We are Sandra (Agasalhos e Bugalhos) and Norah (Fox & Folk) and we have exciting news to share with you!

As you may have already noticed we have been busy, and it has been a dream come true to have the opportunity to create a something new together!

This is a collection in progress that it will grow with time and with us… side by side with our other projects.

For months we let our ideas and concepts grow in our minds, and hearts. We never rushed the creative process, never stressed about a deadline because we didn’t have one.

We went with the flow of the days, and our lives, navigating through motherhood, conciliating our family needs with our projects, knowing that we would always wait for each other no matter what. This is a sum of affections, a celebration of our friendship, and the respect and admiration we have for each other.

A creative symbiosis where we are free to explore our own ideas, be ourselves…supported by each other.

And this is just the beginning…the first chapter of a beautiful story we want to write together…and with you!
Our hearts will guide us, setting up the rhythm for each new design we create and finding joy in all the things in between, cherishing each moment and each other.

This will be a journey to remember and we want to invite you to join us!

The first two projects in this open collection are this pattern, the Serrana Kids Sweater and its
sister pattern the Mighty Oak cardigan, by Norah.

You can find the Mighty Oak Cardigan pattern,
and other works by her here.
You can find us both on Instagram as well at @agasalhosebugalhos & @foxandfolk

Learn how to knit the Serrana Kids Sweater with this beginner friendly knitting pattern.
The pdf tutorial has lots of photos, step by step instructions and a few video tutorials to help you through your project.

This sweater is knitted from the top down, in the round, with raglan increases.
We use a colourwork technique called Mosaic, in which we only work with one colour
on each round, creating the colour pattern by slipping stitches.
This is an incredible colourwork method, perfect for beginners, creating an intricate pattern that is so easy to knit basically by knitting and slipping stitches.

There is a second file with round by round charts for each size with stitch counts and
detailed information for each round.

This piece was designed to be gender neutral and it has a positive ease, so it can fit most children.
Please confirm the finished measurements of the piece before you start knitting.
