First published in Your Crochet & Knitting, (issue 2, 2018), the Cat Paw Shawl is an asymmetric triangular knit with a knit decrease at the start of every RS and a yarn over at the start of every WS. This pattern remains throughout the knitting but a lace pattern called a cat’s paw is repeated every few stitches. There is a stocking stitch ...

Please note: The shawl pattern will become available on December 1.

This Advent pattern is a triangular shawl full of all the things I love about knitting: colours, lovely yarn, surprises, lace work, cables, textures and edgings that go on for hundreds of stitches.

This scarf pattern uses the new distitch created by Assia Brill. She has a book out called Distitch https://assiabrill.com/knitting-2/distitch/ where she uses her own invented technique to add extra texture. I tried it on a selvedge and loved it so much that I used it on a scarf pattern too.

This cowl uses cable stitches throughout but without needing a cable needle. It’s all simply done through the use of some simple but creative knitting.

I was struggling to find a knitting project that was both mindless and short so that I could handle it during the Covid-19 crisis. I found myself unable to focus on anything that took too long and too much thinking. A friend suggested wrist warmers –perhaps as a joke, I don’t know—but it was like a bell went off and I thought bingo!

As March 29 2019—the original Brexit day—came and left with no resolution as to what would happen, I thought the best way to work out some of my limbo angst was by making a Brexit sock pattern.
