Maja Beanie

Maja Beanie is knitted bottom up using Tandem. The brim is knitted in twisted stitches and can be folded double or triple depending on choice. The body and crown of the beanie has a childhood memory inspired bobble, cable and twisted stitch pattern which reminds Jenny of building a tent out of pine needle tree branches in the woods.

Trianglegram

This triangular shawl begins with a tiny triangle at the centre of the shawl. Parallelograms are stacked on the three sides of the triangle hence the name Trianglegram. Each parallelogram shape is knit one at a time while being attached to the previous sections for an entirely seamless project. Repeat the stripes until you are ready to bind off.

Lauren Wallis

Aperture

Apertureis a large half-pi shawl with reversible colourwork. The shawl is worked from the top down. For Lauren Wallis, the floats of a colourwork pattern are just as beautiful as the face, and this was a chance to showcase both. The high contrast of black and white emphasises the crisp lines compared with the blur that the floats achieve. Knit up yours in squishy Tandem!

Elwood

Discover a land of boundless creativity for colour play, Elwood crafts an eloquent dialogue between you and your creation.

Inspired by textures in the woods, I wanted to use nature as a canvas, painting modern geometric lines to form an image that can evoke your emotion. It’s a colour work, it’s a cable knitting, it’s an enticing accessory project that serves as a playground for your artistic reflection.

Mossy Marled Raglan

Choose two colours of fingering weight yarn and hold them together throughout this marled sweater project. The top-down pullover begins with a folded hem in twisted rib. Then moss stitch is worked in the round as you increase with raglan shaping. Stephen used two colours of West Wool Bicycle, a non-superwash merino wool. This soft and lofty fibre produces a super squishy and cosy fabric. The simple stitches and straight forward instructions make this sweater ideal for beginner sweater knitters. Enjoy mixing your yarns together as you knit this comfy sweater.
