummer that they typically create a fabric that only looks good on one side. Marci’s clever design incorporates cables that look great on both sides, so you don’t have to worry about what side is facing out when you’re wearing it. One side is the “Twigs,” which is meant to emulate tree branches, and the other side is the “Roots,” which is meant to emulate a tree’s root system.

It would work well in a variety of colors, making it great for using up stash yarn, and the brim is knit in a different color, allowing you to add an extra pop to whatever color palette you choose (though I am partial to Joy’s original color selections and love the way it looks in black and white).
