Zakami Yarn & Pattern Collaboration
I’m thinking about a relaxing knit project for the holidays!
Would you like to join me for an informal knit along over the next few weeks?
If that sounds good to you, then please use code TRIANGLE for 20% off my Vega, Deneb, Lyra and Altair patterns on Ravelry and Payhip - click the buttons below for more details!
Not sure which yarn or shades to choose? My friends at Zakami can help with that! Order a surprise “Oh No! Oh Yes!” box specially curated for the shawl of your choice (leave a note at checkout when you order on the Zakami website).
Already got your yarn and pattern? Say hello on Instagram or Threads and we can cast on together!
Rolling Waves Scarf Pattern Available Now!
The Rolling Waves Scarf is inspired by crashing waves breaking on the beautiful beaches along the North Atlantic Coast of Northern Ireland.
The rolling waves stitch pattern is knitted with increases and corresponding decreases. Each layer of waves is emphasised by rows of garter stitch texture, which represent the rolling waves.
This scarf is designed especially for multi-shade mini-skeins, using 4-row stripes to blend shades into each other and to create a fade across the scarf.
Tempting Textures and Reversible Stitch Patterns: Knit-Along Workshops 2026
Join Emma and Liz and Louise from The Loom Shed for another fabulous knit-a-long-workshop exploring reversible textural knitting. We’ll knit a Rectangle of Squares Scarf or Cowl together over five one-hour online sessions, exploring multiple textures and building up a stitch library of reversible patterns. Push your knitting knowledge and design skills with Emma’s expert guidance and a group of like-minded enthusiastic knitters!
Update! The Knit-Along Workshops are now sold out! (Wait-list places only)
