As part of the International Year of the Scarf, I am offering the Haiti Scarf as a free pattern.
BEST-SELLING PATTERNS LAST MONTH:
On the Design Collections page, you will find my collections of handknitting patterns, featuring lace knitting, intriguing stitch patterns, and unique construction.
My theme-based collections include shawls, scarves, wraps, and sweaters, many with sizing from Extra Small up to 3X/4X. Each pattern is sold separately as a PDF download from my website or as printed patterns in yarn shops throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia.
My patterns are written with great care - and occasional humour. Well-illustrated with photos, charts, and schematics, each pattern includes everything you need to know to complete the project.
My newest collection in the Landscape Collection, a celebration of the landscape through colour and texture.
