The Trad Hat is based on traditional Aran patterns and uses very simple cables on a reverse stocking stitch background with moss stitch infill.

Clive is an easy-knit men’s glove in three sizes. Using only stocking stitch and 2x2 rib, Clive knits up quickly in DK weight yarn. The arched gusset and ribbed thumb add interest for both the knitter and the wearer.

The arched gussets in these mittens reminded me of a vaulted ceiling. They are formed by simple M1L/M1R increases, strategically placed. The patterns are made from a simple cable and some twisted stitches, all easy to remember and execute.

These gloves work up quickly in double knitting yarn and the double moss stitch textured hand adds extra warmth. The pattern is suitable for any double knitting weight yarn - I recommend a high wool content for warmth!

I knew when I saw the Silvia edging that I had to use it in a shawl. The edging has been adapted from a traditional Estonian lace pattern by Olga Jamovidova and Liina Gavrilo on their excellent blog ‘New lace – old traditions’. I then set out to find another stitch pattern to complement it and found ‘Crashing Waves’ in Debbie Tomkins’ stitch di...
