I recently knit Arcuato. I love how it came out and I loved knitting it. The pattern is clear and easy to follow. Written directions and a chart are included. Also how to do a provisional cast on ( I can never remember this!) and Kitchener for garter stitch. It’s a pattern with just enough challenge to make it an interesting knit, but not too complicated. mimicodd.com

I recently knit the Uprising and Rhinebeck Hats. The charts look a little daunting to start with but are really well explained, as are cast on and Kitchener stitch for garter. Both turned out brilliantly, one was knitted as a gift and took all my willpower to actually give it away. Photos of both projects are on Instagram - Uprising and Rhinebeck

I've knit more than a handful of Woolly Wormhead's patterns but one that I particularly love is the Elfdans pattern. Her patterns are always clear and concise and there is inevitably a new technique, sometimes small, sometimes (craft) life changing, that surprises and pleases me. Her elegant way of conveying even complex techniques has given me confidence to tackle new projects and I am excited with every new pattern that she publishes. You can see my Eldans project on Instagram.
