Stylish and Fun Knitting Patterns
I loved the ribbed pattern on Tar-Sgàil Socks so much that I couldn’t resist using it for mitts as well! The design is similar to Aisneach Mitts with the ribbed columns wrapping around the side of the hand, but also look great if you swap the mitts over and show more of the pattern on […]
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 […]

When I set out to design this shawl, I knew I wanted to use two colours, but I didn’t really want to do stripes or something I’d done before. So I thought about it for a while and landed on something I’d never done before – mosaic knitting! Looking through my books for ideas, I […]
Sometimes I start working on a design with the complete vision of what I want to make in my head. This was not one of those times. I had a general idea. I wanted socks. I wanted an all over pattern. I wanted something light and summery, and preferably something that looked good with speckles! […]
This shawl is the epitome of “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again”. I absolutely loved the idea for this shawl when I came up with it. A curved asymmetrical triangular shawl with a lace pattern that grew proportionately as the shawl grew. It was fantastic. All I needed was the right lace […]
When I started working on this design I wasn’t really sure what to do, but I knew I wanted to do something I hadn’t done with a sock before. I went through my books and I found this gorgeous twisted rib pattern! I made a few tweaks, changed a couple of decreases and adapted it […]
It was a cold day back in January when I started working on this design so wintery weather was definitely on my mind! When I was looking for the perfect lace for a new cowlette I rediscovered this little arrow lace which has been a favourite of mine for a long time! I decided to […]
My fourth elemental pattern is here and the set is complete! Uisge, or water, joins Talamh (earth), Adhar (air) and Teine (fire). Four pairs of mitts with different patterns running up the outside of the hand. I love these patterns and it was such a fun way to try out different patterns! You can get […]
I’m starting off 2023 with my third elemental mitt – Fire! Isn’t this lace pattern pretty? I picked it because it looks a little like a candle flame! After the first two patterns, designing this one was a breeze! My biggest challenge was making the choice of lace pattern to use. In the end this […]
