Winter Berries Design now LIVE

Hello my Magical Friends!

I’m back again! Here with a new a hat and cowl pattern that is now live in my store on Ravelry!

My new Winter Berries Hat and Cowl knitting pattern is perfect for beginners to stranded colorwork. With only two colors used at one time, yarn management is kept to a minimum. It’s perfect for those who may not have experience with multiple yarns at once and a nice simple piece for experienced knitters.

I used my own hand dyed yarn on my Dense DK base, which you can get in my Sisteresque Fibers shop in any colorway. I loved using my own yarn! The purple color is The Evil Eye colorway; the red is Blood Binding; and the green is The Poison You Picked.

Worked on a US Size 5 needle, this pattern is based on a 12 stitch repeat. This makes it easy to customize the size of the hat or cowl; just add or subtract multiples of 12 stitches when you cast on and follow the pattern as written. Simple!

I had so much fun knitting this up and designing the charts for the colorwork! I do hope if you choose to support my yarny dreams and purchase my pattern, you will enjoy it, too!

That’s all the self-promotion I have for now 🙂 Until next circle, Fiber Friends!

Elphaba Shawl Pattern is Live!

Hello dear knitting friends! My latest knitting pattern, the Elphaba Shawl, is now live on Ravelry! Inspired by the misunderstood “Wicked” witch herself, Elphaba Thropp, this shawl was designed with yarn from Dragon Hoard Yarn Co. in her Defying Gravity Kit. The kit itself was inspired by the musical Wicked, so I took Trysten’s yarn inspiration and ran with it!

This shawl is a faroese shawl construction, which might sound lofty, but I promise it’s a simple pattern! The center panel is a consistent number of stitches in a chevron pattern, which is easy to memorize once you get started. Wings are created with increases on either side of the center panel.

This shawl blocks out to a nice medium size, but only requires one skein (about 80 grams) of a main color and one 20 gram mini skein for the contrasting stripe color. Great for stash busting! It is a fairly quick knit as it only requires about 460 yards. Make one for you and one for a wicked friend!
