Knitting: Cowl
I love cowls! They are warm, easy to make and will not blow off my neck when biking or just taking a walk in my windy hometown.

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This shawl is named after my paternal grandmother Margit. I loved the idea of celebrating her memory by naming the first shawl I ever designed after her. So here it is – Margit the shawl!
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This colour blocked shawl is sure to keep your neck warm and cosy when there is a chill in the air. Pick three of your favourite colours and get started!
Knitting: Ankle Sock
I love wearing ankle socks, slippers or “footies” all year round but especially in the summer. This pair features a stitch pattern that my husband and I have named “the broken mistake”. It originates from the two of us trying to remember how to do a pattern we had both used before. We tried knitting it, but it didn’t turn out right. To our surp...

Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
I originally made these socks as a gift to my amazing mother Inger.
Knitting: Scarf
This reversible scarf features a reversible pattern with cables and moss stitch. The yarn is one of the lightest and softest I have ever touched and is an interesting mix of milk fibres and nylon for strength. If you cannot find this specific yarn, try an aran weight yarn, but remember to check the yardage! If you pick a different yarn, you wil...
Knitting: Cuffs
Catch your pokémon in style and show off your team colours at the same time! This wristlet is worn wrapped around the wrist and can easily be adjusted to fit any size. It will keep your wrist warm and cosy so that you can capture as many pokémon as possible.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
These mitts feature a textured two-colour pattern that was created by mistake. My husband and I was trying to remember how to make a different pattern and started out wrong. But it looked really good, so I ended up designing a pair of mittens based on the mistake. The mitts are stretchy and warm. Perfect for a crisp autumn walk!
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This beanie features a pattern of cables and simple beginner’s lacework. The fit is snug around the brim and a little more oversized over the head to create a nice slouchy effect.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
This is a basic and simple pattern for a pair of fingerless mitts with a thumb gusset. It can be used as it is when you want to show off a gorgeous yarn, or as a basic shape that you embellish with interesting stitch patterns, colour work or anything else that you like.
Knitting: Slippers
Here’s a simple and easily adjustable pattern for a pair of slippers. They are both cosy and fast to knit. I’ve added a simple edging around the ankles that help keep the heels from falling off your feet.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves, Mittens
This pattern is designed to be simple and easy to knit. Ideal for a beginner who would like to try a mitten with gusset for the first time. Instructions include both a fingerless mitts version and a regular mittens version. The beautifully variegated yarn creates an interesting look, but I think the mitts would still look amazing in a solid col...
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
These mitts features a pattern that creates two right-angled triangles (Pythagorean triangles) over the back of the hand, which inspired me to name the pattern after the famous mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras of Samos.
Knitting: Cuffs
This wristband is the first piece of “fan art” that I have created on my own. It is inspired by the umbrella found on the album cover of Connect by Sick Puppies.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
These mitts feature a flower-like pattern, hence the name Viola. They are designed to fit an average woman’s hand, but can easily be adjusted to fit many other sizes.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
This beautiful pair of mitts features a super simple pattern that creates a nice textured effect. The pattern is reversible, so turn your mitts inside out before weaving in ends, and decide which side you prefer (the look of the thumbs will be the only difference) or turn only one mitt and create a “miss-match” pair! Weave in ends on your least...
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
These fingerless mitts are perfect for someone who would like to try cables. The cables are easy and straight-forward.
Knitting: Headband
I designed this headband to match a pair of cabled gloves I had made. The headband is very stretchy so gauge is not very important. The pattern includes instructions for sizes small and large, but it is easy to adjust the pattern to fit other sizes.
