I’ve been bitten by the hat making bug. For years I’ve made shawls/cardigans/socks/sweaters - anything but hats, really. And now suddenly I can’t stop. I’ve even set about designing one. But it’s not ready, because the thing about hats…
Usually Autumn is brief here, but this year has been strangely warm, and so at the beginning of November, when I would expect there not to be a single leaf left anywhere, I found myself with the chance to photograph a new design outside.
Light and drapey, versatile and cosy - the Seaglass Shawl has it all. As fun to make as it is to wear, the main body of this triangular shawl works up quickly in easy TC filet stitch. It then moves into a section of beautiful, colourful mixed stitches, and is finished off with a delicate picot edge. And... there are kits!

Is it a shrug, a capelet, or a bolero? Meet Betty, my latest 1950s-inspired pattern for Crochet Now.
Floss feels light as feather yet gives incredible warmth - the perfect antidote to winter’s heavy layers.This scarf was designed to use up small leftovers of beautiful alpaca silk and mohair yarn. It combines them into a captivating stitch pattern - a bit of lace, some mindless panels of dc, ombre-effect colour changes using linen stitch - to ensure Floss is as fun to make as it is lovely to wear.
Bretonbone is a practical, modern layering piece inspired by the classic Breton top. It works up quickly and suits lots of different fibres - cotton for summer, cotton+merino for mid-season, alpaca or wool for winter. This pattern includes options for both DK and aran weight yarns. Available in sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL)
Window into Winter is a modern, geometric shawl design which takes inspiration from the stark lines, dark skies and glistening snows of the Swedish winters. However, it is just as a much a view out of winter, too: The contrasting border mimics the shape and colour of the winter aconite, a cheerful little yellow flower that is the first to appear after the long, cold months.
