Arlet Hat and Mitts - pattern release

Happy knitting everyone! I'm so happy to share my new knitting design created in collaboration with Eden Cottage Yarn - Arlet Hat and Mitts. 

Knitted in beautiful green colour this set combines pretty combo of stitches. The broken rib creates  beautiful textured surface of the fabric while simple cable adds some interest to the design. 

Both accessories are knitted in the round with DK weight yarn. I used Hayton DK in shade Woodland. This beautiful yarn is hand dyied by Victoria from Eden Cottage Yarn in West Yorkshire.

There are two other great substitute options for this set - Bowland DK and Milburn DK

The knitting pattern for Arlet Hat and Mitts is available from Ravelry and Lovecrafts

Also, in 2019 I have designed Arlet Vest which is knitted with the same yarn in the same shade. You can find the pattern for vest on Raverly and Lovecrafts too.

To celebrate the pattern release I'd like to offer 10% off on both patterns. To get the discount please use code ARLET10 at the checkout on Ravelry.

Pattern release - E-motion mitts

I have got a request from some of my lovely customers to design a pair of finger-less mitts for children which can be worn with ponchos to keep the little hands warm and cosy. After some experimenting with designs and stitches I designed my E-motion mitts.

These mitts are simple enough to knit but they are really comfortable and cozy to wear.  I decided to make them with some positive fit around arm so they can be worn on the top of light weight sweater for extra warmth and comfort. To keep the mitts in place I added a twisted rib around wrist. To make the knitting more fun and enjoyable I’ve added a textured edge on both sides.

For this project I used Superwash DK yarn from SweetGeorgia in shade Birch.

Also, I couldn’t resist to make a pair of mitts for myself too. For my pair I used undyed yarn Laxtons Blueface Masham Marble DK  The mitts look gorgeous with my new Bloksy shawl, knitting pattern for which is coming soon.

Knitting pattern for E-motion mitts is written for both children and adults and it is available from Ravelry and LoveCrafts.

Knitting pattern for Emotion poncho is also available from Ravelry, Etsy and LoveCrafts

For some inspiration, you can also check the project pages of my lovely test knitters. I really love how they play with colours to customise they mitts.

SweetGeorgia yarn is available from LoveCrafts
