Deliciously soft, warm and thick, this reversible blanket or throw will keep you cosy on long winter evenings. With an intricate interlocking pattern of varying motifs and an i-cord edge, it is double-knitted in smooth Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. The pattern includes instructions and tips for the double-knitting technique and charts for the c...
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
These classic socks with a cabled diamond motif and a reinforced oeil de perdrix heel are luxurious, classic and cosy. Knit them in any sock yarn, in small, medium or large.
Knitting: Doll, Doll Clothes - Other
Meet Iris, Rose, Daisy and Marigold. These four little blossoms, standing at 30 cm (12 inches) tall, are knitted in one piece, which means little hands can’t pull off any arms or legs. They have a full wardrobe, including shoes, hats and a shoulder bag, also knitted in one piece. They even have their own little friend.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
Thick, warm, soft and cosy, this reversible cot blanket is double-knitted in one piece in 4 ply wool. The pattern of vertical and horizontal stripes creates a basket-weave effect and you could fill the nine central squares with any image you can think of (it need not be the hearts and flowers I’ve used here).
Knitting: Throw
This easy-to-knit, incredibly flexible pattern allows you to create a custom-made reversible colourful blanket for someone you love or a forthcoming arrival. Choose your own colours, pictures, messages and size!
Knitting: Messenger Bag
This colourful, double-knitted, self-lined shoulder bag is inspired by folk art. There’s plenty of scope here for different colour schemes and yarn types – with a bag like this, exact tension matching is not required. My version holds A4 pages and magazines.
Knitting: Pillow / Cushion
Four cushions, one to celebrate each season. These colourful cushions are made using a combination of single and double knitting with intarsia joins, so there’s plenty to keep seasoned knitters occupied. But a beginner could start slowly with winter and work their way up to spring. Best of all, there’s no need to sew in the ends!
Knitting: Scarf, Beanie, Toque
A thick, colourful scarf with matching hat in two colourways to remind you that spring is coming. Constructed using the double knitting technique, it has a flowery ‘right’ side and 
a ‘wrong’ side of abstract shapes and stripes.
Knitting: Scarf, Beanie, Toque
An extra-warm, double-knitted scarf and matching hat in the colours of the rainbow. Try out your double-knitting and stranded techniques and keep those rainclouds away. The scarf is knitted back and forth on two needles, the hat in the round. The tension above is for the scarf. The tension for the hat is 7.5 sts and 8 rounds over 1” (2.54 cm) o...
