A collection of 5 patterns showing of the gorgeousness of natural shades.

This shawl was inspired by some of the gorgeous shawls that came out of the Nature’s Shades-along run by Isla of BritYarn and Louise of Knit British.

I love this hat because it works up really quickly and is a great gift for the men and women in my life. It starts with a twisted 1x1 rib and moves into a stitch pattern that is mostly stockinette stitch but has two fun little rows every now and then which create the ridge details you see. Top with it with a pom-pom, the larger the better in my...

One Gooseberry Pie, two Gooseberry Pies. Big or little, there’s a size for your kid.

These socks are perfect for keeping feet toasty on hiking adventures. Sized for kids and adults, the whole family can have a pair -- no one’s feet need be cold again! The stitch pattern is small and easily memorisable so the knitting is fairly mindless and you can choose whichever construction is your favourite. Suitable for beginners sock knit...

I think this pattern is slightly crazy – a toddler sweater with all over colourwork and one billion ends to weave in (HINT: Weave in the ends as you go!!!) As fruitless as mud pies? Maybe. But the result is so worth it! It was too cute not to design.

I’m really into colourwork at the moment and inspired by the chevron patterns I’m seeing everywhere at the moment. I wanted to turn this inspiration into a sweet and cheerful sweater for everyday wear when the weather is cool. And voila, Everyday Sweets was born.

Parkin is gingerbread type cake that I first came across when I moved to Lancashire. It’s warming, comforting with a tiny bit of spice -- a lot like this shawl.

The DK weight yarn used makes a solid, substantial and cosy shawl. This shawl uses memorisable stitch patterns to blend colours and create a complex feel that is still easy to execute. On cold and dreary days, this warm, playful shawl is just the ticket.

With an easy to memorize repeat, this colorwork pattern flies off the needles. The massive pompom tops it all off for an adorable hat that strangers will stop you to comment on.

I’m a big fan of stranded colourwork and woodland creatures – so when the two are combined, I’m in heaven! This little jumper is work ed in the round, so there’s no seaming to worry about and it grows surprisingly quickly, with practically no fiddly finishing at the end – just wash, block and wear.

This is a slouchy hat, designed to be a fun and quick knit.

Pattern was revamped and therefore newly tech edited in September 2014. It was edited to make instructions clearer and tweak the sizing.
