Let’s knit a few rows together, shall we?

— New Pattern Release! —

 

Despite its intricate appearance, Tailor-Made Twist scarf is far easier to knit than it looks. While it combines both cable and lace, the pattern is easy to memorize, making it a perfect companion for relaxed, mindful knitting. Even the reverse side is just as beautiful, giving you a fully reversible accessory that’s as versatile as it is striking.

Introducing Tailor-Made Twist!

This enchanting parallelogram scarf begins and ends with a single, elegant point. As you knit, progressive increases gradually build the fabric to its full width, creating a soothing, serene and rhythmic flow that feels almost meditative. The centre section allows you to settle into the stitch pattern, before graceful decreases guide the scarf back to a mirrored point in the opposite corner — forming a sleek, asymmetrical shape that drapes beautifully.

A gauge swatch is key—but knowing your own measurements is just as important when it comes to choosing the right size and creating a well-fitting garment.

 

We all know it can be a challenge to get that measuring tape out. For me, it takes a bit of convincing to actually look at how my measurements have changed over time. But—we won’t go there!
