The knitter’s guide to the galaxy! Four patterns with an innovative shaping for triangular shawlettes: Hitchhiker, Trillian, Magrathea and Lintilla. Their names come from Douglas Adams’ great series of books “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, because the prototype of the first pattern happened to have exactly 42 teeth - and 42 is kind of a magic number in these books. The shawlettes are all based on garter stitch and work especially well with handdyed, variegated fingering-weight yarn.

Make a complete set of matching Hitchhiker scarf, Hitchhat and Hitchhands – all perfect for hand dyed fingering-weight yarns and great fun to knit!

Are you a knitter who takes pride in how neat the reverse side of your project looks? Well, your time has come: This hat is designed to look fabulous on both sides and can be worn inside out – which is a very fashionable thing these days! Also, when using a very special, beautiful sparkly yarn for stranding, the reverse side may actually be the ...

A beautiful shawlette with long ends that can be wrapped comfortably around your neck and secured with a little knot – that’s my new pattern „22 Little Clouds“. Simple, soft stockinette lets the fabric flow, and the tiny ruffle makes it look like a cloud. The two angles on the long ends only have 22.5 degrees (instead of 45 degrees that most kni...

Oh, those colorful Wollmeise skeins that can be real divas when it comes to finding the right pattern! How about this: A soft, stretchy cape-cowl-hybrid that extends right below your shoulders and replaces a scarf beneath your jacket or cardigan. I love that it does not leave any gaps at the neck where the cold wind can sneak in, as scarves usua...

This little neckerchief is the manly version of my Scallo-Pie shawlette pattern: Instead of a scalloped edge, Sharky-Pie features an innovative shark-tooth border that just takes two rows to knit. I provide an instructional video, the link is included in the pattern. You can close the neckerchief by pulling one end through a one-row-buttonhole t...

I love the look of variegated sockyarn, especially Wollmeise, in simple garter stitch. And I love a little something around my neck when it’s cold. So I invented this pretty and practical scarf-shawl-hybrid: It is shaped as a very wide triangle with 22.5-degree-angles at the tips (rather than the usual 45 degrees). It can be wrapped around sever...
