New Pattern Launch: The Websley Cowl

August 19, 2026

Today is the turn of the Websley Cowl, a lovely light and airy lacy cowl that is cool to knit but warm to wear. The Websley Cowl combines striking lace patterns that create a scalloped edge as they work on the bias, and a contrast I-cord on both edges to perfectly accentuate this shaping. The lace pattern itself is quick and easy to memorise and so deceptively easy that it makes a surprisingly quick knit; … More New Pattern Launch: The Websley Cowl

New Pattern Release: The Giro Cowl

July 30, 2026

Buddha’s Knot was first published back in 2010 (!) and was withdrawn a while ago now because … More Buddha’s Knot Tea Cosy: A free pattern download

A new, fun, seasonal pattern release: Elf Stockings

November 17, 2021

Today I want to share with you a wonderfully versatile new pattern release for Elf stockings. I don’t actually know any real life Elves but in my imagination they have pointy toes and a penchant for cabled long socks, which makes these stockings just perfect. I hope they’re perfect for you too! The stockings are knit from the top down starting with the fold over ribbed cuffed can be knit flat or seamed or knit … More A new, fun, seasonal pattern release: Elf Stockings
