Until Sunday, 28th of April:

Create a deeper front neck (4-5cm) without any short rows - perfect for stripes!

“Südwest” (south-west) was the name of my parents’ first bigger boat, way back in the 60s (with a similar color as this poncho-sweater). In Germany, a wind from south-western direction often brings along rain and storms, but also mild temperatures in winter..

15% off this new and all my older patterns, until Sunday evenning.

This is the shawl for the Mondschaf Adventskalender 2022.

“Moin” is a common greeting in Northern Germany – although it sounds a bit like “Good morning”, you can use it all day long if you meet people.

“Laila”, the thicker version of my “Lale” design, is a relaxed, loose-fitting sweater with drop shoulders and a stripe pattern.

Introduction offer: 15% off until Sunday, 25th of September 2022 - no coupon code needed.

Summer days and nights … with light and darkness.

Introduction offer: 15% off over the long weekend in Germany, i.e. to Sunday 29th, midnight. No coupon code needed! Applies to all my other designs as well.

The “Schwan” (German for swan) is a sweater in Half Brioche with slanted lines on the lower body which are continued to shape the V front neck. The fronts’ shoulder pieces are worked even over the shoulders and joined to the back, which is ended early with short rows, so the back neck is V-shaped, too.

“Matjes” (a traditional food from Northern Germany made of young herring) is a hybrid between an oversized, one-size-fits-all vest/ cape (or even a big shrug) and a cardigan with ½ sleeves. You can throw it over quickly on chilly mornings.

Introduction offer, only today (December 30th): Buy “Iced Cloud” and get a 2nd pattern for free - with coupon code “Iced_2_for_1”.

“Rainbird” is a sweater with ¾ dolman sleeves and lace inserts in triangle shape at front and back neck and the sidelines. It is recommended to use a drapey blend with a bit of linen, hemp or silk – or maybe even a yarn combination with Silk Mohair?

This shawl combines an interesting stitch pattern (which is not as complicated as it appears) with a color sequence, or rather two: First, the rose shades fade out on a very light turquoise background, and in the second half, the turquoise/ teal shades fade in on a very light rose/ sand background. This keeps the shawl interesting to work, alth...

This easy summer shirt/ tunic is worked top-down, beginning with separate saddle shoulders pieces from which stitches are picked up. The small stripes in 5 contrast colors (the “dinghies” sailing in the water) are worked on the body only, sparing the sleeves.

The “Spica Moon” shawl has the shape of a crescent: While decreases at the sides shape the outside, the inside will get its curve from the fact that the 2-colored slip stitch pattern draws the fabric together more than the Garter background.

This spring or summer shirt is worked top-down, with lace inserts on back neck, saddle shoulders and sidelines. The ¾ sleeves and hem are worked completely in Dewdrop lace.

“Spring turns into summer” is a shirt with a spring side and a summer side. Its neckline is shaped the same way for back and front, so you can wear it from both sides, depending on your mood.

“Sea rocks” and “Desert rocks” are 2 cardigans which look quite similar, but are worked in a different way:

15% off introduction offer for “Flocke” (and all my other designs, too) until Sunday, 7th of march 2021, midnight. No coupon code needed.

The “Sand in my shoes” cardigan is dedicated to the memory of all those lovely vacancies spend at the sea – and hoping this will become possible again soon …

This big rectangular big wrap features 6 different textured/ rib patterns which are quite easy to work. It is worked in 8 segments, which makes it an entertaining (but not challeging) knit.

Special offer: Buy yarn in cardigan quantity at Ruppert Garne (see below for yarn ideas) and let the owner subknits know that you are planning to knit this cardigan - then she will provide you a coupon code for a free pattern download.

“Sailorette” is a sailor’s shirt with a feminine touch or two: obviously the lace pattern on shoulders and hem … plus the slightest hint of rosé in the stripes.

“Tideland” is a summer shirt featuring an interesting yoke construction with a built-in rounded neck opening and a slight drop shoulder, underlined by wavy stripes in the colors of the sea. It is shaped by circular decreases on the yoke in combination with wedge increases between underarm and shoulder.

Introduction offer: 15% off until Monday, 3rd of August, midnight, no coupon code needed.

15% off until Sunday June 14th with coupon code “Schafskaelte” (the German word for sheep’s chill, the cold weater we are usually having here around mid June). Applies to all my other designs, too!

Introduction offer until Sunday 17.5.2020, midnight: 15% off (no coupon code needed).

“Sandstorm” is the sister cardigan to Landslide: another open front Half Brioche cardigan in a Sport weight yarn, which makes it suitable for spring and autumn, too.

“Windstorm” is a simple shawl in Half Brioche, with 8 lines of increases/ decreases shaping a wave-like texture.

“Landslide” is an oversized, open-front cardigan with ¾ sleeves featuring diagonal panels on back and fronts. It is quite simple to work – you only need to get familiar with Half Brioche and a handful of simple stitches and techniques all described in this pattern.

15% off on Sunday 26th and Monday 27th without coupon code.

“Shadow on the wall” is a hybrid between a big wrap and a poncho, but also a bit like an oversized cardigan without sleeves, with a back neck slit which will make it sit comfortably on your shoulders. It features big contrast color triangles in Stockinette interrupted by main color Garter ridges.

“Tidal Scarf” – not surprisingly – picks up the idea of my “Tidal Fall” summer shirt from 2018 and transfers the basic idea of the stripe pattern to a scarf, to be worked with 5 colors which blend into each other.

Third time’s a charm, they say – and so I have again re-used some of the ideas of the Spica cowl and the

Enjoy the last sunny days of Autumn with this sweater!

Watch out for the front pleats!

Fenja is one of the two ferries going from Esbjerg to Fanø, my favorite island for spending a relaxed holiday at the Danish seaside. You might already know this from my Fenja cardigan in Sport weight which I have released in 2018.

This is the sweater for the last days of summer, when the weather gets colder, but only a bit …

This is the perfect layering piece for cool summer evenings, to be worn over a sleeveless top or a dress … and the lace/ light fingering yarn is great to work with in summer, too ..

“Seaside Sunrise” is a simple striped shirt. Its stripe sequence has been constructed to look random, but at the same time to use up 6 colors equally (with approx. 200m each), so that it can be worked with minimal leftovers when buying 6 skeins.

15% off until end of Sunday 1st of June with coupon code “Oppenheim”.

FOR ONCE, KEEP IT SIMPLE. And classic. And grey …

This cowl was designed to have a special shape that I love with cowls:

There is a limited number of kits for this shawl available at the Ruppert Garne shop - my own sample and also the 2nd project shown here(in blue/ green /yellow) were made with exactly this combination of yarns!

Gravity of color - now the cardigan!

Buy “Fenja” together with “Fenja Aran” (new separate pattern with 19 sts on 10cm) and get “Fenja Aran” for half price! You only have to put both patterns into the same cart, and the price will be calculated automatically at checkout.

Fog Fall is a simple sweater for all seasons.

Menja is one of the two ferries going from Esbjerg to Fanø, which is my favorite island, not only because of the knitting festival, but also for spending a relaxed holiday at the Danish seaside. For me, the ferry – although it is a practical ship and there is nothing beautiful about it – represents the final step on the way to the island, leavi...

Tidal Fall is a simple summer shirt, suited for beginners or knitters which don’t want to think that much during this hot summer 2018. At least in Germany, we have had temperatures more than 30 degrees Celsius for weeks now, which makes a linen yarn / linen blend sound like a really good idea …

This design comes along in two flavors, for different seasons.

The yarn company of the suggested yarn has recently changed its name: from Regenbogenschaf to SKUDDERIA.

Just the right piece for summer: something colorful & cheerful and an outlook on the Spring & Summer season to come!

The design relies on the beauty of four matching colors to create a gradient, from lightest to darkest color. Trust your favorite hand-dyer to create the perfect combination for you!

The sweater/ tunic is knitted top down, with Raglan increases in the back and yoke increases spread evenly over the rest of the row (I call this construction ‘YoRa’ and I have used it for several designs by now). This way, the rounded front neckline is lower than the back neck, without the use of any short rows.

This is a rather simple name, but after all, I have created a really simple pattern - at last!

For the winter season, I have designed something simple… a light, yet warm layering piece in only one subtle color which goes with everything (or at least a lot) in your wardrobe.

This sweater is a summery piece designed for a sunny day on the beach, bot not too hot, with a bit of wind, maybe at the North Sea or the Baltic sea. Its stripes reminded me of the German Strandkorb: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strandkorb
