The original swatchless hat pattern: a double-layered beanie with 4-point crown shaping. The multi-gauge pattern now includes 9 gauges, for yarn weights between light fingering and DK, and 6 sizes.
Have a single skein of yarn you’re not sure what to do with? Need something simple to keep your hands busy during zoom meetings? Looking for a gift that everyone will appreciate? Want to cast on right away without any prep? Cast on today, no swatching required, and discover for yourself why so many knitters have fallen in love with Musselburgh.
In what is essentially a three step project you’ll start with a centre-out cast-on and increase for the first crown; the next part is a beautifully meditative knit (perfect for those zoom calls!) of stockinette in the round; finally, you will finish off the hat by mirroring the initial shaping with decreases. This simple canvas is perfect for exploring your creativity through yarn choice, stripes or colour blocking. The hat is fully reversible, so working each half in a different colour or stripe sequence can turn it into two completely different hats in one.
We used two skeins of Fluorite Dyed in the Wool. I picked two skeins that were very different and Deidre knit every last inch of the skeins.
I’m afraid to take the hat home because I think Beth will want it. And then she is going to want Deirdre to knit her more in different colours.
Tin Can Knits released a new pattern at the end of 2024 called Vest Friends (pattern purchased on Ravelry). I started a post talking about the vest and then totally forgot to publish it.
As we’ve turned 40 we love revisiting the styles of our youth. This look is perfect on stage with your indie rock band, or paired with your perfect high waisted jeans. Enjoy a little blast from the past!
Meet the Sundial Wrap - a new pattern from Wool & Pine. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.
Stashbusters, here’s your next project! Sundial Wrap is designed to turn your treasured mini skeins, advent sets, handspun and colorful scraps into a stunning, wearable textile. With stripes that only need 14 grams of fingering weight yarn, Sundial makes it easy to mix, match, and play with color in a way that feels both intentional and joyfully improvised.
This wrap features mosaic knitting—an easy colorwork technique using only knits and slipped stitches (no purls at all!). Each row is worked with one color at a time, creating a beautifully interlocked design that looks far more intricate than it is. Whether you’re reaching for bold brights, subtle neutrals, or a mix of both, Sundial’s rhythmic pattern lets your colors shine.
Simple stitches, endless possibilities, and an addictively fun rhythm—Sundial Wrap is ready for your stash to take center stage.
Design Details
Sundial Wrap uses the 2-color garter mosaic technique, knit flat on the bias for a dynamic diagonal drape. Crisp i-cord edges frame the design, ensuring a polished finish. Instructions are included to easily customize the width and length of your wrap, making it adaptable to your style and yarn supply.
The pattern also includes clear instructions on when and how to change colors, so you can confidently let your yarn shine without second-guessing your choices.
Add tassels for a chic finishing touch or keep it sleek and simple—the choice is yours!
Over the Christmas holidays we sold a lot of Addi FlexiFlips. Mr. UPS brought a restock today and the website has been updated. We also received a few colours of Crazy Zauberball.
Diana finished a sample for the store and it is beautiful.
