The life has changed dramatically for everyone. The new lifestyle calls for more comfortable and simple garments. Since we've been staying at home most of the time we need more cosy and  pretty garments which we can wear at home or walk around feeling relaxed. So today I'd like to share my latest design - Comfort Formula Poncho.

This comfortable oversized garment is knitted with English rib in Aran weight yarn. The design features large armholes, dropped shoulders and long neck.

Front and back of poncho are knitted back and forth on straight needles and the neck is knitted in the round.

The length of poncho can be easily adjusted by knitting more/less rows after increasing section.

Both ponchos are knitted with Drops Nepal from Garnstudio. Any other Aran or Worsted weight yarn can be used instead.

Lace Chain Hat - pattern release

While the spring is already here the weather is still cold enough for a new pretty lacy hat! So today I'd like to share my latest knitting hat design - Lace Chain Hat.

Knitted with DK weight yarn and circular needles the hat can be completed just in a few days. There are a few different stitches and techniques are used in the pattern. Knitting starts with irregular ribbing, neat three stitches bobbles then continue with pretty heart shaped lace and finishes with fancy cables. You won't be bored knitting this hat. 

Also, the hat is knitted in the round which means no need to spend extra time for seaming.

Knitting pattern has row-by-row instructions, charts and photo tutorial for bobbles.

I used beautiful Hayton DK yarn in shade Fresh Leaves. It is lovely hand dyed yarn from local dyer Eden Cottage Yarn. If you haven't knitted with this yarn yet, I highly recommend to try it out.

It is available with 10% discount on Ravelry until 9th of March. Just use code LACE10 to get your discount.
