Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This top-down shawl uses just one skein of fingering weight yarn. A simple mesh pattern opens up wonderfully, creating an airy and open fabric. A crochet bind off with (optional) scallops gives it a feminine touch and a romantic feel. The size of the shawl is very simple to cusomize, if you decide to knit it smaller or larger. All in all, it is...
Knitting: Baby Blanket
Some philosophers believe that a newborn’s mind is a blank slate, tabula rasa. Most parents will disagree. This blanket, however, is a true blank slate, open to adornments and alterations. Add a border, an I-cord edge, or leave it as it is and let its minimalistic simplicity shine. The blanket is entirely reversible.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
This baby blanket is very simple to knit - all you have to know is how to knit and purl, but the others don’t have to know it, right? The stacks of disappearing triangles look very impressive when the blanket is spread out, and the play of knit and purl stitches provides lots of texture.
Knitting: Cowl
This cowl features three different mesh blocks and a large stockinette portion, so that you can still stay warm and cosy. Due to its sideways construction the knitter stays in control - you can make it even longer (this sample was designed to be wrapped twice around your neck) or
Knitting: Pixie Hat
This hat sprung from a desire to try a pixie hat. I collected information about making a pointed hat and then just decided to wing it. The result was a supercute (well, at least in my own opinion!) head gear. The hat is knit entirely in the round, starting with a rib followed by a stockinette body. The purl stripes are optional, but they can be...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This hat was born out of a stash-busting frenzy and love of shaker rib. Very passionate start with an übersquishy result. I love the ability of shaker rib to take care of the shaping for you. You just start with a simple rib on smaller needles, then switch to bigger needles and shaker rib – and the hat grows as if by magic! The decreases are ve...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This beanie-style hat is knit entirely in the round, starting with smaller needles for a tighter brim, then the body is knit on larger needles. The ribbing continues into a simple knit and purl pattern, keeping the hat fabric elastic throughout, at the same time giving some diversion from a usual narrow rib. The stitch pattern is both charted a...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
The hat is knit entirely in the round, starting with smaller needles for a tighter brim, then the body is knit on slightly larger needles. The stitch pattern yields a squishy and rather stretchy fabric, which is especially useful with children’s hats! This is a good hat project for a beginner, all you need to know is how to knit and purl in the...
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
These are simple mitts with a lacy insert. The lace pattern comes from Vogue Knitting Stitchionary, volume 5. The stitch is called June Bugs, and combined with the bright colours of the yarn, it made me think of summer and sun, so I decided to keep the name. The rest of the mitts is knit in stockinette, and later the edges are folded in and sea...
