Crochet: Shawl / Wrap
In Swedish, the word for kite (drake) is the same as the word for dragon. Thus, this kite shaped shawl is named after the dragon Shenron in the anime series Dragon Ball. The Shenron shawl is worked from the centre out and is perfect for using up mini-hanks, calendar yarn and any leftover yarn. Alternate multiple different hand dyed or variegate...
Crochet: Cowl
A warming neck cowl crocheted with slip stitches and extended single crochet stitches. Much less bulky to wear under your coat compared to a scarf or shawl. This pattern uses US crochet terms.
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
English pattern is in US crochet terminology.
Crochet: Tee
Syringa is the Latin name for Lilacs, one of my favourite signs - and fragrances - of spring. The Syringa Tee is an intermediate difficulty pattern that is crocheted in panels top-down in fingering weight cotton yarn. The T-shaped panels are stitched or crocheted together at the sides. Syringa Tee comes in sizes XXS-4X, to fit busts from c. 65 ...
Crochet: Mittens
A basic pattern for no-frills crocheted mittens that are quick and easy to hook up. They are light yet warm in 100% pure wool and fit your hand snugly with thumb gusset and ribbing at the wrist. This pattern uses US crochet terminology and has been tested.
Crochet: Brimmed Hat
Aurinko is Finnish for sun. The Aurinko hat works up quickly in any size from newborn to grandpa. The pattern includes instructions to make either a classic sun hat with a more flared brim (as the pink/white) or a bucket shaped hat (as the blue/pink). With some simple maths, you can make the hat fit any head size, without the need for a gauge s...
Crochet: Tee
Originally published in print in Swedish magazine “Stickat & sånt” in 2020, this design has been improved, tested & re-released as Scilla Tee in English and Swedish.
Crochet: Sleeveless Top
Introducing the Jailbreak Top, a comfortable tank top in seven sizes - available as written pattern in English & Swedish - with solid coverage where you need it, combined with a bit of a surprise openwork back. The long bars in the back panel remind me of cartoon style prison gates, hence the name.
Crochet: Sleeveless Top
Aestas means summer in latin, and this top is just that – a perfect summer top. Crocheted in breathable heavy worsted weight cotton with decorative openwork panels down the sides and enough coverage at the front to wear out and about, this piece may just become a staple of your summer wardrobe!
Crochet: Sleeveless Top
This simple yet stylish tank top is a quick and easy make using only basic crochet stitches (US crochet terms) and any cotton based sport (or even DK if you can meet gauge) weight yarn.
Crochet: Sleeveless Top
A quick-to-make halter neck top that starts as a row of granny squares. The blue ’flowers’ in the squares reminded me of Anemone hepatica, a spring flower common to Sweden and north Europe, hence the name. The pattern is available in Swedish and English (US crochet terminology).
Crochet: Pullover
Introducing the Karamell Sweater; a soft and comfortable pullover that works up quickly and comes in sizes 4Y to women’s XL. Karamell is Swedish for candy, and is also the name of the yarn I designed it for: Karamell by Falkgarn, a worsted weight self-striping yarn. This is a straightforward pattern, perfect if it is your first time tackling so...
Crochet: Clutch
I originally created this pattern for a Swedish Mystery Crochet-Along/ CAL.
Crochet: Pullover
Introducing ’Woolly Waves’ - a baby to toddler sized sweater worked in fingering weight (sock) yarn in two colours: a solid colour contrasting with a gradient or a variegated one. You don’t have to use a self-striping yarn for your contrast colour – but it was the shifting colours of the yarn that inspired the design. The sweater has a zip-up f...
Crochet: Potholder, Table Setting - Other
A mandala pattern made to fit around those useful but rather boring cork hot pad trivets you get at IKEA.
Crochet: Dress
Pattern now also available in Swedish! This cute and simple baby dress is crocheted in one piece, top down. First, you make the circular yoke in rows back and forth. The yoke has button closure at the back. The skirt section is then crocheted straight onto the yoke, in rounds. It can be worn on its own in hot weather or over a body and tights i...
Crochet: Sleeveless Top
A breeze to make, this summery cover-up consists of basic crochet stitches and only a couple of slightly less common techniques (reverse sc and foundation dc, both of which are super easy to learn from YouTube tutorials).
Crochet: Scarf, Cowl, Shawl / Wrap
A versatile stash buster, this cowl (scarf or stole) can be worked in pretty much any yarn, in one, two or more colours.
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
Warm and comfy beanie or slouchy with a bit of an unusual tri-colour pattern for interest and a ribbed brim for snug fit.
Crochet: Animal Toy
I wanted a small amigurumi bee for the baby mobile I was making for my first born in 2010. I couldn’t find a pattern I liked so I came up with this little guy.
