Storm Cowl

This time last year I released matching hat (Claiseach) and fingerless mitts (Dromanach) patterns. This year I’ve designed a matching cowl! This was exactly the pattern I needed to start the year with. It’s relaxing, it’s a super quick knit and it was easy to write! Pleuch combines two garter stitch columns with twisted rib edges and lots of stocking stitch in one deliciously textured pattern.

Knit in DK yarn, pleuch tapers from the bottom to the top so you have a lovely snug cowl around your face to keep out the wind, while it’s still easy and comfortable to wear around your shoulders. I knit mine in Eden Cottage Yarns Brimham DK, which is a beautifully soft and bouncy yarn. This colourway is called Pollen and it’s got the most beautiful golden flecks running through it!

I’ll be releasing a matching sock pattern this summer, so you can keep warm from head to toes! Keep an eye out for it in August!

You can get 25% off Pleuch with the code PloughSale until 11.59 pm (GMT) on the 1st March 2022. The pattern is also on LoveCrafts and Etsy!

Rings of Colour

I have had this idea for ages, for a striped cowl with a colourwork pattern at the join between the stripes. So long in fact that I picked up this yarn as a “spare” advent calendar at the end of the year. The yarn came as a gradient from white, through pink, to purple, to

I love knitting brioche. Once you get into the rhythm it’s a really relaxing process! I know the idea of knitting brioche can seem intimidating but the process is really simple, especially in this pattern. There’s only one colour, no brioche increases or decreases. It’s just a yarn over, slipped stitch and a knit stitch.

Fingerless mitts are always one of my favourite things to design and knit. The limited amount of space on the hand is a fun challenge and I love coming up with different ways to use the space! If you’ve been here for a while you’ll know that I started designing mitts with twisted rib and

I had a lot of fun with this design. The name of the yarn colour was what sent me off  down this fun rabbit hole. I grew up near Aberdeen – the Granite City as a kid, and lived and worked there as an adult so as you can imagine it’s very close to my
