New Blogpost – Time for an Autumn Scarf

Have you noticed that there are a lot of red berries this year? There certainly are lots here in Sweden, which usually indicates that a cold winter is coming. So this might be the perfect time to start knitting a scarf!

One of my favourites scarves is the Karlskrona Scarf, which you can see in the photos on the left. This is worked in a wonderfully textural reversible stitch, with sharply-defined lines and zig-zag shapes. 

I am about to embark on a new version using a lovely soft green yarn, and you can read more about that in my latest blogpost by clicking here.

300 Stitches!

Anna & I have been busy adding some more stitches to our Reversible Knitting Stitches book. So it is with a great fan-fare and blowing of trumpets, that we can announce a brand-new version of the book – now with 300 stitches!

New scarf pattern

And here is a new scarf, the ​Avebury Scarf.  This design was inspired by our visit to the standing stones at Avebury in Wiltshire. As the clouds scudded past in the strong breeze, the stones changed from a light grey to a wonderfully deep indigo blue. Quite magical...

The scarf is completely reversible and is worked using a sportweight wool yarn for a light-weight but warm result.
​
The pattern includes instructions for two widths and three lengths so you can tailor the scarf for a range of wrapping styles. Read more about the pattern here.
