This stylish snood is inspired by a wintery, pebbled path covered in moss of various colours.
Knitting: Cardigan
This hip-length cardigan was inspired by the swathes of richly coloured, autumn leaves covering the ground. My aim was to create a comfy cardigan that’s easy to slip on, but also well shaped and elegant.
Knitting: Coat / Jacket
This wonderfully thick and warm over-sized cardigan features all-over bobbles in an attractive diagonal formation.
Knitting: Pullover
“This seamless top-down design has a slightly wider body than many sweater styles so it’s comfortable to wear, while the fitted sleeves ensure it also looks smart,” says designer Kyoko Nakayoshi. “It features an inverted triangle double eyelet motif - make sure to work this motif slightly tighter than the stocking stitch tension, so that the sw...

(And for keeping your own hands warm during w...

Knitting: Vest
This low-necked vest features an all-over Fair Isle pattern. A vertical-striped steek is used for the armholes and front neck, allowing the entire garment to be knitted in the round. Steeks are sections of “waste” knitted fabric that are later cut to create the openings. Short-row shaping is also used to create an elegant shoulder line.
Knitting: Cardigan
This oversized cable cardigan is designed to wrap (“maku” in Japanese) you in a delicious chunky knit. It is made of one simple rectangular piece. A provisional cast-on method is used to work one side of the garment, then stitches are later picked up to work the other side in order to place the cable motif neatly at the centre back of the garme...

Long and warm, in super-trendy spring colours, this chunky snowflake cardigan is the perfect solution to all your winter/spring wardrobe woes!
Knitting: Purse / Handbag
Miranda bag is knitted in double layers. Starting from the base, which is knitted flat, the body is made by circular knitting. The use of Shetland wool and thick cable panels help provide support and give much denser and stiffer fabric to minimise sagging. Once you start, you’ll be surprised how logical the bag is constructed.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This triangular shawlette is worked from the centre outwards. The ruffled edging is crochet, which is made by first casting off loosely then four double-trebles are worked into each stitch. This method creates dense and delicate ruffles that work for most of the lace yarn. If longer ruffles are desired, work extra rows of single double-treble (...
