Stylish and Fun Knitting Patterns
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 […]
I have loved this lace pattern for a long time. The original is in the book with the two sets of leaves facing each other across a central spine. As well as being pretty wide, the stitch count of the pattern varies over the pattern repeat. This makes it hard to use in your average […]
Ever since I made Breigichean I’ve been looking for the chance to do more mosaic knitting. I really loved this pattern in particular, so I was on the lookout for ways to use it! So when I was looking for an idea for my June design, this was the perfect place to start! I went […]
I have been looking forward so much to knitting more shortie socks – they’re all the fun parts of knitting socks (toes and heels) with none of the boring bits (the leg!) I knew I wanted something lacy because we’re thinking summery and I added the rib to give the edges a little more stability. […]
For my April pattern I really wanted something that felt like spring. I always look forward to seeing all the trees out my window covered in leaves again, and I knew this cascading leaf pattern was going to be perfect for a cowl. I had a little trouble finding anyone with green yarn in stock, […]
This release is really exciting for me because, as well as being my first pattern of 2025, it’s also my 100th pattern! For my 100th pattern I wanted to make something that was very me and really shows who I am as a designer. I think Rammage is the perfect pattern for that! Rammage is […]
When I knit my Tar-Sgàil Socks and Mitts last year, I knew it was going to be the perfect pattern to turn into a hat and cowl set later – and I was right! This gorgeous textured rib pattern is really lush in DK yarn and has enough definition to stand up to moderately patterned […]
When I knit Whitterick, I knew almost immediately that I wanted to turn the whole thing into a shawl as well. The texture and the drape are so beautiful that I wanted something I could really wrap myself in! I of course, made it with Lottie Knits Aglow DK. It may be my favourite DK […]
For my latest pair of fingerless mitts I really wanted to play with twisted rib again. I also really wanted to make another pair similar to Dealas with a textured pattern across the back of the hand. So I combined the two ideas and we got Coppersmith! It’s a really fun pattern and once you’re […]
It has been so long since my last shawl pattern! The last was Breigichean on 17th August 2023 so just a few days short of a year. I hope you’re looking forward to this as much as I have! I fell in love with this gorgeous little arrow lace a long time ago but I’ve […]
