Love brioche?

This is the nerdiest blanket you are ever likely to come across.

Genesis is a magnificent, triangular, double-knitted shawl, showcasing many vibrant and exciting techniques. It is knitted top down, starting with a centre-tab beginning (rather like a garter tab, but there’s no garter stitch here), and finished with a Kitchener graft.

I’m delighted to be able to introduce this innovative and gorgeous double-knitted mosaic cowl.

Triple Jack is a fun twist on the iconic and beautiful flag of the United Kingdom: from most angles, it simply looks like a vertically striped hat, worked in three colours. Seen from the crown, however—and rather appropriately, for the flag of a royal nation!)—thanks to the placement of a few very carefully spaced decreases, the real magic happ...

IT HAS ARRIVED!

What’s all that nonsense about this being a hat with two patterns?

This fabulously bold and chunky cowl is such a quick and simple knit—I genuinely knitted mine over a twenty-four-hour period (not taking twenty-four hours to do so…), and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to wear it so soon after starting!

So what’s this all about? It’s a sock pattern, yes, and it’s a pattern for a striped, ribbed sock.

In August 2017, my husband and I, along with two friends, set off on an epic road trip across America. We drove from San Francisco to New York, crossing four time zones, seventeen states (as well as Washington DC, so that’s eighteen territories all together), and notching up three thousand, eight hundred and ninety-four miles along the way.

The World of Welt Cowl, as the name suggests, uses welts to create texture and structure. As a result, the cowl sits really well around your neck, standing tall, instead of sitting flat around your shoulders the way many cowls will.

If you are looking for some sixteenth-century, Italian opulence, then this is the scarf for you!

Who doesn’t love Hallowe’en?

The Paganino Cowl is a long, luxurious, stranded cowl, using a single solid colour, and a set of five different gradient contrast colours.

Dan the Plug’ole is a fun hat, with alternating sections of ribbing and reverse stocking stitch, separated by diagonally spiralling arms of eyelets, that gracefully work their way round the hat, meeting at a final nexus at the centre of the crown. The overall effect is one of movement and exuberance, and can be worn as a full-on slouchy hat, or...

The Invisicrown is a simple beanie with a difference.

Boo! Scared you, did I? That’s the Scaref for you!

01/01/23 MAJOR UPDATE AND OVERHAUL

The Wren Scarf is a sumptuously squishy, delightfully decadent scarf, made by using the two-colour brioche method, but with a twist! Well actually, with 62 twists, but that’s another story… What I mean is that there is now a way of working two-colour brioche with only one pass per row.

It might be true to say that there has never been a squishier, more luxurious, delicious cowl in all the world of knitting! It might be…

Snakes and Ladders is a moebius cowl that features ribbed sections, alternating with rope cables that run across the width of the cowl, and an I-Cord bind off at the edges (or, “edge”, as of course, a moebius cowl has only ONE edge!), giving it a firm structure, and a tidy finish.

Perfect Stashbuster! Less than 50g of DK yarn required.

Back in May 2012, I started work on a new sock pattern, the same day that my dear pet rat, Pollux, was put to sleep. I named the pattern in his honour.

Drakar is a sock of two halves. The name means “dragons” in Swedish, and I chose it because the design reminds me of the markings down a dragon’s tail. The dragonish zigs and zags down the front and the back of the sock separate two very different halves. One half has vertical ribs sweeping down the length of the sock, and the other half has h...

Sizes are designed to fit feet that are 8in (small), 9in (Medium) and 10in (Large) in circumference around the ball of the foot.

Pollux features two travelling swathes of stitches incorporating a simple but elegant twisted stitch design, which gracefully wrap themselves around the ankle, crossing over each other on the top of the foot, and ending in points at the edges of the foot.

This pattern is actually a formula for adding a beautiful cable gusset detail to any sock you are working on.

For a while, I’ve been dreaming up a sock design that incorporates a detail composed of a series of inter-connected circles.

This sock has a simple but effective cabled design, resulting in a geometric, criss-cross pattern that wraps itself around the leg and the top of the foot.
