You must try one of his fabulous designs for your next knitting project. Matthew Hesson McInnis wanted to design a scarf that would have clean vertical stripes of color, with lots of softness and drape. Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool provided the perfect blend of silk and wool in the most scrumptious colors (gorgeous on their own and in combinations that can be subtle or striking). So, why is this pattern called the Great Excuse Scarf? To achieve those vertical color stripes, the pattern would have to call for lots of intarsia color changes (yuck), for lots of long, seams (double-yuck), or for knitting the long way. He took this last approach, and so each row has hundreds of stitches (but there are only 62 rows).

Hyphen Boy Designs Triple Warm Toque Hat Pattern
Hyphen Boy Designs are fabulous patterns designed by Matthew Hesson-Mcinnis. Matthew by day is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Coordinator of the Quantitative Psychology Sequence at Illinois State University. His lovely designs are a result of his love of knitting. You must try one of his fabulous designs for your next knitting project. For those of you who do not hang out with Canadians might be unfamiliar with the term Toque (pronounced tuke), which refers to a warm, woolen, ribbed hat. The designer Matthew Hesson-McInnis found himself at odds with more traditional ribbed hats because his ears were never warm enough. Plus the fact the hat does not fold over at the same spot. Thus, he set about designing a hat that would, in fact, keep his ears warm. To keep the ears warm, he decided the hat should fold over not just once but twice, giving two extra layers of ribbing for a total of three layers of wool! With three layers, the toque is triple-warm, hence the name. Please note the hat pictured was made from Dream In Color Classy which can be found in our yarn section. Sized for children to adults
