This collection will contain 5 patterns - 1 garment and 4 accessories. The patterns will be released, one by one, in early March and added to the ebook.

The Loch Mhor Sweater was conceived after a long evening chatting by the fire in the garden, wondering what the warmest possible garment would be. This lead to a cross between the all over stranded colour work motifs found in Shetland designs, but worked on a super scale in bulky yarn.

Raddery is a light and airy shawl, using double yarn overs to create space and structure in both the body and border.

Whether you prefer juicy greens or delicious golden shades, a tonal hat makes for a satisfying colourwork snack. Slices of classic motifs pile up to give just the right amount of slouch, all topped off with a perfect pomme. John Arbon’s Appledore yarn is a perfect choice: crisp and woolly, with a shade selection as rich as the apple varieties t...

A pared-down palette, geometric motifs and a boxy silhouette make for thoroughly modern colourwork. Wilkhaven is inspired by traditional Shetland knitwear, but takes it in a fresh direction with simpler patterning, visible selvage and the up-to-date shorter length. 

Stitchill Shawl gives you all the fun of graphic colourwork without the hassle of intarsia. Three colours repeat in a tightening rhythm across modular strips, all coming together in a diamond lace edging. 

Cabled waves ripple across the surface of this generously sized cowl, suggesting the fresh beauty of the loch it’s named for. The angled seam adds dramatic interest and a softly spreading shape. Lustrous BFL/silk from The Wool Kitchen makes for a fluid, glowing fabric to wrap you in comfort after a swim - or any other time.

Fyrish’s rippling waves of colour flow as far as you let them. This unusual narrow shawl (or is it a wide scarf?) tucks neatly under your coat, but can be puffed up to make a beautiful statement just at the neck. Or you could knit a longer version for a dramatic wrap.

Lace, stripes, garter stitch and short rows add up to the very best of all worlds in this generously sized three-colour wrap with plenty of knitterly interest. Despite the modular effect, it’s worked strip by strip with minimal ends to weave in.

Canisp is an adventure in unorthodox construction, with the deceptively simple striped front revealing itself on a closer look to be anything but ordinary.

Tarradale Hat

Classic chevrons crackle with unexpected energy in this asymmetric shawl. Short rows and strategic decreases allow each stripe to widen out, from a leading point on one side to a jagged edge on the other, adding up to a perfectly balanced and perfectly irresistible pile of colour.

Resolis mittens are just what you need for a winter walk by the beach. Using just three mini-skeins of Shetland DK from Black Isle Yarns and a simple 4 stitch colour work motif, these striking mittens are quick to knit and will keep your fingers toasty warm whatever the weather.

Rhidorroch is a gently slouchy hat, topped by a generous pom pom. It uses a slip stitch pattern in textured stripes to highlight the beautiful colours of the naturally dyed yarn. The sheep from this flock spend the winter near Inverness, at Coulmore, but the hat is named after their summer home on the west coast of Scotland.

Striking corrugated rib accentuates chevrons inspired by an elaborate stonework arch. The distinctive star- shaped crown, formed with differing decrease rates, is shown off in a simple beanie style hat with just a little slouch.

Is winter your favourite time for a stroll on the beach? Eathie captures that stark palette - the black of dried seaweed, the cream of seafoam and the steel grey of the sea - to wrap the ocean’s peace around you. Starting from a single point, gentle waves and lacy chevrons spread out like the vast horizon.

Simple knitting doesn’t have to be boring. Callakillie makes use of meditative linen stitch to create graduated colour changes and a supple, non-curling fabric. Worked in the round and then steeked (forming a hassle-free fringe), it’s a perfect mindless project as well as a perfect classic addition to your wardrobe.

Trondra is named for a small island on the west coast of Shetland, and was my morning view for the week we were staying there.

Roisinis is named after a deserted village on the Scottish island of Eriskay. It’s an amazingly atmospheric place, with ruined houses, wild weather, beautiful beaches and curious sheep. I knit this hat while on holiday there, and it would be perfect to wear in different ways to suit the island’s ever changing weather.

So, it’s coming up to spring time in Scotland. The weather here is never predictable, but at this time of year there can be snow and blizzards one day and then warm sunshine the next.

Torness is worked flat and then seamed at right angles to create a wide warm cowl. It is the perfect pattern to make the most of one or two skeins of luxury lace weight yarn.

This lovely stole is a play on gauge, by creating space between stitches using yarn overs. The results create a flowing curve through the sections of mesh lace and stocking stitch. The graphic simplicity of the lace pattern would make an ideal canvas for showcasing variegated yarns.

I designed this shawl for my new sister-in-law, Laura, to wear to her wedding. The lace pattern is inspired by falling leaves, worked on a garter stitch background for some textural contrast.

I designed this shawl for my sister to wear to her wedding. We decided on the crescent shape as being both pretty and versatile, with a plain centre and a lacy border. I have always been drawn to the lovely nupps and gathered stitches of Estonian lace knitting, and this is my homage to those traditional patterns.

Cawdor is inspired by autumn when the last of the bilberries and the first of the mushrooms signal the end of summer. As the the trees turn, thoughts wander to cosy evenings by the fire or frosty walks kicking piles of leaves. This jumper, comfortable but also flattering, is just as at ease doing whatever you do to beat those winter blues.

This unisex hat, inspired by the landscape of the Scottish Highlands, is perfect for keeping out the chill on a long walk in the hills.

This pretty lacy cardigan was inspired by the traditional Shetland Hap Shawls, with their plain garter centres and brightly coloured feather and fan edging. While shawls are lovely, I don’t wear them nearly as often as I should, so I created a cardigan version. It is a versatile garment, perfect for fighting that winter office chill or thrown o...

This simple bias square blanket was designed as a wedding present for a very good friend. It needed to be simple and graphic while fitting with the sophisticated neutral theme in her sitting room. I also wanted it to be completely reversible. It is generously sized to keep two people warm on the sofa.
