Verve Hat and Cowl set
Happy knitting! I'm so happy to share my latest knitted design - Verve Hat and Cowl set.
The set is knitted with variegated yarn which is a bit tricky to work with. Some stitches do not look good on this type of yarn. Originally, I wanted to knit a set with simple cables. But cables were almost invisible in this shade. So I've decided to stick to very simple and easy to knit stitch to show the beauty of the yarn
Verve hat and cowl set is perfect pair of accessories for cold autumn/winter days. The cowl is designed to be worn around shoulders over the coat or jacket.
Both hat and cowl are knitted in the round on circular needles in combination of reverse stockinette stitch and vertical rows of slipped stitches. The cowl is decorated with I-cord tie which is inserted into top part of cowl.
This warm and comfortable set is knitted wit multi coloured yarn Malabrigo Washted in shade Archangel.

Arlet Vest
I’m happy to share the result of my recent collaboration with Eden Cottage Yarn. It is local UK yarn company which produce gorgeous hand dyed yarn is small batches. They have got a beautiful selection of yarn for all knitter’s need from lace weight yarn for shawls to chunky yarn for warm and cozy winter knits.
So here is my Arlet vest designed with absolutely beautiful Hayton DK in shade Woodland. This yarn creates perfect drapery fabric which doesn’t change or fade after washing.
I wanted to make a perfect sleeveless vest which can be worn with wide range of clothing as a top layer. I think I’ve reached my goal. I knitted this vest with about 20cm of positive ease which makes it relly comfortable to wear
The design of Arlet vest is simple and elegant. It features dropped shoulders, little insert pocket at front, split hem and longer back. Also, the front of vest is decorated with beautiful cable.
Front and back of vest are knitted separately bottom up starting with broken rib. After front and back are completed and shoulder seams are sewn the stitches are picked up for neck and armholes finishing.

Cable Fantasy Sweater
Cable Fantasy Sweater is another comfortable design for children.
The top down construction with raglan sleeves is perfect for those who love seamless knitting. The knitter is knitted in the round in stockinette stitch with beautiful cable at front, wide sleeves, round bottom line and splits on the hem. The sweater is long enough to keep you little one warm in winter. But thanks to top-down construction the length can be adjusted easily even to a dress.
Cuffs, neck and hems are knitted in ribbing. The sweater is knitted with Aran weight yarn on US8 (5.0 mm) knitting needles. I used Lana Grossa Ascot in shade 004
The knitting pattern is written for wide range of sizes from 3-4 years to 15-16 years. The pattern is available from Etsy, Ravelry and Lovecrafts
