Simple stitches and luxe yarns are always a winning combination, and in Simple Chic Knits, there are plenty of knitworthy patterns that fit this description. Karen Miller and Susan Ritchie of the online yarn store Mrs Moon have collaborated to create this collection of beautifully simple modern knits; we’re pleased to share three of the must-make patterns featuring Blue Sky Alpacas yarns in this exciting new book.

Knit with Blue Sky Alpacas Worsted Certified Organic Cotton yarn, the Checked Baby Blanket makes a sweet welcome gift for newborns. The deceptively simple stitch pattern is knit with three colors of yarn, shown here in #606 Shell, #608 Lemonade and #607 Lemongrass to create an heirloom-quality blanket with a modern twist.

The College Scarf can be knit in any color combination of Blue Sky Alpacas Worsted Hand Dyes to match any school or sports team colors you wish (shown here in #2013 Midnight Blue and #2026 Petunia). The simple garter stripes create a squishy fabric that’s perfect for warding off chills while cheering your team on from the stands.

Fans of quick knits will enjoy the Neck Ruff, which is worked in Blue Sky Alpacas Bulky yarn, shown here in #1002 Silver Mink. This big-stitch project is designed to keep your entire neck warm without sacrificing softness for next-to-skin wear!
