Inspired by Boudica, Queen of the Iceni tribe, who led the Celtic people to revolt against the Roman occupation of Britain in the 1st Century. The mitts are started by knitting the cuff, then picking up sts along the length of the cuff to knit the remainder of the mitts in the round. You will need a cable needle and stitch holder, 3.25mm DPNs, 4mm DPNs and straight 4mm needles. One skein (209m) of Lavenham Blue yarn will knit either size - alternatively the mitts can be knitted in any yarn that knits to standard DK gauge. For more info about this design and Lavenham Blue yarn, read my blog here.

I wrote this pattern in early 2020 when everyone needed a hug, and this is a big shawl to give you a big hug whenever you need it. Somebody said that in knitting there are many traditions but no rules, and in this shawl, I’ve taken some traditional Estonian motifs and stitches, and used them in a non-traditional way, with both the shape of the shawl and the direction of knitting. The shawl is a crescent shape, and is knitted in one piece from the centre top down. The Estonian stitches include nupps and gathered stitches, and the motifs include a leaf pattern and Queen Sylvia’s Lace. The lace stitches are all on the right side, the wrong side is all purl, including purling to complete the nupps and gathered stitches. The shawl can be knit in anything from laceweight to 8ply yarn. Test knitters used both 4ply and laceweight yarn. There is also an option to add an extra layer of lace to enlarge the shawl if you want to and are using a lighter weight yarn. The blocked and relaxed piece as knitted in 8ply measured approximately 54cm deep with a total span of 220cm, but the final size will vary according to your own choice of yarn and needle, as well as your own knitting tension.

Maschenprobe: 26 M x 27 R = 10 x 10 cm in „stranded“ knitting, zweifarbigem Stricken. Maschenprobe bitte unbedingt so stricken, wie auch die Jacke gestrickt wird. Also in Runden wenn gesteekt wird, bzw. flach, wenn in Hin- und Rückreihen gearbeitet werden soll. Die Maschenprobe kann je nachdem stark variieren. Ich benutzte für das Muster Garn in DK-Stärke. Mir ist aber bewusst, dass ich sehr eng stricke. Es kann natürlich dünneres Garn verwendet werden, das Erreichen der Maschenprobe ist allerdings essentiell! Verbrauch für Musterjacke in Größe 36/38: Farbe 1: Lana Grossa Alta Moda Super Baby fine (ca. 310 g) Farbe 2: Katia Basic Merino Flash (180 g) Rundstricknadel in Stärke 4,0 mm (bzw. die Stärke, die zum Erreichen der Maschenprobe benötigt wird), Rundstricknadel in Stärke 3,5 mm (bzw. eine halbe Nadelstärke kleiner), evtl. Nadelspiele in beiden Stärken für die Ärmel, 2 Maschenmarkierer zum Markieren der seitlichen Abnahmen Die Jacke wird in Runden von unten nach oben gestrickt und nach Fertigstellung mit der Steek-Methode aufgeschnitten. Man kann aber auch in Reihen arbeiten und die Maschen für den Steek weglassen. Für den Körper wird nur nach Chart gearbeitet. Man sollte sich also mit dem Lesen und Arbeiten nach Chart wohlfühlen. Nicht enthalten sind Erklärungen darüber: wie ein Steek gesichert und geschnitten wird wie 2-farbig gestickt wird wie ein Reißverschluss eingesetzt wird wie die verschiedenen Strickteile zusammen genäht werden.
Wet Splice (aka Spit Splice) is a simple alternative to weaving in ends when you're knitting. No spitting required!
The lattice cable-and-eyelet motif featured on this asymmetrical shawl is combined with a simple 2x2 rib, and the results are stunning. We love this piece in pale Jupiter, but can see it in creamy Cygnus, dramatic Mars, or steel-blue Mercury. Euclid strikes a gorgeous balance between softness and structure.

The Aegis Cowl is a charming cable-y addition to the cowl repertoire. It is a quick, super wearable garment topper featuring an intensely cabled front section ornamented with beads that are strung onto the yarn before you cast on. The pattern includes instructions for matching cuffs. "Aegis" refers to an ancient protective shield that was worn by Athena, among others. In ancient Greece, it is often depicted as bearing a serpent-haired image. I think cables might represent a slightly more civilized version. I hope wearing your Aegis will empower you! Cuffs require an additional 130 yards above stated yardage.

*ENGLISH WRITTEN KNITTING PATTERN * ◊ Ever wanted a cute little racoon? Maybe not the real thing - but as near to as possible? ◊ Well here she is - one to hand-knit for yourself. ◊ Each finished knitted racoon is approx. 12 inches long (head to bottom, so not including the tail) ◊ My racoon is knitted flat on two straight needles but joined as you go - if you're familiar with my patterns, you'll know what I mean! There are simple short rows and small amounts of seaming which you work on as you build up to the final construction. - I just think it makes for an interesting knit. ◊ P.S I give yarn recommendations too if you want to make yours similar to mine, for this little racoon I've used kid-silk yarn with DK alpaca which results in a texture that’s supremely and gloriously soft! ◊ ALSO - here's where I buy the eyes - Etsy and EBay ◊ AND I've a page full of comprehensive 'how to make up' images ◊ PLUS a link to a HOW-TO VIDEO which is all about the sewing-up/ joining as you go ◊ Want to see more knitted animal patterns? Take a peek in my shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DotpebblesKnits ◊ And finally - for more of my ideas - of which there are endless (I'm ashamed to say!! - I seriously never stop knitting) - please drop by my Instagram gallery @dotpebbles_knits

This top-down crescent shaped shawl combines Estonian lace stitches with intertwining cables to produce an eye-catching shawl a little different from the rest. Intertwining cables and eyelets depict butterflies, while nupp flowers interspersed through the twisting cable motif reflect a pretty garden cascading over a trellis. A picot bind off adds a dramatic flourish at the bottom edge – the perfect end to this beautiful accessory. No row is repeated, so you are never bored and the edges grow dramatically due to the extra increases. The Southern Blue is a species of New Zealand butterfly common to the Canterbury region, and it sports a similar blue-grey colour scheme to this beautiful shawl. Knit in Zealana Kiwi Fingering, it gives a little more substance than a laceweight shawl, but fortunately Zealana produce this lovely blue-grey colour in Kiwi Laceweight as well, should you wish to knit something more ethereal in appearance.
