"Trinigan" by Andrea Mowry @dreareneeknits
This oversized cardigan uses the Mosaic knitting method to create a fabric that is simply sensational. Add warm and comfy too!
The sweater is knit from the bottom up seamlessly except for underarms on size US 5 & 7 (3.75-4.5mm) needles. The body and yoke are worked flat and the sleeves are picked up and knit in the round.
For finished bust circumferences 43.5 (49, 52, 56, 59)(62, 65, 70, 74) in. / 110.5 (124.5, 132, 142, 150)(157.5, 165, 178, 188) cm., you will need 5 (6, 6, 7, 7)(8, 8, 8, 9, 9) skeins of Cool Beans Worsted as your MC.

"Glenmont" by Dee O'Keefe @deeokeefedesigns
The perfect shoulder addition on a chilly evening, Glenmont is a top-down triangular shawl that illustrates the beauty of knit and purl stitches when combined with an eye-catching pattern. Easy to knit with charted and written instructions, the shawl knits up quickly on size US 7 & 8 (4.5-5mm) needles. You will need 3 skeins of Cool Beans Worsted to complete your shawl with finished dimensions of 58in (147cm) x 26in (66cm).
We omitted 1 repeat in our Jolene model and used 2 skeins of Luxe Worsted. To make the larger golden version, you will need 3 skeins.

"Our Toques" by Tif Neilan @tifneilan_handknits
This clever pattern includes instructions for two coordinating worsted weight hats with moderate slouch, featuring chevron inspired colorwork motifs, created through the use of stranded colorwork in three colorways.
The concept behind this design is to knit one hat for yourself and another for a friend or family member, using a single hat kit! The pattern designs are similar, yet different enough to alleviate that feeling of “I don’t want to knit the same pattern twice!”
One skein each of your three favorite colors of Cool Beans Worsted will knit two coordinating hats. Karen used Jolene, Silver Streak, and Smoke Show.
Pattern calls for US size 7 (4.5mm) 16" circular for brim, US 10 (6mm) for stranded colorwork, US 9 (5.5mm) for crown decreases.
The Our Toques pattern by Tif Neilan is available for purchase on Ravelry.
