I can now count the number of weeks until Bug arrives on one hand. My desk is a happy mess of beads and things. I'll knit a little, dream of tiny outfits for those even foggier first weeks.
Bretonbone is a practical, modern layering piece inspired by the classic Breton top. It works up quickly and suits lots of different fibres - cotton for summer, cotton+merino for mid-season, alpaca or wool for winter. This pattern includes options for both DK and aran weight yarns. Available in sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL)
The wedge stitch is worked over two rows using stitches of increasing height to create a distinctive diamond or “wedge” shape. It grows reasonably quickly and is much less complicated than it looks. This tutorial includes step-by-step photos, clear written instructions and a stitch diagram.
Window into Winter is a modern, geometric shawl design which takes inspiration from the stark lines, dark skies and glistening snows of the Swedish winters. However, it is just as a much a view out of winter, too: The contrasting border mimics the shape and colour of the winter aconite, a cheerful little yellow flower that is the first to appear after the long, cold months.
Outside it's snowing again, but inside I cast my mind back to spring time in Japan: cherry blossoms and pretty colours. Introducing my latest pattern release, Hanabira, for Pom Pom Quarterly.
In the first part of this series on crochet ribbing, I will show you how to create a tight rib using a combination of HTC (HDC for you US folks) and slip stitches worked in the back loop.
This cheerful, warm hat pattern includes full written instructions as well as step-by-step photos of all the tricky bits. Make one, make two, make a set for the whole family!
NEW PATTERN: These simple striped mittens are the perfect winter gift for little people. Three colour scheme suggestions, step-by-step photos of the trickier techniques (foundation crochet, changing colours, crochet ribbing), and a variation for a rounded tip are included in the pattern.
Crunchy merino, death by ends and trying not to get overwhelmed by adulting - my plans for a creative November.
