Pattern: Ishbel Beret by Ysolda Teague
Yarn: Sundara Yarn sock yarn in a Limited Edition colorway
Needles: US 3 and US 7
Finished Size: Medium- but less "slouchy"
Pattern Modifications: I used a picot turning edge on the brim to add some visual interest, then repeated the vine lace pattern for the minimum amount of repeats for the medium size, per the pattern notes. The result is a beret with some, but not to much "slouch".
Notes: The semi-solid colorway gives it a depth unachievable with a solid yarn. Sock yarn is perfect for berets and hats- it has bounce, and blocks wonderfully over a large dinner plate.
Pattern: Dipped Infinity Scarf by Laura Chau
Yarn: Sundara Yarn Sock Yarn in Limited Edition colorways
Needles: US 8 (5mm)
Finished Size: 7 inches in height, 43 inches in circumference
Pattern Modifications: Cast on fewer stitches than called for in pattern (200), and knit fewer sections/ color changes than called for in pattern (pattern calls for 8 different colors, while I only used 5)
Notes: None, other than I love the colors!

Pattern: Herbivore
Yarn: Sundara Yarn sock yarn in a Limited Edition colorway
Needles: US 6 / 4.0 mm
Finished Size: 16" from cast on along center stitch, 75" wingspan along cast off edge
Notes: This pattern is really intuitive to knit, once you get a few rows into it. The extra corners in this triangular shawl are interesting in a modern, geometric kind of way and help keep the shawl on your shoulders. The sections of stockinette paired with diagonal lines of twisted ribbing really play up the color and quality of the yarn--it's simple and elegant at the same time. A great use for one skein of sock yarn.

Pattern: Endpaper Mitts by Eunny Jang
Yarn: Sundara Yarn sock yarn in "Orchid" and a Limited Edition colorway.
Needles: US0 and US2
Finished Size: Medium
Yarn: Sundara Yarn sock yarn in "Orchid" and a Limited Edition colorway.
Needles: US0 and US2
Finished Size: Medium
Notes: This pattern only used a tiny bit of sock yarn -- 28g of the main color (the green) and 19g of the contrast color - making it perfect for leftovers, or multiple matching pairs of mitts. I love the yarn so much and, as usual, it was great to knit with!

Pattern: Daybreak by Stephen WestYarn: Sundara Yarn sock yarn in "Marigold" and "Robin's Egg"
Needles: US 3
Finished Size: Medium
Pattern Modifications: I didn't change a thing!
Notes: The shawl took much more of the second color (the Robin's Egg) than anticipated. I used all but a few yards of it, and about 3/4 of the Marigold.

Yarn: Sundara Yarn sock yarn in a Limited Edition colorway
Needles: US 4/3.5mm
Finished Size: 34"
Pattern Modifications:
1) Full length sleeves without the puff detail.
2) Evenly spaced the buttonholes.
Notes: According to the pattern schematic, the narrowest part of the sweater is at the joining of the peplum to the upper part of the sweater. I set that at my natural waist, although the pictures in the pattern book show it worn more loosely.
