Knitting: Coat / Jacket
This is an updated version of a shawl collar jacket I first designed back in 2010 in Mirasol Book 13. The original didn’t have buttonholes. So if you prefer to knit this jacket closer to the original then omit the buttonhole row in this pattern.
Knitting: Mittens
These mittens had been playing around in my head for a while before they finally made it onto the needles – like a lot of my designs. A beautiful new yarn had just come into the Purl &Jane Yarn Family and I knew it would be perfect to turn this idea into reality rather than just a dream. The Darnie 4 ply yarn is spun in Donegal and is such ...
Knitting: Vest
The Max Waistcoat was a design I had in mind for a long time before it finally made it onto my needles. And once it did, I shared the whole knitting journey the Purl &Jane Instagram Stories — you can still follow along in the Highlights if you’d like to see how it came together!
Knitting: Ankle Sock
I designed these socks while I was working on the Max Waistcoat. As I was knitting the back of the waistcoat, the idea for these socks just popped into my head – so I put the waistcoat to one side and followed the urge for a quick, satisfying knit. And that’s how the Pluto Socks were born!
Knitting: Vest
The Hilarie Tank Top features one of my favourite stitch patterns – I do love a garter stitch rib in all its variations! This design strikes the perfect balance between mindful knitting and relaxing knitting – one row to concentrate on, followed by a pure knit row where you can just switch off and enjoy the rhythm of the stitches.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I admire fairisle patterns. I feel they are beautiful and having recently visited Shetland and Fair Isle I hope to design more fairisle patterns. I love simple and easy to knit patterns and traditional fairisle definitely fits that criteria. If you read that and thought, eh, they don’t look easy and simple, once upon a time I agreed with you bu...
Knitting: Vest
The Sandhills Tank Top is knitted from the bottom up and in the round – so there are no side seams and no stitches to pick up. Sometimes, I just love an easy project where I can sit back, relax and let the soothing rhythm of the stitches do all the work.
Knitting: Vest
This is a super easy to knit waistcoat because it doesn’t have any stitches to pick up. It a knit and go sort of waistcoat!
Knitting: Pullover
This design was one from a book I designed in 2008. It was a book of men’s design and was very well received. I’ve been wanting to update the patterns from that book for a few years now, to make them available to UK and European knitters too (as the book was only available in the US) as well as do a single digital pdf download.
Knitting: Pullover
The Clacton Jumper was the very first ever Purl &Jane top-down jumper. As with all my patterns, it’s simple, easy to follow, and the perfect starting point for your top-down knitting journey.
Knitting: Vest
The Emmen Tank Top features my favourite type of colourwork – it looks intricate but is incredibly simple and easy to knit. If you can knit and purl, you can knit this tank top. I love this pattern so much that I am tempted just to say, “I love it, and I hope you knit it and love it too!” – but I’ll try to be a little more descriptive!
Knitting: Pullover
This is another Purl &Jane first, it’s the first pattern almost entirely designed in the round. It is knitted from the bottom up, in the round, until the stitch pattern at the top of the garment. The knitter will then divide back and fronts and work in rows on these. The neck and sleeves are then worked in the round. The sleeves are picked ...
Knitting: Pullover
This jumper is knitted in pieces and is a super easy pattern to sit and relax with because the back is just basically a square. This jumper is based on another jumper that I designed about 20 years ago and was a beloved classic. However, as it sometimes happens with yarn, the yarn I chose to design the original jumper was discontinued so I thou...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This pattern has instructions for three different yarn weights, 4 ply, dk and aran.
Knitting: Ankle Sock
This is the perfect “My First Fairisle Sock” pattern – a gentle step into colourwork for sock knitters. Like all my patterns, I’ve worked hard to make it as simple and clear as possible, so you can just enjoy the rhythm of the stitches without any worry. I do the hard work so you don’t have to!
Knitting: Pullover
I love designing simple, easy-to-knit patterns that might look complicated to beginners, but are actually anything but. And for experienced knitters? These patterns act as a gentle refresher between more technical projects — the kind of knitting you can relax into, switch off and simply enjoy.
Knitting: Vest
The Bray Tank Top was born from a request by knitters who wanted to try knitting in the round for the first time. They were looking for a simple, easy-to-follow pattern to build confidence with this technique – and here it is!
Knitting: Vest
This design uses my favourite colour work technique, the slip stitch (or some of you might know it as mosaic) I love it so much as it is so easy to create a fairisle look but without the need to swap shades along the round.
Knitting: Cardigan
This cardigan is designed to be oversized – and because of that, it’s cropped. Cropping it helps balance out the roomy fit, giving you that lovely oversized feel without being swamped.
Knitting: Vest
This is inspired by classic cables yet, as I do with all my designs, I worked on several swatches to make this an easy to knit cable. One, where once you were familiar with the repeats, you may sit and relax with it knowing when to cable and when to do your knits and purls. I love to design cable patterns that all have the same row repeat in th...
Knitting: Cardigan
This cardigan was born from a knitter’s request—they loved the Higgins Cardigan which I designed for children and wanted an adult version. So, ta-dah! Here it is!
Knitting: Cardigan
I love designing simple, easy to knit patterns that might look complicated to the beginner but are very easy to knit. And for the experienced knitter? I like to create simple patterns as refreshers in-between complicated patterns or mindless knitting, to sit with and relax and switch off.
Knitting: Vest
This pattern has been much requested recently by knitters visiting the Skipton Studio – a classic crew neck version to join the Purl &Jane rib family. It’s another simple, timeless design inspired by vintage patterns. Can you spot the subtle details that connect all the patterns in the rib family?
Knitting: Vest
It’s always a challenge to put into words just how much I love a design, but this one is truly special. The Heaton Tank Top features a classic ‘Jane Ellison’ stitch pattern – one of my absolute favourites! I adore this rib pattern, and it works beautifully in this simple, timeless tank top.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I love designing simple, easy to knit patterns that might look complicated to the beginner but are very easy to knit. And for the experienced knitter? I like to create simple patterns as refreshers in-between complicated patterns or mindless knitting, to sit with and relax and switch off.
Knitting: Vest
The Bradley Tank Top is a simple colourwork design that looks more complicated than it really is – perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters. It uses the slip stitch technique, which means you’re only ever knitting with one colour at a time, making the brick-like pattern surprisingly easy to create.
Knitting: Ankle Sock
Yarn & Amounts: 2(3) 25g balls of Jamieson’s Spindrift (100% Shetland Wool), 25g, 105m/437yds in shade A and
Knitting: Vest
Since I designed this pattern, it’s become a firm favourite with knitters. It’s easy to knit, easy to wear, and (most importantly) a joy to make. That’s always my aim – simple knits that feel good when they’re on the needles and even better when they’re finished.
Knitting: Cardigan
This simple garter stitch raglan cardigan is full of those tiny details that make it just a little bit different. It’s knitted all in one piece up to the armholes, so there are no side seams to sew – a lovely feature if you’re after a straightforward knit. However, knitting in one piece can sometimes lack the structure that seams provide, so I’...
Knitting: Ankle Sock
These socks are knitted on double pointed needles. There is advice in the pattern as to how to make the sock fit your foot length.
Knitting: Ankle Sock
The pattern is written for double pointed needles. It fits all sized feet and there is advice in the pattern how to adjust the length to your desired amount.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This hat is knitted on straight needles and uses my favourite stitch pattern for self- striping yarns. It is my favourite because it is so simple to knit, one of the rows is just purl yet by doing the increases and decreases you create the chevron look and you don’t have to change colours because the yarn does that for you! Perfect relaxing kni...
Knitting: Cowl
I love creating easy to knit designs. I love combining yarns of beautiful quality with the simplest of stitches to create truly unique items that are a joy to knit.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
The Emmen Aran Hat was created in response to a request from a knitter who was making the Emmen Jumper and loved the stitch pattern so much that she wanted a matching hat. So, I designed the Emmen Hat for her – and of course for everyone else who enjoys knitting the Emmen Jumper!
Knitting: Cardigan
The Baby Clayton Cardigan uses the same stitch pattern as the adult Clayton Vest. I love this stitch detail – and I also love moss stitch! When I mention moss stitch in the studio, the reaction is always one of two extremes: “Oh yes, I love it too!” or “Do you? I don’t!” – never anything in between!
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I love the rib I used on this baby hat – it’s so delicate, just like a baby! The Baby Shelby Hat is knitted flat in 4 ply weight yarn, making it beautifully light and soft. And when knitted in natural fibres, it helps keep baby at just the right temperature.
Knitting: Pullover
The Baby Shelby Jumper is inspired by my love of vintage knitting patterns. I often read old patterns not just for the designs, but for the stories I imagine behind them – patterns passed down through generations, shared among family and friends as they knit together, learning and teaching as they go.
Knitting: Vest
The Bempton Tank Top features the same stitch pattern as the Bempton Jumper and Bempton Mittens – which started life as a mystery retreat project! I’ve always loved a cable, but I wanted to add more detail than just a twist, so I incorporated a moss stitch panel. The result is a textured pattern that looks more complicated than it is.
Knitting: Vest
One of the things I love about designing is making knitters’ dreams a reality - designing the patterns they ask for when they pop into the Purl &Jane Skipton studio. And there have been a few requests for a top like today’s pattern, the Clayton Vest Top. However, I have to admit, this one is pure indulgence for me. It is everything I love ...
Knitting: Ankle Sock
Yarn & Amounts: One (two) 50g hanks of Purl & Jane Cuckoo Cashmere 4 ply (80% Merino wool & 20% Cashmere, 200m/218yds per 50g).
Knitting: Scarf
The Lily Scarf was one of my most-loved patterns when I launched it at Yarndale in 2019. In fact, it was so popular that I sold out by lunchtime on Saturday! Thankfully, my wonderful local printers saved the day, delivering more copies that afternoon – only for me to nearly sell out again by the end of the weekend!
Knitting: Vest
This waistcoat began, like many of my designs, with a knitter’s wish. A new knitter popped into the Skipton Studio and told me they’d love to knit a garment but felt a bit nervous about where to begin. As we chatted, we came up with the idea for this very waistcoat – and the Matilda Waistcoat was born.
Knitting: Pillow / Cushion
This is a lovely cushion to give to the one you love or for yourself to know that love is always around you. It is great for learning to follow a chart, whether that is using different stitches or using the intarsia technique with colour changes.
Knitting: Coat / Jacket
This is a great easy knit cardigan – perfect for beginners or for those looking for a quick and satisfying project. There are no stitches to pick up for the edges, as they’re knitted as you go, which makes this an ideal “first cardigan” pattern. Or maybe it’s one of those “I love that yarn shade and need a cardigan to match” kind of projects!
Knitting: Coat / Jacket
This design has a few siblings! I created this hoodie for the same reason that I do many of my patterns…because knitters asked me to! Introducing the hooded version of the Kyle Jumper.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Like all of my patterns, these instructions are simple and easy to follow - making it easy to get addicted!
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Like all of my patterns, these instructions are simple and easy to follow - making it easy to get addicted!
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Like all of my patterns, these instructions are simple and easy to follow - making it easy to get addicted!
Knitting: Cowl
You will need one 50g ball each of Knoll Soft Donegal yarn in shade A and shade B for this pattern.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I like writing simple, easy to follow patterns and this one is just that - I designed it for my Learn To Knit class so it’s perfect for beginners. It is also great for experienced knitters as a quick knit between projects, or even just as a weekend project. One experienced knitter even told me that she knitted it in an evening!
Knitting: Sleeveless Top
The Nora Sleeveless Gansay was first published in 2018 and holds a special place in the Purl &Jane collection as the very first garment knitted in the round.
Knitting: Pullover
I designed this sweater for a beginner or for a lazy experienced knitter like me! I love to have a project that I can just sit down and switch off with. Perhaps because I am always designing when I knit so always thinking that I crave for a project where I can enjoy the simple process of knitting one stitch.
Knitting: Cardigan
This baby cardigan was a joy to design. Inspired by a blurry picture of Princess Charlotte’s cardigan as a toddler, I used it as a creative spark rather than an exact reference – playing with stitches and details to bring my own vision to life.
Knitting: Pullover
This jumper is inspired by my love of vintage patterns. My favourite era is the 1930s and 1940s. I hope this jumper visually shows that influence but the written pattern isn’t inspired by that era! They were very vague and only had one size. I like writing simple easy to knit patterns that you can just relax with, this is true of this pattern. ...
Knitting: Scarf, Beanie, Toque
This is one of those classic sets I find myself reaching for again and again. The Jordan Hat is a simple, timeless beanie – easy to knit, lovely to wear and the perfect project whether you’re just learning how to knit in the round or want a relaxing weekend knit.
Knitting: Cardigan
This crew-neck cardigan is a firm favourite in my Skipton studio, and it’s easy to see why! Designed to suit baby boys and girls alike, it features my favourite rib stitch – a stitch I first created for the Caspian Hat and have since used in several other designs. I love it so much, I know I’ll keep using it again and again!
Knitting: Cardigan
This simple garter stitch cardigan is perfect for new knitters or those returning to knitting who want a straightforward, easy project. The body is made up of squares and rectangles, with just a little shaping at the neckline to give it a polished look.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
This is a lovely pattern for beginners who want to explore what knit and purl stitches can do. Each square features a heart made using simple purl stitches within the knit stitches – it’s gentle, rhythmic and so satisfying to watch the design appear.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I designed this hat after knitters asked for an adult version of the Clapdale Baby Hat from my Knitted With Love book. So, I named it Clapham, after the village in the Clapdale Valley – just up the road from my Skipton studio!
Crochet: Baby Blanket
The Aimsir Blanket is a simple, comforting project inspired by the classic granny square – but with a twist. I played around with the structure to create a more solid square, making it cosy, practical and perfect for wrapping up in.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
I could get so addicted to knitting this blanket! There’s something deeply comforting about a simple square – it’s the kind of project you can pick up and knit in an evening or over a weekend (depending on how much time you can dedicate to yourself and your knitting). And each square gives you that little sense of achievement… the best kind of ...
Knitting: Pullover
I designed this jumper as a sloppy joe, perfect for throwing on while rushing around on an autumn day or snuggling up on the sofa in winter. It’s one of those knits that just feels right every time you wear it.
Knitting: Scarf
The Dóchas Scarf is a simple garter stitch design with a delicate little detail at the edge that makes it truly special. Although it’s knitted “straight up”, the increases and decreases in the pattern create a subtle triangular shape – so much fun to knit! Many knitters visiting the Purl &Jane Studio assume the edging is added afterward, bu...
Knitting: Pullover
I love designing simple, easy to knit patterns that might look complicated to the beginner but are very easy to knit. And for the experienced knitter? I like to create simple patterns as refreshers in-between complicated patterns or mindless knitting, to sit with and relax and switch off.
Knitting: Ankle Sock, Mid-calf Socks
There’s nothing cuter than tiny baby feet – so delicate, so small. And there’s nothing more special than a hand-knitted gift to welcome a new arrival. These socks are personal, thoughtful and completely unique – just like baby.
Crochet: Cowl
I’ve taken the simple granny square and used 3 shades of Soft Donegal to create a super soft cowl.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I love this stitch! I call it the Trinity stitch but it goes by other names such as blackberry or popcorn.
Knitting: Cowl
I love this stitch. It’s one I’ve used many times over the years on hats, scarves and garments.
Knitting: Cardigan
The Dakota Cardigan was inspired by my love of street style and vintage patterns – two things I’ve always been drawn to, from my days at fashion college to now. The trend for boyfriend cardigans caught my eye, and knitters visiting my Skipton studio were asking for a simple V-neck cardigan that worked for both men and women.
Knitting: Cardigan
The Charlotte Cardigan is the cousin of my Fiona Cardigan design. It came to life after a few lovely knitters visited my Skipton studio and asked for a version of Fiona Cardigan with a V-neck instead. Some also requested a longer length – so here it is!
Knitting: Pullover
This jumper might look complicated, but is, in fact, super simple to knit! I’m so addicted to this pattern that I’ve used the technique in other designs too.
Knitting: Pullover
This jumper was designed with love – and it shows! I wanted to create a joyful pattern that was simple to knit and gave maximum cuteness for the effort. The heart motif is knitted into the front of the jumper and adds that perfect little “aww” factor, whether you’re knitting it as a gift or for your own little one.
Knitting: Pullover
This simple design is inspired by vintage patterns. It is a classic crew knit jumper, another request for knitters that visit my Skipton Studio. I love using stitches to create shape as we all have different body shapes and my knitted garments are magical – I design them so they fit your unique shape perfectly. All you need to do is get the cor...
Knitting: Pillow / Cushion
This pattern is written to make one square and the blanket can be as big or as small as you want it to be.
Knitting: Scarf
This scarf uses my favourite cable stitch with garter stitch edges.
Knitting: Pullover
The Fiona Jumper is inspired by my Fiona Cardigan, a Purl &Jane classic that has been loved and knitted by so many. It was one of the first designs I created for my Skipton studio, and over the years, it has become a go-to cardigan in knitters’ wardrobes.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
The Frankie Mittens were born from conversations with knitters who wanted to try working with double-pointed needles but weren’t quite ready to tackle sock heels. These mittens provide the perfect opportunity to practise the technique in a fun and rewarding way.
Knitting: Mittens
These simple mittens are knitted on double pointed needles so the only seam to sew up is on the thumb. If you haven’t knitted mittens before or used dpns (see my video link below for advice on them) these are the perfect mittens to start with. And when you’ve knitted them you will feel so happy of your new skills! As always I am here to help. F...
Knitting: Scarf
You can knit with scarf in any weight yarn, I wrote the pattern for dk yarn and chunky yarn to show the sizes differences but you need about 250m in any weight to knit the scarf.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
You’ll need half of your 100g hank of WYS Bluefaced Leicester Aran (Yarn A)
Knitting: Cowl
My design ideas and advice: This is a great quick and simple knit, a great project for beginners or a quick weekend project for experienced knitters who need a moment or two of pure simple stitches. I made it a bit different by using two strands of of aran weight yarn together. I like the effect when using a natural with a bright shade however ...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This hat is knitted in the round, so you will need 4mm dpns for the top of the hat.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
The Beck Beanie is the perfect beginner-friendly hat, ideal for learning how to knit and purl in the row. With simple crown shaping, it’s a great way to build your skills while creating something practical and stylish.
Knitting: Pillow / Cushion
A simple garter stitch cushion that is great for beginners or experienced knitters that want a quick weekend project to relax and calm the mind and body with.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
The yarn amount suggestion is if you are knitting for a UK size 4-5 foot but there is a place in the pattern to knit for a longer or shorter length foot. This would then mean you will need more or less yarn than stated.
Knitting: Pillow / Cushion
Additional materials needed are three large buttons and two medium buttons.
Knitting: Pillow / Cushion
This cushion uses five 50g balls of Kilcarra Tweed.
Knitting: Scarf, Cowl
My design ideas and advice: I love the stitch I used on this hat. It is so simple and so calming to knit, once you get used to the repeat. It is an easier take on the classic fisherman’s rib. I wear my Rice Rib Cowl every winter, it is great for keeping you lovely and warm. It always amazes me how warm you can feel just by wearing a scarf aroun...
Knitting: Pullover
The Brockabank Jumper combines two of my favourite things – a garter stitch rib and a cable plait. I love this cable and try to use it wherever I can! The rib is another good one because it gives you a row off – there’s a knit row where you can just relax. And with the cable, you get the same effect on the wrong side row, where you don’t need t...
Knitting: Baby Blanket
One of the lovely things about this blanket is that it’s made up of individual squares – so you get that little burst of satisfaction every time you finish one. I like to stack them into neat piles as I go; they look beautiful and it’s a great way to see your progress building.
Knitting: Cardigan
This simple, short-sleeved cardigan is knitted a little differently to reduce the amount of sewing up. You begin at the left front, then knit the right front before joining the pieces together to work down the back. The only seams to sew are the sleeves and sides – no picking up stitches required!
Knitting: Pullover
The Crag Jumper is a perfect example of how a simple cable can be both striking and exciting to knit. In this design, I’ve used two of my favourite cable patterns – one I call the honeycomb (I’m not sure if that’s its ‘official’ name, but it always makes me think of bees and honey), and the other is the cable plait.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
I love this little sock. They are knitted in dk yarn so perfect for keeping tiny toes warm under wellies – whether they’re jumping in puddles or playing in the snow. There’s something magical about this design: the cast-on amount will fit most children up to around 5 years old.
Knitting: Pullover
The Danny Brow Jumper is a simple striped design that truly puts the jump in jumper! The textured ridges seem to bounce up and down, just like I imagine the young wearer does – jumping through piles of crisp autumn leaves.
Knitting: Pullover
I love this rib pattern – it’s one of those stitches that’s beautifully simple yet looks incredibly effective. The texture adds a lovely depth to the jumper, making it a timeless knit that’s both stylish and practical.
Knitting: Cardigan
This classic cardigan is designed to keep your little one warm, cosy and comfortable – but it’s also designed with you, the knitter, in mind! The gentle rhythm of garter stitch makes for a wonderfully soothing and relaxing knit, perfect for winding down with.
Crochet: Throw
This is a learn to crochet starter pattern for a granny square.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This hat is knitted in my favourite stitch and simply shaped into a classic baby hat. I originally designed it for new knitters ready to move on from squares or scarves – it’s ideal for practising new skills. The pattern is worked straight for most of the way, and then you’ll learn how to decrease over the final few rows.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
I design all my blankets so they don’t have a ‘wrong side’. That way, whether you or your little one are wrapped up in it, it doesn’t matter which side is showing – both look equally lovely.
Knitting: Coat / Jacket
The Hazle Jacket can be knitted with or without a hood.
Knitting: Pullover
This design was inspired by a childhood memory of fishermen’s clothing – specifically modern smocks. With that in mind, I played around with simple yet effective stitch details to create a timeless look that’s also a joy to knit.
Knitting: Pullover
The Lenny Jumper is a cosy little polo-neck jumper, perfect for beginners.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
The chevron stitch pattern is one of my favourites because I love how this simple two row pattern, combined with a striped pattern, creates this amazing zig zag. It epitomises everything I love about knitting. Simple stitch, simple stripe, simply beautiful. You might find a few other of my patterns that use this stitch!
Knitting: Baby Blanket
This pattern has two versions, a dk version and an aran version of the blanket.
Knitting: Coat / Jacket
Yarn & Amounts: 3(4:4:5:5) 100g hanks of WYS Bluefaced Leicester Aran (100% British Bluefaced Leicester Wool, 166m/182yds per 100g).
Knitting: Pullover
This lovely jumper uses very simple rib and cable patterns, but the design makes them look more complicated than they really are. This is one of the best things about knitting: simple stitches used in simple patterns can create beautiful effects.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I designed this hat based on one from my own childhood – a cabled hat my mother knitted for me when I was a baby. There are photos of me wearing it… and then a few years later, my younger sister wearing the very same hat.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This fab scarf is great for adding delicate detail to your outfit as well as keeping you feeling lovely and snuggly warm. Its a little bit tricky so you might need to concentrate for the first few repeats until you get used to the increases and repeats. Once you do, it is a breeze!
Knitting: Placemat, Coaster
I love this stitch. It is so simple to knit but looks very tricky. It lends itself perfectly to placemats and coasters.
Knitting: Pullover
This jumper is a great jumper for beginners or those coming back to knitting after 30 or 40 years away. There is minimal shaping and intact there isn’t any on the back so perfect to get used to those stitches and needles without thinking of doing anything else. I enjoy knitting garter stitch. At the end of a really busy day when I’ve been rushi...
Knitting: Coat / Jacket
This simple garter stitch jacket is a brilliant project for new knitters or anyone returning to knitting and looking for an easy, comforting make. Why? Because the back is just a square. That’s it – a square!
Knitting: Pillow / Cushion
I love the simplicity of this stitch and the effect it creates.
Knitting: Cardigan
I adore this cardigan, and I’m not the only one! Since I published it in 2013, it has become a firm favourite with knitters. I’ve seen it knitted in so many different yarns and shades –there’s even one knitter (that I know of!) who has made it five times for herself and three times for her sister!
Knitting: Cowl
This cowl uses super chunky yarn, is super easy to knit and super easy to wear!
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
As the mornings turn chilly from Autumn to Winter it’s tricky to know how cold it is out when the sun is shining.
Knitting: Cardigan
The Fiona Cardigan is a simple, timeless crew neck cardigan that has become a Purl &Jane classic. It was one of the first designs I created for my Skipton studio, and it’s been a joy to see it become a wardrobe staple for so many knitters.
Knitting: Pillow / Cushion
This cushion is such fun to knit as it looks a lot more complicated than it is!
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This delicate lace hat is the perfect gift for the new loved one in the family.
Knitting: Booties
These simple baby bootees are the perfect handmade gift for a brand new bundle of joy! Soft, sweet and full of love, they’re ideal for new knitters or anyone returning to knitting after a break. The pattern is straightforward and gentle – just like the bootees themselves.
Knitting: Pillow / Cushion

Knitting: Scarf
This skinny scarf is perfect for any outfit and with the smallest size using just one ball of double knit yarn is great for using up any odd balls.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This shawl is very simple yet very effective. It starts off small and grows and grows.
Knitting: Scarf
I designed this scarf before I opened the Purl &Jane studio for a pattern book. I had tried other variations before I settle on this stitch pattern and ever since I have been addicted to it. It wasn’t until two years after I designed the Spencer Scarf that I opened the studio and the joy of that is seeing all your Spencer Scarf creations. T...
Knitting: Throw
Same basic pattern as Love Hearts Blanket for the Girl, in different colors and without the flowers.
