4) Lana d'Oro Men's Scarf - $17

this scarf has a really nice manly texture...you need to look at the blow up picture to appreciate the stitch and the yarn is a soft 50% alpaca/50% wool. I chose to show the most popular "manly" colors here, but there are lots of other colors to pick from here if your man can go out on a limb! If you choose to order another color via the "yarn" page, order 2 skeins and in the "notes" section, just say you want the scarf pattern!

8) Felted Kochuron Mittens - $20

a quick knit and they're warm and soft....hugely popular...2 sizes: women's medium and large. Although this pair doesn't have an internal knitted cuff, I wrote the directions to include that if you are a mitten wearer like me that likes is snug at the wrist (felted mittens aren't snug, so after they're felted, I work a blanket stitch around the inside wrist about 2" up from the edge, pick up stitches from this and then work a k1 p1 ribbed cuff for about 1.5" so it doesn't show on the outside, but keeps the mitten nice and snug at the wrist)

9) Kochuron Spiral Hat - $20

Last year I promoted an entrelac hat using 1 skein of Kochuron. But for those of you who don't want to do entrelac, this simple hat pattern is knit flat and on the bias and then the cast on and bound off edges are grafted to create this wonderful spiral. Knit in Noro's " Kochuron" angora blend...I've seen this hat on all sorts of face shapes and it looks great on them all....I love the double brim since that keeps my ears really warm!
