This is a super simple, super gorgeous jumper. Great for a first jumper project. I always find working with stripes speeds my knitting up no end and

This gorgeous jumper, with its fabulous texture and voluminous sleeves is knitted from the top down. I’ve done a video on how to get you going with this. If you’ve never done two colour brioche before, it really isn’t difficult and you can certainly give it a first go with this jumper but it’s probably not for a beginner!

This fabulous shawl is crocheted using Plump DK. It is a shallow semicircle measuring 160cm by 45cm high.

Does a tank top ever go out of fashion? Unlikely I think, but it does seem to be particularly popular this year (2021 for those of you reading in the future!). Back when we had a shop, many moons ago, at least once a week someone would come in asking for a basic tank top pattern. I’ve only just taken the hint (sorry about that!) but to make up ...

This cowl has a lovely, lofty feel to it and once you have mastered the loopy stitch is very quick to make. The loops or ladder effect is made by drawing out a long loop on each double crochet stitch that you make, you do this by wrapping the yarn over a ruler or piece of card. The cowl is designed so you can wrap it around your neck twice to m...

Have a look at the garment measurements to work out your size… the XS is very small (young teen size) and the size you choose will depend of the kind of fit you’d like. See photos for the same size (S) jumper on 3 different sized people.

Super jazzy and cheerful, what’s not to like!

I strongly feel that a Christmas Jumper should be for life and not just for Christmas. It’s that one piece of nostalgic clothing that comes out year after year and puts a smile on your face. And as

This is quite deceptive as it looks as though there is a bit of colourwork involved in the main part of the scarf, however, it is just alternate stripes. So clever! The downside of this are the ends, I have tackled these by crocheting them in as I go and I would highly recommend that you do this too. There are two parts to the scarf, the main s...

Super simple and so lovely, this shawl uses three different decreases to create a beautiful shallow elongated triangle that is easy to wear. We’ve used four colours, but three skeins is plenty if you prefer.

The sweater is designed with lots of positive ease making it loose and boxy. It is knitted from the top down and involves simple stranded colourwork. The pattern gives instructions for making it longer and also making the sleeves narrower.

I think this blanket is stunning; a real family heirloom and the perfect present for a new baby. I had enough leftover yarn to make some bobbles but decided in the end to leave them off, less is more in some situations, however, it is always an option!

I love this shawl, the fact that it is made using an airy trellis stitch means that it is not too heavy and hangs beautifully. The shawl is triangular and starts at the bottom edge decreasing on one side only to the point, the stripes also get closer together nearer the top.

This beautiful cowl has a gorgeous texture and concertinas down to keep your neck super warm when there is a chill in the air. The large version is long enough so that you can double it over by twisting it over your head. You can either carry the colours up as you knit or break them off at each colour change. Be careful not to pull too tight if...

I am a huge fan of slip stitch knitting. I love colourwork, but stranding can be tricky especially when using a bulky yarn and slip stitch is just so clever! It is knitted from the top down with simple increases at the raglan shoulders. There is no shaping so that the fabric itself does the talking, I’ve kept it loose so that it isn’t cumbersom...

We have something for everyone in this gorgeous slip stitch pattern. The hat is so quick to make and the two colours make it lovely to wear too!

So this is such a super knit. It looks a bit tricky but is knitted using slip stitch so is actually really easy to tackle. I have knitted it in the round so that there is no finishing to do and no bulky seam which can be a bit uncomfortable on something worn so close to the neck. If you haven’t knitted in the round before, I really recommend yo...

This blanket is simple to make. I have given yarn quantities for the border separately as it uses quite a lot and you may want to do something smaller.

This beautiful scarf is made from mini granny squares which are joined with rows of granny stripes when you make it up. You could have lots of fun using different colours for the squares – I’ve gone for five different shades of pink – (you can easily get away with three) and there are countless ways of arranging them in the final garment

This sweet little sweater is perfect for any baby. I’ve made it here using traditional ‘boy’ colours but it is of course completely unisex so have fun with your own colour combinations.

This fun project is easy to make and has the added bonus of striping colours which is so rewarding when you look back on your progress. The chevrons are made from linen stitch which is so versatile and makes lovely draping crochet fabric.

This cowl has an incredible texture which is created by doing a large increase in one stich on one row and then decreasing by the same amount on the row above. This creates a large ‘bubble’ which is so

This wrap continues my current obsession with linen stitch. I love the fact that you can create all sorts of colourful patterns without stranding yarn. It also doesn’t look too crocheted which is generally a good thing.

This beautiful jumper is knitted flat from the bottom up and has the most amazing lofty texture; I absolutely love it! The entire project in knitted in moss (seed) stitch on 10mm needles and as the yarn is so chunky it’s super easy to spot if you have gone wrong which is my usual gripe with this stitch.

You will need:

Don’t be put off by the pattern for this lovely hat! It looks more confusing than it actually is! The pattern is just a series of cables that, due to the thickness of the yarn, need to move slowly, round by round, gradually climbing up the hat meaning there are more ‘cable rows’ than you would normally see in a pattern like this. Because of the...

If you spend your summer outside – at festivals, camping or just in your garden - this is the perfect shawl for you. It is super easy to make and light to wear, but most importantly, warm and snuggly for those chilly evenings as the sun goes down.

I love this scarf, it is perfect for the chilly, sunny days. Light to wear with cheerful flowers what’s not to like! The scarf is worked from side to side and the flowers worked within the rows rather than being added on after. The gorgeous ‘root’ tassels are added at the end.

This shawl is a shallow half-moon shape which means it is light and easy to wear without a lot of fabric weighing you down. Made just from trebles with a simple increase and decrease it is also easy to make. I have added this edging to jazz this up but you can leave them off and keep it super simple and understated.

This shawl is a shallow triangle which means it is light and easy to wear without a lot of fabric weighing you down. Made just from trebles with a simple increase and decrease it is also easy to make. I have added these rather lovely motifs to jazz this up, but you can leave them off and keep it super simple and understated.

No frills, but perfectly formed. Simple, stylish and exceedingly practical, this sweater should have ‘perfect’ written across the front. Feel free to add longer sleeves if you prefer (instructions below, but you will need more yarn).

This is a super simple scarf made using a granny stripe stitch pattern. We think the colour combinations are fabulous and hopefully make it look less like a 1970’s creation! We have used two skeins of four different colours to make a long, generous scarf, however, it works just as well using one skein of each colour to make a long but skinnier ...

This stunning jumper is loose, snuggly and perfect to throw on as the sun sets on a warm day. The softness of Podgy means it can be worn directly on the skin and is perfect to snuggle up in on chilly summer evenings (or winter!) It is knitted in the round from the top down. You can easily adjust the sizing by adding extra increases before split...

This is another linen stitch shawl and like Ice Dreams it is very easy. I would recommend crocheting in the ends as you work, you change colour on every row so there are a lot of them! The shawl is also totally reversable.

This is so easy!

The jumper is worked from the top down and is very quick and simple. The only trickiness is ensuring that you keep the floats nice and neat, especially as the zigzags get bigger. I would, for this reason, recommend knitting the sleeves flat, as it is particularly

A very simple hat that is easy to size up or down. The pattern is written for all sizes from baby to adult.

This really is a very quick and simple baby blanket. It is a basic chevron pattern, but to add some texture I have worked into the back loop of each stitch on every third row. NB. This is very easy to make larger.

This is a stunning, super clever pattern that is fun to knit (but in my experience, not in front of the telly!) The scarf is made using the ‘double knitting’ technique. Here you are basically knitting two scarves together, creating a super squishy piece that is completely reversible and totally lovely! Double Knitting is simple – you use both y...

This is a fun, two skein project that keeps you on your toes just enough to make life interesting! It sits close to the neck and so is nice and snuggly. I’ve written this in the round as on such a small item you will get a very bulky seam if you knit it flatIf you’ve not done it before

Super simple, but a little bit complicated to describe and explain! I’ve wanted to be able to work colour and texture into a design for some time and could never quite get it to work, other than using brioche, which I admit is lovely, but isn’t quite what I was after.

This is a DK version of our Luxury Cowl done with puffs instead of trebles. We have alternated rows of Plump DK with Pudding, the different textures make the colours pop. You need to change hook sizes as you change yarn. It is very simple to make just make sure you don’t twist the chain at the beginning.

This is a lovely, warm and generous scarf and is easy to make once you have got the hang of the pattern. So that the pattern works down to both ends I have made half and then turned the scarf and worked the second half off the base chain. We have also included a chart for this pattern which makes it easy to follow.

This scarf is very quick to make and fun to wear! The pompoms add an extra cheerful touch, should you feel you need it! The only slightly difficult/annoying aspect is sewing in the ends, I would recommend doing this at the end of every row.

Super simple and quick to knit up, this lovely soft cowl twists to fit snuggly round the next to keep you really warm. The clever zig zag pattern is reversible so there is no wrong side on show and it gives a beautiful texture.

This fabulous hat really makes a statement (especially if it is knitted in Bubblegum!). Knitted in super super chunky Podgy yarn it is wonderfully light, supremely warm and stupidly quick to make! You just need one skein of yarn for the hat, but an additional one if you want the fabulous pompom on top! The simple stitch pattern spirals round an...

This hat is knitted using slip stitch so you’re not working two yarns at the same time to

This beautiful hat is a lovely little colourwork project. You can have fun with all sorts of stunning Plump DK colour combinations and will have plenty left over to make some matching mitts.

This is now officially my favourite scarf, I love the delicate flower detail and the muted colours, it also has the benefit of being very warm, so it is practical too, it also looks great with my parker! This is a little bit tricky to get started so is probably not suitable for a beginner but once you get started the pattern repeat is 4 rows so...

This beautiful cardigan will see you through from early Autumn to late Spring. Made of supersoft Plump Superchunky yarn it has all the benefits of a chunky knit, but is floaty and light so doesn’t weigh you down. Perfect to throw on when there is a chill in the air, or layer up with when it’s freezing!

This super cute beret fun to make and wear. The pattern comes in three sizes; Newborn, 3-6mths and 6-12mths, however, it is very easy to make bigger and the pattern tells you how to do this.

This cute little tank top will suit any baby or toddler, keeping them stylish and super cosy. It’s a very simple knit with just a few rows of colourwork for some interest. You can of course just miss out the colourwork if you prefer. There are 4 rows in the chart where you are using 3 colours at a time. Be careful not to get in too much of a ta...

This is fabulous statement bedspread! A modern twist on a 1970s classic, it is absolutely stunning, super warm and will last generations. Unlike its 1970s counterparts, our Spring Bedspread is made of the softest, ethically sourced superfine merino and baby alpaca mix of Plump DK so you can be happy that you are not adding to the plastics probl...

This is a super-simple baby cardigan with a small amount of colourwork to give it an interesting twist. The cardy is knitted from the top down and gradually increases over the yoke before splitting for the sleeves and body. It’s a really simple way of knitting and I thoroughly recommend it if you’ve never done it before – especially as it limit...

This super squishy blanket uses two colours of Swaddle at a time giving extra warmth and a beautiful marled quality to the colours. Holding the two colours together also means that it knits up nice and quickly which can be handy if there is a new arrival on the way!

This lovely hat is very quick to knit up and creates the pattern of a snowflake at the crown. The colours are stranded so the hat is super cosy with two layers of gorgeously soft wool on your head. You could have great fun with different colour combinations.

These beautiful fair isle hats are made using 3 skeins of Plump DK. They are fun to make and cleverly decrease at the top to produce a snowflake on the crown. You can have lots of fun with the colours. There is plenty of yarn left to make a pompom (although mine is topped with a pompom made from Plump Superchunky)

A beautifully light and warm scarf with fun bobbles. Very simple to make using a mixture of Plump DK and Swaddle.

I do like a bit of slip stitch! I love the fact that you can create fabulously complicated looking colour patterns without any of the faff of stranding. Another rather great thing about this pattern is that the colours are just carried up the side of the project so only a minimal number of ends to sew in!

This is an elegant, long and lightweight scarf. It is made it using Plump DK for the background colour which works well with the soft bobbles. This is contrasted with Swaddle for the stripes which give a more defined texture and zing of colour.

A beautiful, colourful and lightweight scarf.

This simple granny stripe shawl is made a bit more jazzy with the addition of a bobble trim.

If you discover that snow is predicted in the next hour, you have plenty of time to knit this before it settles!

The simplest, quickest, softest scarf you will ever knit!

Made in our new yarn, Podgy, this is simple and very quick to make.

Just one skein of our new yarn, Podgy makes this lovely cowl.

This scarf is the amazingly warm! Made using Plump DK it is crocheted in the round so there is no visible wrong side. This also means it’s double thickness – super cosy! I have to be honest in that my scarf does not look like the chart , more an abstract version of it! Having read around the subject, this is all down to the way I crochet. Depen...

This is a perfect jumper for a frosty winter’s day. It is super soft, sloppy, incredibly warm and rather stylish too! The pattern is simple to do, starting from the top and working down and the colourwork is super easy so if you haven’t tried stranding before you could certainly start here!

Super quick and fun to make this blanket is suitable for a beginner. Perfect to throw on the arm of a sofa or along the end of a bed. The PDF has links to ‘how to make a granny square’ and ‘how to sew granny squares together’ video tutorials.

This lovely blanket is certainly an heirloom piece and would make a fantastic present! The bobbles create a beautiful texture with the added benefit of making the blanket really warm amd cozy. The PDF does give the pattern repeat so is easily up or downsized. if you have never worked popcorns before this is a great starting place.

Warm, stylish, superfast to make… what’s not to like about this wonderful hat?

I love the look that puffs create – they look quite different to other crochet stitches and add a great texture. This lovely hat is a great way to give puffs a try and is simple to do.

A cropped cardigan is my absolute go-to wardrobe staple and is surely one of the most useful things you can make?! This version is super soft and super warm making it even more perfect! I’ve used Fluff (or and kid Mohair) for the button band and neck to make these a less obvious part of the cardy, but you can just follow the same instructions c...

This beautiful scarf is super snuggly and really rather elegant too! The lace pattern is simple to follow and (most importantly I think!) it is easy to spot if you are going wrong at any given point. It knits up super-fast because the yarn is a bit thicker than you would normally use for lace and would make the most wonderful gift.

This beautifully simple chevron blanket is all about the colours. It uses 9 colours of Plump dk and they work beautifully together and will brighten up any room!

A funky combination of the sloppy Joe and boxy jumper with the the addition of a drop shoulder. This jumper is done on even thicker needles (15mm!) than its sisters the Chunky Boxy Jumper and the Sloppy Joe, and because the needles are large it knits up extremely quickly. Unlike the other two jumpers this is not knitted in the round, the front ...

A stunning heirloom blanket, made in our beautifully soft and warm Plump DK. Make it as colourful or as subtle as you want.

This large knitted cowl is as simple to knit as you can get, so if you are a complete beginner then this is for you! The cowl is long enough to twist over your neck and so you get two gorgeous layers of luxury knitwear keeping you warm rather than one.

This is a fun colourwork design that involves absolutely no colour stranding which is always a bonus in my book! The two colours are worked separately, on alternate rows which means you don’t get the double layer of yarn you get with something like fairisle.

This scarf is beautiful and the colour palette works so well with it too. Although it is a lace pattern, it’s not difficult. So that the lace pattern flows down to each end I have worked it in two separate halves., working the second half from the base chain of the first half. A little bit of experience crocheting is all you need to tackle it!

I like the texture of this stitch pattern and think it works particularly well with the coloured yoke. This is made from the top down so no seams!

This beautiful scarf with its curvy sides is worked entirely in a basic double rib. The cables are double rib too which means the scarf is beautiful on both sides which is always a bonus! When using such a thick yarn (or any in fact) I find using a double point needle of the appropriate size makes a good cable needle and saves switching the sti...

A really fun scarf to make and wear. This will cheer you up on those dreary winter days, who doesn`t love a pompom!

This is a very simple pattern consisting of rows of puff stitches. These give a lovely texture when using a super chunky yarn. The smaller cowl uses 2 skeins and sits close to the neck, the medium one in the main photo uses 3 skeins and loops around twice, sitting close to the neck.

A great first project for this fabulous stitch. Not at all difficult, but it does take a little getting used to! You will need to have circular needles to make this lovely scarf because of the way the rows are knitted but other than that it is easy to pick up and makes a beautiful scarf.

Four days before Christmas 2016 I decided to at last get on with the hats I was going to make for my sons and husband. I probably should have started sooner, but as they were all going to use Plump, I got away with it. I used the same basic pattern for three of the hats, but changed the design enough so that they don’t look like they are part o...

This super-soft cowl is long enough to wrap around your neck twice to make it extra cosy!

This lacy scarf is a very simple pattern - just one row in fact that keeps repeating - so it’s super quick to learn even if you don’t have much experience of crochet. So that the pattern drops to each end I have worked one half and then worked the second half from the base chain of the first half.

This is a very simple pattern for a basic double knit beanie hat. I’ve used two colours striping evenly up the hat, but you can obviously just do this in one colour, or add more! The pattern has instructions for knitting flat, or in the round, whichever you prefer.
