Tiny Tulips Slippers – easy knitting pattern for summer socks

Summer calls for simple, enjoyable knitting projects that work up quickly with lighter yarns. A pair of knitted slippers in a lacy stitch is perfect for this season. Today, I’m excited to share my new “no‑show socks” design — the Tiny Tulips Slippers.

Light, airy, and beautifully feminine, the Tiny Tulips slippers are the perfect warm‑weather accessory for anyone who loves handmade comfort. Worked in a delicate lacy stitch, these slippers feature a perfectly shaped round heel, decorative diagonal lines along the sole, and a smooth stocking‑stitch band that hugs the ankle without feeling tight.

Designed to be breathable and lightweight, they’re ideal as summer house shoes or “no‑show” socks inside trainers and flats. The pattern includes sizes from child to adult large, with adjustable foot length so you can customise the fit for any wearer.

A full video tutorial is included, guiding you through every step of the construction — perfect for confident beginners and experienced knitters alike.

Knitting pattern for Tiny Tulips Slippers is available from Ravelry and Etsy.

Garden Picnic Top — A New Knitting Pattern Inspired by Sunshine, Texture, and Slow Days Outdoors

 

There is something magical about classic silhouettes paired with textured stitches - a kind of timeless comfort that feels both familiar and fresh. Inspired by that love, I’ve designed a new knitted top that captures the feeling of slow, cosy afternoons outside: the Garden Picnic Top.

To see some behind the scene photos and video tutorials follow me on Instagram and subscribe to YouTube channel. 

The main feature of this design is the basket stitch front. Its geometric texture instantly brings to mind those peaceful garden moments - a glass of refreshing juice, a favourite snack, flowers all around, and the kind of sunshine that makes everything feel softer.

During the photo shoot, I tried to create that exact mood. Ironically, despite the bright sunshine, it was freezing - I only have taken my coat off for a few minutes to get the shots. The things we do for knitting.

To balance the textured front, the back and sleeves are worked in smooth stockinette stitch, giving the top a clean, classic look. The edges are finished with simple ribbing, keeping everything neat and wearable.

One of my favourite things about this design is its flexibility. You can easily adjust the length - crop it for a modern silhouette or knit it longer for a more relaxed, traditional fit. It’s a pattern that adapts to your style rather than the other way around.

For my sample, I used a 5‑ply (sport weight) cotton yarn in a soft light grey. The stitch definition is lovely, and the cotton gives it a crisp, summery feel.

But honestly, this top is incredibly versatile. It would look beautiful in: wool for warmth and bounce, silk for drape and sheen, acrylic for easy care or any blend that speaks to your wardrobe and your knitting preferences. The basket stitch texture shines no matter the fibre.

The Garden Picnic Top is easy to follow, even if you’ve newer knitted a garment. I’ve included a video tutorial for setting in the sleeves, so you can knit with confidence from cast-on to finishing.

You can find the pattern on Ravelry and Lovecrafts.

Stolen knitting patterns and scammers on Facebook

It happened again — my Winterberry Bucket Hat knitting pattern was stolen, widely advertised, and sold on FB without my permission. It’s very frustrating and heart-breaking. Those people even paid for SIX (!) ads campaigns!

To share the full story and my experience with this situation, I've recorded a video for my YouTube Channel

In the video, I shared my experience with a stolen knitting pattern that was advertised on Facebook and sold on unauthorized websites. I explained why fake pattern sellers are a problem for knitters — stolen patterns are often altered, incomplete, missing key information, and sometimes sold for a higher price than the original. I also share tips on how to recognise fake knitting pages, scam ads, and how to make sure you are buying patterns from the real designer.

Knitted Bucket Hat for children and adults - Winterberry Bucket hat

There’s something magical about winter evenings spent with yarn in hand. For me, the season is always about knitting warm, cosy garments and accessories that feel like a hug against the cold. And when a new hat design comes to life on my needles, the process becomes even more special.

This year, I’m thrilled to introduce my latest creation: the Winterberry Bucket Hat — a playful, versatile design for both children and adults.

Inspiration Behind the Hat

The Winterberry Bucket Hat is a love letter to two of my past favourites: the Trimetry Bucket Hat and the Winterberry Earflap Hat. I borrowed the clean, modern shape of Trimetry and paired it with the textured stitches from Winterberry. The result? A stylish yet practical bucket hat that adapts to your mood, the weather, or even your outfit of the day.

Three Ways to Wear It

One of my favourite things about this design is its versatility. You can style it in at least three different ways:

- Top-hat style: Fold the brim up all the way around for a quirky, elevated look.

- Fedora style: Keep the brim down at the front and fold it up at the back for a chic twist.

- Classic bucket style: Let the brim fall naturally for a cosy, windproof option — perfect for blustery winter walks.

Knitting Details

The hat is knitted seamlessly in Aran-weight yarn, combining simple cables with ribbing panels that give it structure and character. The brim is worked with two strands held together, making it sturdy enough to shape while keeping ears snug and warm.

For my sample, I used Drops Nepal, one of my go-to yarns for cable knitting. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a strand of lace-weight mohair — it will make the hat even warmer and give it that extra touch of luxury.

Pattern Information

The Winterberry Bucket Hat pattern is written for sizes ranging from baby to adult L. It comes with detailed row-by-row instructions and charts, so whether you’re a confident beginner or a seasoned knitter, you’ll find it easy to follow.

 Have you ever struggled with neckband finishing? Maybe your neckband turned out too narrow or too wide, the stitches around the neckline looked untidy, or it was tricky to spread the stitches evenly? What seems like a simple step can cause so many little frustrations!

Over the years, I’ve developed my own set of tricks and techniques to avoid these common issues - not only for neckbands, but also for other ribbed edges like sleeve cuffs and cardigan bands.

I’ve shared them all in a new video on my YouTube channel: “Perfect Neckline Every Time – Knitting Mistakes & Fixes.”

In the video I covered the following mistakes:

-          Loose pick up stitches for neckband

-          Pick up ratio for front and back

-          Narrow neckline and bind off problem

-          Wide neck opening

-          Loose gauge for ribbing

I also shared my tricks which would help you fix those and many other mistakes as well as showed how to knit the neck band correctly.

I hope you’ll find some tips in there that make your knitting easier and your finishing even neater. ✨

Beginner Knitting Pattern for child sweater - Quiet Season Sweater

 

I’m so excited to share my new children design—the Quiet Season Sweater, a perfect companion for this fall and beyond. This sweater is a comfortable and timeless piece, worked seamlessly from the top down. Featuring a European shoulder construction, it has a relaxed silhouette with plenty of positive ease (6–15 cm / 2⅜–6"), dropped shoulders, and a classic round neck.

The body is knitted in soothing stockinette, while the cuffs, neck, and hem are framed with a garter stitch rib. Longer cuffs and hem bands add a modern twist to its classic lines. Knitting begins at the top of the back with shoulder shaping; then stitches are picked up for the front before the body and sleeves are worked in the round.

The design is versatile and easy to adapt. By shortening the hem ribbing, the Quiet Season Sweater can be styled for boys, and it’s just as easy to add stripes in a contrast shade for extra personality. Body and sleeve lengths are simple to adjust, making it a truly universal piece.

The sample is knit in a soft DK alpaca-silk blend in a delicate light beige, but it will look beautiful in any yarn that gives you the drape and warmth you love.

The Quiet Season Sweater is a design that quietly blends comfort, simplicity, and elegance—the kind of sweater you’ll reach for again and again.

👉 Ready to cast on your own? Knitting pattern for Quiet Season Sweater is written for sizes from  18-24 months to 15-16 years. Pattern is available from Ravelry and Lovecrafts.
