After what’s felt like a bit of a drought (to me, anyway), I’ve been spotting some cute free patterns once again. In case you’re interested, here’s a sampling.

• Life is Uneven, a great cowl, designed by Jessica Price and available at Cut Out + Keep.

It’s knit in bulky yarn, so it should work up quickly, and the variety of stitches looks positively complex (though it’s really quite straightforward).

• Turpan by Deborah Newton and available from naturallycaron.com.

I love, love, love the texture on this piece and the variety of stitches.

• A new DROPS shoulder piece, with cables and a nice, snug tie front to keep it from flapping about.

I’m planning to make this in the new Malabrigo wool/silk blend (with maybe a bit of futzing to get gauge).

• Last, but not least, check out these darling goldfish by Susan Dennis.

I’m usually deterred from casting on for little trinkets like these by the thought of all the fiddley bits—but how can I resist?
