DK or worsted cotton yarn:

The pattern is written to make a 25cm (10”) inner diameter / 35cm (14”) outer diameter cloth from worsted weight cotton yarn. The pattern can easily be used as a recipe for other yarn weights and cloth sizes, as once the set-up is done the cloth is made from just two easily-remembered rows. Just cast off once you’re near the end of the ball.

We’ve all bought lovely hand-painted yarn that looks so appealing in the skein, but then what to knit with it? It’s a yarn that needs a plain texture – lace and cables will just get lost in the colours – and yet it needs something that’s a bit fancy and not too simple. This pattern is inspired by such a yarn purchase! Koigu Painter’s Palette Pr...

When my girls were little they would always stop to smell (and sometimes pick!) the flowers in the gardens we passed. So thinking of my girls as toddlers often makes me think of our walks and how long it took to get anywhere – and the flowers.

These horns were quickly invented when my daughter needed a Halloween costume, for tomorrow. They only took a few hours to knit up. They measure 10cm/4” high and 13cm/5” around.

So in his honour I’ll be donating 50% of the sales of this pattern to Angel Babies Foundation, an Australian charity which provides coun...
