The Trellis set has a cowl and a hat; both very easy and fun to work up. They are knit mostly in stockinette stitch in the round, just with a short section a textured stitch on each of them.

This is a set of 2 patterns; a hat and a cowl, both designed to use with either an advent calendar or scraps and left-overs.

Let’s play with colors! Perhaps you have bought or made a yarny advent calendar, perhaps you have a glorious collection of scraps – in this cardigan you can paint with yarn! I do recommend a calm neutral for the main color; that way, each of the precious yarns get to shine.

The Vesetto Wrap is named after the tiniest little town, that we pass through going to our favorite pizzeria (Da’ Leo – you need to visit, if you’re ever in the Como region!). Clinging to a hilltop, overlooking the Lugano Lake, this small town has all the charm of Northern Italy, and none of the busy hustle.

The Tremezzo Tank is part of the collection I have named after some of my favorite places in Italy. Tremezzo is a beautiful small town on the Como Lake, and home to the Villa Carlotta with the old frescos by the Danish artist, Thorvaldsen, and the amazing gardens.

CDCO 23 is my Christmas Day Cast On for 2023, and the name reflects that I initially was unable to come up with something more poetic. Now I just love the name and all the nice memories of Christmas morning…

The pattern on this year’s advent sweater reminds me of the Hyacinths in my windows. The Hyacinth is our little Christmas reminder, letting us know that the world is turning, and the seasons are changing. The unassuming stems quickly turns into pretty flowers that will fill our space with the smells of spring.

This is the vest I was working on during our 4th Knitathon.

Small Stars is my Christmas Day cast-on for 2022. It was named by one of the amazing knitters from the test team, sweet Sanne, who found that the textured stitches you work for the lice on the body looked like small stars.

Kat no. 3 is the vest I worked on during our third Knitathon. The shoulder construction, where you knit in the round while working increases over a single stitch, is a construction I have used for years when making vests for my grandchildren. This construction makes it very easy to adjust size, you just knit until the shoulders have the desired...

When it’s cold outside, there is nothing better than curling up in a warm sweater – unless of course it’s not quite as cold inside! With a vest you get all the coziness and warmth, without over-heating!

Snowflower Baby is a soft baby blanket with an easy textured slip-stitch pattern. The blanket is shaped with two long ends, so you can swaddle your baby and knot the blanket to keep it tight.

It’s time to cozy up! Let’s keep warm and snuggly – let’s wrap some yak around ourselves.

During our second Knitathon, I was working on this sweater. I was happy that I designed it to be worked top-down, because that allowed me to enjoy the lace section early in the day, and then just work the stockinette body in the round later, half asleep…

The Pool Mitts are close-fitting, light fingerless mitts, perfect for indoors in winter or for outdoors in the transitional seasons.

The Pool Shawl got its name from the subtle rib pattern that I learned at a pool in Dubai.

PLC, the Perfect Little Cardigan, is my suggestion for that very basic cardigan that will go with anything in your wardrobe. I hope it will become your trusted friend, who will always keep you warm and stylish.

I knit all my wonderful memories from a family vacation in Svaneke into the Svaneke Sweater. I put in the waves rolling onto the beach, the herringbone from all the smoked herring we had, the net we weave as a family, my brother’s obsession with birds – even little Victor, my lovely grandson, is found in this sweater.

How to enjoy advent minis - either DK or fingering weight!

Many years ago, I created a Christmas Collection book for myself. I collected all my ideas for Christmas, my favorite patterns and recipes, and all I needed to make Christmas happen. This book is one of the very few things I’d save, if my house was on fire. It makes me so very happy to flip through that book, because it contains the essence of ...

This vest is inspired by the knitted vests my father-in-law used to wear; V-neck vests, buttoned in front. He’d never wear them open, and neither would I – so I make a faux button band, and just attached it after knitting the vest itself in the round (avoiding miles and miles of purling…).

November Rain is a cozy, comfortable sweater; just the kind of sweater you want to move into when winter comes!

Heatwave is a tiny little scarf. Use it over a shirt, under a jacket, with a plain t-shirt, around your head or in your ponytail – or tie it to your bag.

Aurora is a classic raglan sweater with a high turtleneck. It features some beautiful details; the ribbing going down the sides of the body and under the sleeves, and a very flattering shaping of the body.

Bee Beautiful was named by the hand dyer behind the yarn that inspired the top. Henriette (By Kiilerich) named it after the small bees flying up the neck. The yarn is a light alpaca/linen/silk blend; perfect for summer!

Small Stuff er en serie af hyggelige småting: en clutch, en pung og en portemonnæ. De er alle strikket i vævestrik, så de er dejligt vamsede, og du får fornøjelsen af et flerfarvet mønster, selvom du hele vejen igennem kun strikker med én farve ad gangen.

Billy Bob & Rose is a gorgeous couple! Billy Bob has a playful fringe going all the way around the yoke, and Rose has a Selbu Rose on each shoulder. They are both chunky, open-fronted garments, perfect as cardigans in winter and light jackets in the summer.

On the Go is a simple cowl, knit in mosaic knitting to make it warm and cozy. The mosaic knitting gives the cowl a nice three-dimensional structure and allows the fiber to catch the air around your neck to keep you warm. When working in mosaic patterns, you only ever use one color yarn at a time, yet still creating a wonderful two-color pattern.

First Snow is my Christmas Sweater – but it is very much like my other Christmas Sweaters; it is not very Christmas themed and can easily be used all year around. It has a colorwork pattern on the yoke of falling snowflakes and frosty flowers, and it is knit in a luxurious blend of alpaca, silk, and cashmere. It has a wonderful drape and is so ...

Knit With No Name comes in two different versions: a plain stockinette version, and one with a lace pattern on the lower part of the body.

I don’t know why this shawl is called the Texas Shawl. I guess it named itself… but after knitting it, I added a Lone Star to justify the name.

Chicken Knit is my trip down memory lane – back to my early teens, when the Chicken Knit (Hønsestrik) tradition was going strong in Denmark.

The Carlazzo Shawl is a simple triangular shawl with stripes of stockinette, colorwork and lacework. With a wingspan of more than 80 inches, this is a large shawl, but it is light and airy because of the material. It is knit with sock yarn on relatively large needles, which gives it a beautiful drape.

The Crossover Top is a summer/spring top with short sleeves, a relaxed fit with no waist shaping, and a simple, rounded yoke. The increases for the yoke are hidden in the crossed stitches, which also gives beautiful texture and interest to the yoke.
