Frozen Flower Hat

31.12.15

Happy New Year 2016 to you and your family!!!
Today I’d like to share my last knitted design for 2015 – Frozen Flower Hat.
It is a beautiful beanie knitted with daisy pattern and decorated with large knitted flower. The hat is knitted in the round on circular needles but the flower is knitted back and forth. For this hat I used Aran weight wool yarn from Drops. The hat is knitted with 5 mm knitted needles so it is a quick and easy project for intermediate knitters.

Cloudlet Hat and Scarf Set

13.11.15

Some time ago Cloudborn Fibers offered their new yarn which will be available from 15th November 2015 to create a free pattern for them. I was so excited to try a new yarn so I agreed to do this straight away. A bit later I received a package with 2 x 100g skeins of Fine Highland Worsted Wool yarn in Heather Grey colour.

The yarn is so beautiful, soft and really easy to work with. I really love the colour and its texture. Garments made with this yarn are really warm and comfortable to wear. I decided to design hat and matching scarf set with a cable pattern using this great wool yarn. When I tried different cables I re-knitted my swatch about five times and nothing has happened with the yarn. So I think the set will last for a long time and keep the same shape and look like new for a very long time.
So, please welcome Cloudlet Hat and Scarf set. If you love knitting cables then this pattern for you. This stylish set will keep you away from cold and wind. The set is knitted with nice cable pattern. The hat is knitted in the round with no seam and the scarf is knitted back and forth on needles.

The pattern is available from my pattern stores below:

Temptation set is one of my favorite knitted garments that I made for Sophie. She loves it so much. She has received many compliments and smiles from people around to her new outfit.

Flower Spirits Hat

10.10.15

The weather is still warm and sunny here in the UK so I used my chance to take pictures of my new knitted design - Flower Spirits Hat.

It was a bit difficult to take pictures because the yarn is so bright even in the shadow. My little princess was so actively modeling and changing her positions and faces every moment. But anyway we had a great fun during our photo shoot this morning.

This cozy beanie is knitted with beautiful lace pattern and DK/8-ply weight cotton yarn from Rico Design in bright fuchsia color. I really love this color and quality of this yarn. I have already used it to knit my Papillon bolero this summer. The hat is decorated with a large knitted flower.
