Embracing color and technology, the team behind Lion Brand is bringing a new vision to classic crafts.
Out front, the door handles and the bike rack are "knit bombed" -- slang for yarn graffiti; in the window, fanciful, oversize knitting tools greet passersby.
Basic knitting skills are all you need to create this mouse (your cat will thank you). You can find other amigurumi patterns at lionbrand.com
.
The choice of yarn makes all the difference. Here, simple cowl patterns using a stockinette stitch yield three striking scarf alternatives.
For the multicolored piece worn by Lion Brand technical editor Nadira Adams, a base yarn is paired with a succession of bright strands.
The cowl on Donaldson is ultrathick and cozy, with three strands acting as one.
