Literally

Product information "Literally"
A narrow scarf with a good length, knit out of soft and colorful wool, is the best accessory for reading in the park, for browsing the shelves of your favorite book-store or library or on your way to the book fair. Almost magically, it makes us look sophisticated and well-read – don’t you think? This pretty scarf is knit on the bias with a pretty zig-zag pattern that is created by working increases and decreases in a color-changing yarn: Use your own handspun or something (almost!) as pretty like “Edition 3” or Zauberball by Schoppel or “Lazy Lion” by Kremke Soul Wool. Depending on how long you would like your scarf, you will use between 100 and 150 g of yarn. You will need four stitch markers in two different colors and a crochet hook of suitable size, as you will crochet cast-on new stitches every now and then (I show you how that works in a video). So: Happy knitting and reading!

Zig-Zags have been a vital part of my journey as a knitwear designer: the pattern that started it all – the Hitchhiker – has a shark tooth edging, “Baltic Summer” is zig-Zagged through and through, “Match & Move” is one huge Zag, and “Rockin’ Rows” also features lots of ziggy-Zaggy. Now comes the time for a rectangular stole with lots of zig-zags, and just because it’s so much fun and looks awesome: on the bias. The yarn is a super-soft, squishy organic yarn named “Lovely Merino Treat” that makes the shawl extra voluminous and warm. Use it for warmth on your shoulders on cool summer evenings and as an extra warm scarf underneath your coat in winter. If you like, you can use up all 400 grams of yarn by working the red contrast stripe more often. The pattern includes instructions on how to make the shawl wider and longer (for which you will need more yarn). You will need 20 stitchmarkers to make this: 10 in red and 10 in blue. If you want to make it wider, you will need even more! Colors used in the samples:Grey/white/red: Edelweiss, Isar Kiesel, Kugelfisch and Rotbuche. Blue/pink: Tiefer Ozean, Distel, Blauwal, Rosa Orchidee.

Happy Crowd
Formate: PDF Download | Language: Deutsch
A  little colorful happiness is just what we need right now – and a knitting pattern that is relaxed, but will keep you on your toes. Perfect for blending out whatever worries you may have at the moment! You will start with a crocheted provisional cast-on (I have a video for that) and zig-zag your way along until you will join the cast-on stitches and the stitches from the last row with a 3-needle bind-off (there is a video for that, too). Don’t worry if you have never done it before, it’s easy! The cowl can be worked longer or shorter, wider or narrower, just as you please – so you can be part of the happy crowd wearing it!

Hitch on the Move
Formate: PDF Download | Language: Deutsch
Zig-zags just look cool, are fun to knit and go with everything, if you ask me! This shawl unites the sharktooth design of my most popular pattern “Hitchhiker” with the construction of “Match & Move”: two yarns interlock along the middle axis in a zig-zag-pattern. Of course, everything is worked seamlessly in one piece, and in the end, there are only very few ends to weave in. For “Hitch on the Move” we chose two lovely plant-based yarns, one with color changes and one without. If you prefer, you can use a set of mini-skeins for one side and a solid color for the other – the possibilities are endless! Please keep in mind if you change yarns with every stripe, there will be more ends to weave in. The pattern includes instructions on how to make the shawl bigger using more yarn.Below you can see color suggestions from Kremke Soul Wool "Morning Salutation" and Schoppel "Zauberball Crazy Cotton". The shawl on the photos is knitted from two balls per color.
