Metro is a fun take on the moquette fabric patterns that were used on buses, trains and tube seating back in the day.
Crocheted in simple extended double crochet stitches, all the detail is in the colour changing sequence.
  
Don’t worry, there’s a sneaky way of adding new colours which means you don’t need to sew in all those ends!
The cowl is worked in a continuous spiral and finished off by adding a full 360° twist to the fabric tube before mattress stitching the two ends together.
  
The pattern and charts are set up for right-handed users. I place my yarn over the hook (not under) as I create stitches throughout this pattern.

Crochet basket pattern: 6 seaside motifs, waistcoat stitch/ knit look (UK terminology)

Pop or Not Shawl is a versatile design for one or two skein shawl with a mix of textured stitches.
It can be crocheted with just 100g of 4ply yarn for the small size, or 200g for the large size.
  
One side is **POP** - the puff stitches are showy and pop out, wanting to be seen. The other side is **NOT**, with front post trebles and subtle puff stitches, creating strings of tiny butterflies down the shawl.
  
With simple stitch and section repeats, you will be able to crochet a shawl that is mindful, with just the right amount of challenge to keep you interested.
After wet blocking, a simple border is added to create an elegant finish to the shawl.
  
The pattern is both written and charted. A QR code link takes you to a pattern support page where I have photo and video tutorials for the special stitches used in the Pop or Not Shawl.

The Brixham Mitts is one of seven patterns in issue five of John Arbon Textiles’ in house magazine, The Annual, published in September 2025.

[There are kits available for this pattern.][1]

These cosy crochet mittens are a nod to glorious seaside walks. Those deceptive days that are full of sunshine but with a sneaky sea breeze requiring a pair of squishy, hand-warming mittens ready and waiting in your pockets.

These mitts can be made as either full mittens or fingerless mitts in any 4ply yarn. We've used Harvest Hues, Exmoor Sock, Devonia and Devon Naturals. With a simple three-colour wave pattern, the choice is yours – reflect nature, go with bright seaside deck chair colours, or even shades of beach glass.

**Yarn**
4ply (Open and Closed Versions)
MC 30 (50, 65, 80)g
CC1 20 (30, 40, 50)g
CC2 20 (30, 40, 50)g

**Sizes**
1 (2, 3, 4)

**Finished Measurements**
a - Mitt circumference: 16 (19, 22.5, 25.5)cm / 6.25 (7.5, 8.75, 10)”
b - Total mitt length (Open Version): 14.5 (18.5, 21, 24)cm / 5.75 (7.25, 8.25, 9.5)"
c - Total mitt length (Closed Version): 17.5 (22, 26.5, 30)cm / 7 (8.75, 10.5, 11.75)”
Use the mitt circumference to determine which size to make. Waistcoat stitch is quite dense, so choose the size closest to your required hand circumference with a little positive ease.

Measuring hand circumference: place a measuring tape around the palm and knuckles of the hand. Clench the fist so that the tape measure is held under the fingertips (fingertips and thumb should not be part of the circumference being measured).

**Gauge**
Double slip stitch ribbing with smaller hook: 9.5 sts = 2.5cm / 1”; 28 rows = 10cm / 4”
Colourwork waistcoat stitch with larger hook: 16 sts = 6.5cm / 2.5”; 16 rnds = 5cm / 2”

The hand is worked in a continuous spiral, creating a diagonal slant in the fabric which pulls back to vertical with wet blocking. When measuring the fabric for length fit, measure up the stitch columns to get the true length of the finished mitt.

**Hooks**
3mm (US C2/D3) crochet hook for ribbing and all single-colour
rounds
3.5mm (US E4) crochet hook for all colourwork rounds

*Choose a hook with a good point on it, to make poking through the stitches much easier.*
*Always use a hook size that results in the correct gauge after blocking.*

One Way or Another is a multi-option pattern. Choose from a cowl, necktie or scarf. Choose a luxurious floofy lace weight yarn or a special skein of 4ply. Choose to make the size you want. It’s all covered within the pattern.
  
With a simple two-row repeat, you will be able to mindfully crochet any number of neckwear projects.
  
A simple border is added, to bring a little finesse to the row ends. Using a simple weight percentage calculation, you can work out how much yarn is needed. The border requires up to 10% of the weight of the main body of the neckwear patterns.
  
**Terminology:** UK & US terminology (two separate PDFs to download)
  
**Yarns**
  
Each neckwear item has its own pattern page where you will find guidance on how much yarn is required for lace weight and 4ply, depending on the finished measurements you would prefer.
  
The necktie and cowl can be made with as little as 25g of lace weight floof, or 50g of 4ply. The scarf can be made with as little as 50g of lace weight floof, or 100g of 4ply.
  
All of the patterns can be made larger to use more yarn, making this a real stash buster. They do not depend on having exact quantities of yarn, you just need at least 25g of floof or 50g of 4ply to make something wearable.
  
**Samples used the following yarns and amounts:**
  
**Small Grey Necktie:** Baby Alpaca Floof by Zakami Yarns, 25g/ 200m/ 218yds, 42% Baby Alpaca, 35% Silk, 13% Merino, 10% Yak, undyed.

**Tension/Gauge:** Gauge isn’t really important for this pattern because you keep on going until you have used up a percentage of your yarn. Blocked gauge for both yarn weights is given below in case you want something to aim for, but fibre blend plays a huge role in the final gauge.
  
Lace weight floof and 4ply: 27-30 sts and 17-18 rows over 10cm/ 4” of main pattern.
  
**Stitches used:** chains, extended double crochet (US extended single), double slip stitch, extended double 2 together, starting extended double crochet.
  
**Tutorials:** The pattern contains row by row instructions, charts, supporting images and links to helpful video and photo stitch tutorials.
  
**Blocking:** This is a project that definitely benefits from blocking to open up the stitches and create a lacey fabric.
  
One Way Or Another is a ten-page pattern that has been fully Tech Edited.

Rambling roses are a quintessential feature of any cottage garden. They offer interest all year round from fragrant blooms at the height of summer to colourful rosehips in the waning autumnal months. Our Yarnadelic Worsted makes a soft blanket that is perfect for picnics. The main body is crocheted in a simple one-row repeat followed by border rounds. The rosehips are added as an optional embellishment, using a mixture of surface crochet and embroidery. Pattern uses UK crochet terms.

Isla Bag Crochet Pattern: Sportweight Cotton Beach Tote (UK Terminology)

The Kin Jumper is crocheted from cuff to cuff with a striking two-row repeat. With understated Dolman-style sleeves, it’s inspired by those batwing jumpers of the 1980s, with a more fitted style. The crossed treble stitch rows create an open lacey texture and the double slip stitch rows create a vertical line and give the jumper structure and a sophisticated look.
  
Kin is worked sideways in one large piece as folls: crocheted increases at the edges form the right sleeve, then chains are added to create additional sts required for the body length; the front and back are split and crocheted to create the neck hole, then re-joined to finish the body and decrease at the edges for the left sleeve. The waist rib is created at the same time, leaving just the collar and cuffs to add. Finally, a selvedge edge is added to the side seams before joining the jumper together using mattress stitch.
  
**SIZES**
See photo for full size chart.
  
Use waist measurement to determine size with suggested 7–20 cm / 2.75–8 in of positive ease.
  
Sample 1: Celandine (yellow) shown in size 4, with 5–20 cm / 2–8 in in positive ease.

**Fealty Hap**
Fealty Hap is a nod to the traditional shawls that were made and worn in Shetland. Often knitted in laceweight, they were large and generally worn doubled over to make a warm, triangular shawl.
  
This version is crocheted with a simple two-row repeat to create an open, lace pattern. A shallow border is added in rounds to finish it off. The pattern has been written for three sizes, so you can make it to the size you need (photos are of Size 3).
  
The main body lace pattern is a an ode to the many whin (gorse) bushes I remember from childhood. The little clusters on the border represent the sea pink flowers that also dared to raise their heads in the harsh climate of North East Scotland.

Strata Cardigan is a semi-fitted, drop shoulder cardigan - perfect with jeans over a strappy top, or as an extra layer when you are snuggling in the house. It has deliberately long sleeves so you can double over the cuff if you need to and keep the chill out.

Using a simple two-row repeat of Herringbone half trebles and double slip stitches, you will make this aran/worsted weight cardigan in no time at all.

Lagertha is an elegantly simple, ribbed cowl with a braid. Worked in a two-row repeat, the plait is used to hide the joined edges and complete the cowl loop.
  
The small and medium sizes are made in one panel with one braid. The large cowl is made by joining two panels together with two separate braids.
  
The pattern is inspired by Lagertha, the best known Shield Maiden. Depicted in the Vikings tv show, Lagertha always went into battle with braided hair and her signature sea-blue shield.

Blàthan (pronounced blah-han) means small blossom or bloom in Scots Gaelic, so what better name for a sock pattern inspired by the delicate, low-growing flowers I remember from my childhood?
  
The pattern uses bobble stitches to create the stamens of the flowers. Petals are then embroidered around the bobbles using a lazy daisy stitch. The socks are knitted from the cuff down, with a heel flap and gusset, and rounded toe shaping.
  
The pattern has a photo tutorial on how and where to embroider the flowers onto the socks.

3 short circular needles,

DPNs
The pattern is written as if you are using three short circular needles.
  
**Yarn substitutes:** Something with the same or very similar meterage. It can be a different blend but be aware that meterage requirements will change if you substitute yarns. For sock knitting, you ideally want a yarn with a very high twist and/or some nylon or nettle content. These three elements bring durability. Superwash makes them machine washable. That said, I happily machine wash my 100% Corriedale (non-superwash), high twist socks.

The Drover Scarf is one of six patterns in issue three of John Arbon Textiles’ in house magazine, The Annual.

Conceived from the Shetland tradition of being gifted a wedding shawl so fine that you could pull it through your wedding band, this pattern is designed to pull one end through the other, thereby keeping it round your neck on even the most blustery walks.

A Drover is someone who drives cattle and sheep to market, so would definitely benefit from a nice warm neck! This versatile design can be crocheted in any yarn weight (from lace through to worsted), in any of our yarns and incorporates textured stitches that simulate traditional embroidered smocking, field tracks and herringbone patterning that link back to our agricultural heritage.

**Sizes**
One size in each of 5 yarn weights: Worsted (DK, Sport, 4ply, Lace) 

**Finished Measurements**
Length (A): 118 (119, 117, 117, 117)cm / 46.5 (46.75, 46, 46, 46)”
Keyhole fold (C): 15cm / 6" (for all yarn weihts)
Width (B): 25 (24, 28, 31, 29)cm / 9.75 (9.5, 11, 12.25, 11.25)”

**Yarn**
[Worsted Suggestion: Yarnadelic (Worsted: 216m/ 236yds per 100g); 260g][1]
[DK Suggestion: Knit by Numbers (DK: 250m/ 273yds per 100g); 235g][2]
[Sport Suggestion: Yarnadelic (Sport; 333m/ 464yds per 100g); 225g][3]
[4ply Suggestion: Harvest Hues (4ply; 400m/ 437yds; per 100g); 240g][4]
[Lace Suggestion: Appledore (heavy laceweight; 275m/ 300yds per 50g); 180g][5] 

We think this is a great pattern for hand-spun yarn. Follow the pattern with the closest gauge to your own hand-spun. 

[You can find kits we've created for the Drover Scarf on our website, in the sample colours, and a few other options we think would look particularly fab!][6]

**Gauge**
Width of 32 sts: 19 (18.5, 16.5, 15, 12)cm / 7.5 (7.25, 6.5, 6, 4.75)”
Length of 24 rows: 17.5 (17, 15, 13.5, 10.5)cm / 7 (6.75, 6, 5.25, 4)”
Width of 5 Xtr: 9.5 (8.75, 8, 7, 5.5)cm / 3.75 (3.5, 3.25, 2.75, 2.25)”
HBhtr over 10cm / 4” width: 16 (17, 19, 21.5, 26)

**Hooks**
Crochet hook size: 5.5 (5, 4.5, 4, 3)mm / US I/9 (H/8, 7, G/6, C/2 or D/3)

**Pattern Notes**
Drover Scarf is crocheted in rows. It is then partially doubled over and sewn at one end to provide a tube or keyhole to pass the other end through, keeping it secure around your neck. 

To adjust the length of your scarf, add or remove multiples of 3 chains to your starting chain. To adjust the width, work more or fewer repeats of Rows 4-13. Remember than adjustments will affect the amount of yarn required.

My inspiration is an early childhood in Caithness, Scotland. Older siblings remember watching the waves crash over the beach at Dunnet Bay from our kitchen window, but my memories are of the flora and fauna at toddler height. 

Dunnet Head Hap is a crocheted memory of looking up through the umbrellas of cow parsley and pulling grass seeds off stalks as I tottered down our little country lane. 

Whilst this isn’t a fast project to crochet, the result is a squishy, warm shawl that can be doubled over and used as a hap, or even spread out and used as a small lap blanket. The pattern covers three sizes so you can create the perfect sized shawl for you.

The hap is crocheted in the round, from the centre out. After the set-up rows, a 4-round repeat is established. The border uses a similar round repeat as in the main body but is worked in a different colour and uses front post stitches to create a 
contrasting and tactile edging.

Tenement Cowl was inspired by the bright contrast colours and brick bond pattern of Victorian tiles.
  
Tiles were laid in communal stairwells of tenement buildings in cities such as Glasgow in Scotland. The patterns often had stripes of contrast colours and helped to brighten up the otherwise dreary flights of stairs.
  
The cowl is worked flat in rows, and sewn together after blocking to create a cowl. Yarns are carried up the side, so there are only four ends to weave in.
  
The pattern and charts are set up for right-handed users. I place my yarn over the hook (not under) as I create stitches throughout this pattern.

Tenement Cowl Crochet Pattern: 4ply of DK, advanced (UK Terminology)

The Strata Bag is a contemporary design that is easy to crochet and is a great introduction to crochet bags.
  
Strata is crocheted in rows to create just one piece of fabric that is then slip stitched together. A sewn lining can be added (not essential) to bring more structure and stability, and you can add whichever handles you prefer.
  
The same pattern is used whether you are working with a aran or chunky weight yarn. Using aran weight will create a standard handbag size, while chunky creates an over-sized bag that can carry a laptop.
  
Using a simple two-row repeat of Herringbone half trebles and double slip stitches, you will make this bag in no time at all.

Aran weight WoolyKnit Aran Weight Cone; 100g/ 154m/ 168yds; 100% British Wool. This wool comes on 400g cones. Sample used 300g/ 462m/ 505yds in shade 'Rust Tan'.
