This Northney Sweater pattern, or jumper pattern, was designed for my grandson to wear during this winter. The sweater is knitted in the round, in one piece from the top down, with the sleeve stitches put onto scrap yarn and finished after the body.
The sweater has a yoke which is knitted in Sirdar Baby Crofter, the rest of the jumper is knitted in the plain Sirdar Baby Snuggly. The edgings are worked in garter stitch.
The whole jumper uses between 130g and 300g of DK baby yarn, of which approx 1/3 is the Crofter yarn used for the yoke and edgings. This is a lovely yarn which gives the effect of fair isle.

This Sandy Point Kids Hoodie Sweater pattern, or jumper pattern, was designed for my grandson to wear during this winter.
This jumper was designed with my grandson in mind, but it would look fabulous on a girl too. It is top down, the main part of the body is in one piece with no seaming. The arms and neck are knitted using short rows. I added a hood as I like to think of this as a child surfer’s garment.
The body is knitted in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter and the arms and hood are knitted in the plain Sirdar Snuggly. This gives a vest type impression when it is finished. Why not experiment with different yarns, including plain and patterned?
The whole jumper uses between 130g and 350g of DK baby yarn, of which approx 1/3 is the Crofter yarn. This is a lovely yarn which gives the effect of fair isle, without having to work with multiple colours.

This Robin Hood’s Bay Scarf was designed following a visit to my LYS (local yarn shop). As soon as I walked into the shop the skein of yarn caught my eye. Try as I might, I just couldn’t walk away from it! The colour, the softness of the yarn just called to me.
This is the same as how I feel about Robin Hood’s Bay, which is why I named the set after this beautiful part of Yorkshire. I am drawn to the place, again and again. The pattern reflects the pull of the sea in the dramatic colour, the plains of the North York Moors in the sections of stocking stitch as well as the dramatic cliff edges in the lace.
The lightweight wool means it has an interesting drape. It is loose, light and airy which is perfect for the transition the weather of spring brings. There is a matching hat in a beret/tam style for a little boho chic.
The skein was West Yorkshire Spinners Exquisite (80% Falkland wool, 20% mulberry silk) in colourway Savoy 371. Both the hat and the scarf can be made from one skein. Why did I called it rivieting? I suppose the alliteration appeals to me but also because it was one of those projects where I just had to knit one more row …..
I used a skein of West Yorkshire Spinners (WYS) Exquisite (80% Falkland wool, 20% mulberry silk) in colourway Savoy 371. You could easily knit the beret and the scarf from the same skein of yarn. The yarn itself has a beautiful but gentle sheen, from the silk content and is buttery soft.
As always, when I’m knitting for the knitworthy members of my family or dear friends, I consider how they’re going to wear it, wash it, the colours they love and what styles they wear.
These socks were designed during a phase when I was obsessed with the Old Shale stitch and how it could be paired with sections of stocking stitch. The lace stitch goes down the back and front of the leg, stops at the heel on the back but carries on to the toe on the front.
The construction is a cuff down, and they come in 8 sizes from toddler, through womens and to mens sizes.
A pair of large mens socks can be made from one ball of 100g 4-ply/fingering weight sock yarn.
The Everglade Tam is knitted with dk weight yarn. You could substitute any DK weight yarn. I used 3.5mm and 4mm needles and King Cole Glitz Double Knitting . The Hat / Beanie pattern has instructions for three sizes from 17 to 22 inch brim to fit a broad range of heads and hair volume. The design features a reverse stocking stitch background on the cable panel, to show off the cable stitches and let them shine.

As always, when I’m knitting for the knitworthy members of my family or dear friends, I consider how they’re going to wear it, wash it, the colours they love and what styles they wear. In this case, I loved the Merida colourway of the 4ply / fingering weight yarn. As Merida lived at Dunbroch, it was the obvious name for the sock pattern, a bit feisty, fun and a way to showcase a variegated yarn.
These socks were designed when I was playing around with how many rows of stocking stitch I wanted to put in a repeating pattern. In the end I liked the effect and so it stayed! The lace stitch goes around the whole leg, stops at the heel but carries on to the toe on the front.
The construction is a cuff down, and they come in 8 sizes from toddler, through womens and to mens sizes. The colourway of the wool I used was called Merida. She came from Dunbroch, hence the name of the pattern.
