I challenged myself to make a pattern with just one skein of DK yarn that felt big enough to be useful, small enough to roll off the needles, and interesting enough to want to make it over and over again. Snuggle Bug was the result of this challenge. The super easy centipede stitch creates a delightful herringbone texture and the result is an extremely lofty and warm winter accessory. It’s such a fast and rewarding project and I’m sure you will soon be making one for everyone you care about!

*What if a knitted fade can be achieved using textured stitches instead of the typical striped blending? This is where I Can Knit Myself Flowers began, with this challenge. With each textured stitch, the colours change progressively from light to dark with a striking nuance that comes to a crescendo at the border. The various patterns use slip stitches, increases, decreases, and double yarn overs combined with cable stitches to create interest - and keep you interested in knitting! Use three skeins of fingering weight yarn in a close fade to get the textured fade look, or get creative with contrasting colors!*

This pattern is available as part of the [Yarn A Long 2023][1]. It will become available as an individual download in December.

*Stitch patterns with extraordinary visual appeal really make my heart swell. I find new stitch tricks and interesting or unexpected results a huge part of my motivation as a knitter. In Mautinoa, a shawl named after my father, I hope you will be challenged and excited to get each new section because of the interesting and unexpected look of each stitch pattern. Mautinoa means “to be confident” in my father’s native language of Samoan and I am confident that this shawl will soon become one of your favorite makes!*

With magical skills you already possess, four colours of hand dyed singles can be whipped up into this texturific triangular shawl. Its crossover cable pattern is deeply cuddly and will bring you the kind of joy only a deeply satisfying hand knit can evoke. Your four colours undulate and alternate in wide, textured stripes flanked by blendy garter stitch. For best results, pick colors that aren’t extremely high contrast, like a fade or colors in the same color family. If you’re feeling adventurous, switch up the semi-solids for self-striping yarn and watch the colors change!

I had so much fun designing Moody Fairy! Like with my Trixie pattern, I wanted to play with fun stitch patterns, this time focusing on ones that used tuck, slip and brioche stitches. Paging through stitch dictionaries is one of my favourite things to do, so that’s where I started. Moody Fairy was destined to become the shawl that draws you in and you just can’t wait to get on the needles. This shawl earned it’s name for being both magical and moody. I hope you enjoy knitting it as much as I enjoyed designing it.

This pattern is published in *52 Weeks of Shawls* by Laine Publishing.

*Turnrow* is a sheer linen scarf that makes use of geometric, parallel lines and angles to accentuate the drape in the fibre. The triangular shawl is knitted sideways from one tip to the opposite edge. Short rows are accomplished by simply turning before reaching the end of the row, and no wrap or other method is used to disguise the turn. The pattern is composed of simple, predictable elements, and once you get started, you can just keep on knitting. Choose needles that are big enough: since linen isn’t elastic like wool, knitting it too tightly can be hard on your hands.

On a winter holiday in Stockholm where my wife and I were engaged, we took a blustery boat ride in the waters where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. This meeting of salty and fresh waters creates what is called brackish water and it inspired this colorwork pattern that was first published as a hat and is now adapted for this jumper pattern.

Trixie is a delightful little crescent shawl with loads of texture, finished off with a neat little row of easy and playful tassels. Grab three skeins of West Wool Bicycle in any colour for a light and easy shawl.  If you’re in the mood for a large, warm hug of a shawl, choose our Tandem DK weight yarn for extra bounce and size.


Perfect for summer nights and warmer climates, Lynne is a simple, classy knit linen shawl. Made with two skeins of Lingarn from VäxboLin, it’s an instant favorite. Linen is a living fibre - crunchy and rough at first, but softens and drapes with age and wear.

This pattern is written with a stitch pattern sequence that is apart from the increase/decrease instructions.  To follow, you will continue with the stitch pattern while increasing and decreasing at one selvedge edge.  It's simple enough, but you may need to have two counters going at the same time.

Make this cozy sampler of texture and shaping in two colours, or experiment with colour using your stash or mini-skeins.  Paper Airplane is an interesting, but easy to memorize pattern that is perfect for playing with new stitch patterns. Use your own colour palette to make it your own!

In Section 5, Row 1 and two began with incorrect (RS) and (WS) denotations.  They have been fixed and now read:

Row 2: (RS) Knit.
This has been fixed in a new version uploaded on Oct. 10 2018. If you bought the pattern after this date, you have the correct version already.**


Inspired by La Bien Aimée’s perfectly considered colour combinations, Van Dijk is a shawl or scarf design that plays with texture and colour and works well with speckled or variegated yarns. It’s fun to knit and just flows off the needles.

Van Dijk as a scarf doesn’t have all the bulk around the back, but still offers the warmth a winter shawl should.  The larger version works well as a wrap, keeping your shoulders warm and staying well in place worn that way.

Tiny Sweaters make delightful little christmas ornaments! They also make great practice projects for those who have never knitted a sweater before and want to give it a try before launching into a larger project.

This wonderfully wooly colorwork hat was designed on a dark winter retreat to Stockholm.  The Swedish capital city spans over fourteen islands that make up part of the archipelago where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea.  This meeting of salty and fresh waters creates what is called brackish water.  

The playful colorwork design found in this pattern moves from a ecru background to a green and finally a dark mottled grey background, mimicking the mingling of waters in this unforgettable city.

**Errata**
There was a small error in the first pattern release. I released an update that corrects it. 

The correction was after the first 3 rounds. Here is what it should say:

Next round: K1, m1l, k17, s2kp, k17, m1r, ( k1, m1l, k17, s2kp, k17, m1r) twice, k1. 
Next round: K 
Repeat last 2 rounds 8(10, 12) times.

The sizing is done in various lengths rather than number of stitched cast on. 

You might be tempted to do more of these two rounds because it seems awfully early to start the decreasing, but you’ll end up with a hat that is too big if you just keep going. The decreases happen slowly.
