Creating beautiful and versatile knitting patterns for all the family.

Knitting pattern highlights!

Poolside Socks

Knit from the top down and in the round. The cuff starts with a long tail cast-on and a simple 1×1 rib with a contrast stripe for added interest. The heel is of a German Short Row construction and a traditional wedge toe (with matching contrast stripe) is used to complete the sock. The instructions are ‘needle type neutral’ so work whether you are using Magic loop, a small ‘sock’ circular needle or DPN’s.

Garter Squish Beanie

Free Pattern!

Knit seamlessly in the round from the top down using a Pinhole cast on.
The hat mimics the ‘jogless’ garter stitch pattern and slip stitch design which originated with the Garter Squish Jumpers.
Available in a full range of sizes, but the real beauty of the top-down construction is that the beanie can be easily customised both for length and overall circumference! Try on as you go and make it suit you!

Flutterbye Cardigan

Perfectly fluttery for spinning round in circles.
Seamless, top down construction incorporating the i-cord neckline and integrated button bands – no ‘extra’ knitting when it feels like you should be finished!
Raglan construction and lateral braid detail separating the peplum bottom.
Frilled cast off creating a fluttery edge.
