The KNIT tee was originally conceived as ... keep reading >>

Published on October 6, 2015 By Davina | May contain affiliate links (whats this?)
tjockt martta the merino yarn

One of the reasons we decided to carry Tjockt's Martta the Merino yarn  is because of it's incredible yardage. Just one skein can make a big fluffy cowl, a playful pom pom scarf or two hats - one for you and one for a toddler. Each skein has 140 yards, and that's a whole lot of yarn, especially when it comes in bulky weight. So, check out what one or two skeins of this deliciously soft superfine ... keep reading >>

The Everyday Raglan: An Easy Beginner Pattern

Published on October 6, 2015 By Davina | May contain affiliate links (whats this?)

The first sweater I made was a raglan, and I remember being completely mesmerised by its construction. At first, it made no sense at all. Why am I casting on so few stitches? Why aren't ... keep reading >>

This beanie takes inspiration from classic watch c This beanie takes inspiration from classic watch caps. Fun fact: these hats got their name from Navy sailors who wore them while keeping watch in the night.

My take doesn’t stray far from the original caps. It’s knit in a beginner-friendly 1×1 rib and has a sleek decrease that keeps the rib pattern intact.

It can be worn cuffed for a fisherman’s look or un-cuffed for a slouchy modern feel.

So knit up a piece of history with this #freepattern at sheepandstitch.com
