"Party Punch Shawl" by Toni Lipsey @tlyarncrafts
All of us crafters jump at the chance to knit or crochet that one project that gets all the wows--the one that you pull out and drape around the neck more often than you'd care to admit. This is it!
Crocheted with just one skein of Sweet Sock on a size I (5.5mm) hook, the finished shawl has a wingspan of 45in (114cm) and depth of 15.5in (39cm). The pattern includes a link to a video tutorial and is available free on Ravelry.

"Montana Mountain Cowl" by Andrea Mowry @dreareneeknits
This eye-catching Moebius cowl makes colorwork a snap since your floats are hidden inside--yay! Knit on size US 5 (3.75mm) needles, the cowl knits up quickly using the Mosaic method to add color and texture to your piece.
Finished measurements are 10 in (25.5cm) high with a circumference of 29 in (73.5cm). You'll need 1 skein each of 2 contrasting colors of Sweet Sock to complete your cowl. Another great choice is to use one skein of Sweet Sock for your main color and two skeins of Spincycle Dyed in the Wool for your contrast color. The pattern is available on Ravelry.

"Stillwater Socks" by Summer Lee @summer.lee.knits
We just love the mock cable detail traveling along the simple textured panel of this sock. With charted and written instructions, you'll sail along from the cuff down on your socks that are available in sizes small through extra-large.
Knit with size US 1 (2.25mm) needles, you'll need just one skein of Sweet Sock for a solid-colored pair of socks. If you want to add contrasting toes and heels, check out our Sweet Sock minis--one mini is all you'll need. The "Stillwater Socks" pattern is available on Ravelry.

"Hip N' Slip Hat" by Ross Taylor @twisted.ambitions.yarn
This fun and fashion-forward hat knits up quickly holding two strands of fingering yarn or one strand of DK yarn on size US 6 & 7 (4-4.5mm) needles. The color choice possibilities are nearly endless if you choose to marl your colors as Ross did in his sample.
This hat will be fabulous holding any of Ross' speckled or semi-solid colorways double-stranded. One skein is all you need! Or, as Ross did with his hat, you can select one skein of Sweet Sock and 3 Sweet Sock minis to knit your hat. Or, if you want to go with the DK version, you'll need one skein of Wicked DK. The pattern is available for purchase on Ravelry.
