Chinese waves pattern looks really intricate but is easy...

My husband is obsessed with Citroen cars, so a hat with their iconic chevrons built using simple cable stitches was a perfect present to keep his head warm while he is out in the garage restoring his fleet. The hat uses about 75 gramms of Chunky (USA bulky) yarn and is knit in the round with 5.5mm (USA size 9) needles.

This scarf was born when I bought 2 different sets of bargain sale yarn. I wanted something that looked impressive, but was easy to knit in front of my favourite box sets. I started with the concept of equally spaced rows of holes (the periodic perforations) and then built some different blocks around that.

When a friend lost her furry companion she asked me to make her a woolly version… so this fleecy, fluffy shaggy dog was created. Worked mostly in Robin Fleece Chunky yarn he is wonderfully soft and squidgy, with extra fluffy ears and tail. He also has optional smart outfit for going out and a Santa suit ready for Christmas. the pattern includes...

My Darling Husband gets cold ears out in his garage and since he spends most of his free time in there this is a problem. I made him one of the popular hats with ear flaps on Ravelry. This did a great job of keeping his ears warm, but, to put it politely, made him look distinctly peculiar. I was horrified to find him wearing it in the front gar...

These bunny cushions were designed for two rabbit mad grown ups in my family. They can also be used as pyjama cases.

We bought a clay ‘Pointy Penguin’ on a holiday in France- and fell in love with the shape and the shrugging shoulders look. Last year he adorned out handmade xmas cards and bunting and this year he made an appearance as a winter teacosy.

This bag was designed for my marvellous Mother in Law to carry her knitting in. The classic knitting bag shape is achieved by using ribbing stitch top, bottom and sides, with a simple basket weave pattern for the body.

As we started to move into spring I wanted a reasonably lightweight cowl that was smart enough for work but also good for the weekend. I love doing spontaneous cables, just starting at the bottom and deciding where they want to go as I go along… so this is the result with wavy edges and entwining cables.

My sister is ‘infinitely busy’, finishing a degree, holding down two jobs and looking after hubby and two kids. I designed this cosy infinity cowl to keep her warm as she bustles about. This scarf has a honeycomb pattern for such a busy bee and ribbing, as she holds everything together so well.

Having already made some knitted Christmas cards I couldn’t resist having a garland/ banner to match. You can mix and match penguins and owls… with hats and scarves to make your own personal design.

My friend’s little girl loves owls, and she loves ballet, so obviously ‘ballet owl’ was born as a birthday present. The different sizes are due to using different weights of wool double knit for the brown owl and 4 ply for the beige one. You can make your owls and the outfit any colours you like.

I think knitted Christmas cards are super cute. With this pattern you can mix and match different birds.. penguin, owl and robin… with sweaters hats and scarves to make lot of completely unique cards. I’ve been making a family of 7 to give out for our ‘girls’ Christmas get together this year.

My hubby spends a LOT of time out in the garage with his fleet of derelict cars. As Autumn started to come in he complained of being chilly, so I created the Chilly Garage Spanner Hat to combat the problem

This scarf was designed as a present for my friend’s 4 year old, who loves all sorts of bugs and creepy crawlies. I wanted something to keep him cosy on the way to school. The spiders have spooky eyes and legs on the front and a fluffy behind too.
