Burrell Sweater Knitting Pattern
£6.00
A super simple, oversized cropped sweater that’s maybe the most flattering garment I own. Super comfy, super cozy and looks amazing – your wardrobe needs this!
We work from the top down using a simple construction. We cast on stitches at the shoulder and work down the back to the underarm with a little short row shaping. Stitches are picked up at each shoulder and worked down the front to the underarm, shaping the neckline as we go. All stitches are joined in the round and worked straight down to the hem, working a simple and modern lace pattern. We pick up stitches round each armhole for the sleeves and work them in the round to the cuff. Finally stitches are picked up around the neckline and worked in ribbing.
The Burrell Collection is an amazing museum and art gallery in the middle of Pollok Park in Glasgow. Truly a world class museum in an enormous country park – it honestly feels like you’re in the middle of the countryside complete with forest, Highland Cows and a stately house with manicured gardens. And the best part is it’s a minute’s walk from my new house, we’re living the dream!

Hoodiesaurus Knitting Pattern
£6.00
Maybe the cutest hoodie of all time? This is a simple garter stitch hoodie with a twist – spines! I designed this for my baby daughter but I think the appeal is universal so I graded it for adult sizes too.
We start with a provisional cast on at the neckline and work top down with a raglan construction. After knitting the body, stitches are picked up for the sleeves. Stitches are picked up the provisional cast on and worked up from the neckline for the hood. After that comes the fun part! Using yarn held double to give some structure, we pick up “purl bumps” and work spines from the middle of the hood right down to the hem. Instructions are given for 17 sizes from newborn to 150 cm/60” chest. We include instructions for optional waist and sleeve shaping, and for two sizes of buttonhole if you don’t like toggles.

Tentsmuir is a beautiful pine forest near where I grew up - we always try to go back for a visit every autumn when it’s looking its best. It’s always filled with the most amazing mushrooms, and it feels like you’re in a forest from a fairy tale!

Bracklinn Sweater Knitting Pattern
£6.00
A super cosy sweater with cute button details at the side of the body. I knit this when my wee one was just a newborn for breastfeeding, but this is perfect winter wear for anyone. Who doesn’t love buttons?
Inspired by my Bracklinn Crop, it’s the same lace design and yoked construction, but in a chunkier yarn. It’s top down, totally seamless and available in nine sizes. After we work the beautiful lace yoke, we work the front and the back of the body separately down to the hem – with buttonholes on the front panel and buttons on the back. We then work the sleeves down to the cuffs. We also include instructions for a buttonless version if preferred.
The photo shows the 34” sweater on a model with 35” bust.

Pollokshaws Cardigan Knitting Pattern
£6.00
A beautiful cardigan with instructions for long or short sleeves – the perfect garment for transitioning between the seasons. A top down, seamless cardigan with a stunning lace design. The photo shows the 80 cm/32” cardigan on a model with 85 cm/34” chest
Knitted from the top down, we work an ingenious lace pattern which incorporates the increases for the yoke. We then add short rows before we separate sleeves and body for the perfect fit. We knit down to the hem working another lace pattern as we go. Then there’s the tough decision of whether to knit short sleeves or long sleeves, or keep the short sleeves while the weather’s hot then change them when Autumn’s on the way!
We recently moved to the Pollokshaws area of Glasgow and are absolutely loving it – I think we’ve finally found our “forever home

Pollokshaws Sweater or Tee Knitting Pattern
£6.00
A beautiful tee or sweater – the perfect garment for transitioning between the seasons. A top down, seamless sweater with a stunning lace design. I started knitting the t-shirt version in the summer, and after a cold snap I was inspired to add longer sleeves. It looks great either way!
Knitted from the top down, we work an ingenious lace pattern which incorporates the increases for the yoke. We then add short rows before we separate sleeves and body for the perfect fit. We knit down to the hem working another lace pattern as we go. Then there’s the tough decision of whether to knit short sleeves or long sleeves – or do like I did and keep the short sleeves while the weather’s hot then change them when Autumn’s on the way!
We recently moved to the Pollokshaws area of Glasgow and are absolutely loving it – I think we’ve finally found our “forever home”!
