Pink Ribbon
Knit a pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness, or knit it in a different color to promote awareness of other issues close to your heart.

Plarn Coupon or Receipt Pouch
Using plastic yarn to knit something that you'll use while shopping is a fun way to repurpose those plastic shopping bags (and maybe get you thinking about using reusable bags instead). This easy little pouch is great for storing coupons, receipts or other little necessities.

Water Bottle Cozy/Carrier
This cozy and carrier for a metal water bottle is doubly clever because it makes it easier to tote around an alternative to plastic bottles and it's knit with a yarn partially made from plastic bottles.

Eyelet Headband
Have a cute skein of yarn you aren't sure what to do with? Try whipping up one of these fast and easy eyelet headbands. The stitch pattern makes it super quick to knit up without being too boring, and it's not too fancy to upstage (or get lost in) a yarn that's interesting in its own right.

Swatch Pillow
Knitting swatches for gauge or to try out a new knitting stitch is always a great idea, but what to do with the leftover swatches? If you've got a handful of swatches you can stitch up this quick and easy pillow case to show them off.

Beaded Bag
A beaded bag is a fun way to show off knitting and beading without a lot of effort or even a lot of knitting skills. Worked in the round, the bottom of the bag is increased to the desired size, then the sides are worked with two rows of beads as embellishments.

Ribbed Wrap
This ribbed wrap is a basic rectangle pattern, which you can adapt to any size or pattern stitch you want. As is, it's a quick, stretchy and summery addition to your wardrobe.

Glisten Shawl
The Glisten Shawl is an easy triangle shaped shawl knit in Stockinette Stitch with increases on each side every other row. The glittery yarn and fringe make this wrap an evening-worthy project.

Cabled Bun Holder
Everyone with long hair needs more things to pull their hair back, and this cabled bun holder is a cool, quick-to-knit way to get your hair out of your face in a flash.

Yarn Over Wrap
This simple triangular wrap uses yarn overs and make one stitches to increase from just a few stitches to hundreds. Use a lovely skein (or several) or hand-dyed yarn for a beautiful, artistic effect.

Knit Bead Necklace
The inspiration for this Knit Bead Necklace is Mardi Gras beads, but knit in a different color it could be worn as a cool choker (or longer necklace if you keep knitting) any time of year.

Valentine Bag
This simple valentine bag is a great way to store valentines -- from your child's class or just from your sweetheart. Or use it to store other bits of paper you need to keep handy throughout the spring season.

Eyelet Armwarmers
These super-warm armwarmers are designed to go up to the elbow, keeping chills off your arms on days when you just want to wear a short-sleeved shirt even if there's a breeze or a cool evening coming.

Cabled Cuff
This cute, chunky cabled cuff is a breeze to knit and a joy to wear. Make it in cotton for a casual look or go with wool for something that will keep your wrists warm in the winter.

PolarKnit Fleece Earwarmer
If you love Polartec fleece sweatshirts you will you PolarKnit, the yarn made out of the same material. This fleece earwarmer is a simple project that will keep you super warm through the winter months

Fleck Stitch Envelope Purse
An envelope purse is one of the easiest shapes to knit, and having such a purse is pretty useful when you don't need to carry a lot of stuff around. This cutie is knit in Fleck Stitch, slightly more entertaining than Stockinette, with a long I-cord strap.

Halloween Bag
This Halloween bag is the perfect thing for a treat bag or even to use as a purse in the days before the big event. It's a simple knit bag with a Jack-o'-lantern face stitched on, then felted for durability.

Moleskine Cozy
People who love Moleskine notebooks are really crazy about them, decorating the covers and making them as personal as possible. For the knitter who loves Moleskine, here's a quick little knit cozy for your notebook.

Knit Cake
I call this cutie a knit cake, but while I was working it my mind was buzzing with possibilities for what else it could be. If you lined it (to hide the ugly back side of the embroidery) it could be a gift box, or you could use it as a bowl to stash your keys.

Knit Pencil Bag
This knit pencil bag is a colorful way to send your kids to school, or you can use it to hold knitting needles, small projects or your knitting tools in a larger knitting bag. It would also be perfect as a little travel makeup bag.

Dog Bandana
Dogs love to get dressed up, too, so why not knit a quick cotton bandana for your furry friend that matches one of your outfits?

Linen Stitch Belt

Trinity Stitch Headband
Trinity stitch is a lovely, nubby pattern that brings life to even the plainest cotton yarns. This pattern for an easy headband will keep your hair out of your face and in style all summer long.

Knit Wire Necklace
This knit wire necklace is a very quick and easy project and a good introduction to knitting with wire. The stitches look like squiggles and the random placement of beads makes it extra fun.

Knit Wire Bracelet
This basic pattern can serve as a jumping-off point for any sort of wire bracelet you might like to knit. Follow the pattern exactly, use a different bead layout, make it narrower, the sky's the limit!
