Crosshatched

For Socktober this year, I wanted to design a sock that would be great for everyone. I wanted a pattern that was gender neutral and something with a bit of ribbing so gifted socks would get a great fit – even if you aren’t quite sure about their size! 

I found this crisscrossed pattern done on a stockinette background, but I looked at it and thought it would make a fantastic rib pattern! It’s a super easy pattern to remember so you can focus on the sock without having to check the chart constantly. They’re a perfect relaxing project!

You can get 25% off Tar-Sgàil Socks with the code CrossedSale until 11.59 pm (UTC) on the 10th of October 2023. The pattern is also on LoveCrafts and Etsy!

When I knit my Tar-Sgàil Socks and Mitts last year, I knew it was going to be the perfect pattern to turn into a hat and cowl set later – and I was right! This gorgeous textured rib pattern is really lush in DK yarn and has enough definition to stand up to moderately patterned

When I knit Whitterick, I knew almost immediately that I wanted to turn the whole thing into a shawl as well. The texture and the drape are so beautiful that I wanted something I could really wrap myself in! I of course, made it with Lottie Knits Aglow DK. It may be my favourite DK

Burnished Copper

For my latest pair of fingerless mitts I really wanted to play with twisted rib again. I also really wanted to make another pair similar to Dealas with a textured pattern across the back of the hand. So I combined the two ideas and we got Coppersmith! It’s a really fun pattern and once you’re
