Pattern Release: Delicate Drift Cowl

I am so pleased to end this year with the release of this pretty, little thing – Delicate Drift Cowl.

Inspired by the gentle twist of vines and the calm of winter woods, the Delicate Drift Cowl weaves serenity into every row. Its flowing cables mimic nature’s quiet rhythm – graceful, grounding, and deeply soothing. Elegant cables, a soft drape, and effortless warmth – designed for knitters who love simple beauty and gentle textures.

Delicate Drift Cowl uses a simple-to-knit and easy-to-memorize cables which makes this project a mindless one. The cowl is knit flat, from one end to the other making this ideal to use up every inch of your yarn. You can make this cowl as small or big as you want.

Cascade Cantata is a stunning choice for this cowl. Its fluffly, airy structure offers the needed squishiness for the cables to shine.

Pattern Release: Mili Cowl

There’s something magical about casting on a new project that promises both simplicity and beauty—something you can ease into at the end of a long day, yet feel proud to wear or gift when it’s done. Mili Cowl is just that kind of project. It’s a gentle invitation to sink into the rhythm of your needles and let texture bloom stitch by stitch.

Designed with versatility and ease in mind, the Mili Cowl is perfect for knitters of all experience levels. Whether you’re just beginning your knitting journey or you’re a seasoned maker looking for a satisfying side project, this pattern has something to offer. The star of the show is a beautifully subtle textured stitch pattern that looks complex, but is delightfully meditative to work. The repeat is intuitive and offered both as a chart and in written instructions—so you can follow your preferred style without skipping a beat.

Malabrigo Washted is a stunning choice for this cowl. Its soft, single-ply structure brings out the definition of the textured stitch pattern, while its hand-dyed colorways add depth and richness that make each cowl one-of-a-kind. The subtle variations in tone give the fabric a gentle movement, adding visual interest without overwhelming the simplicity of the design. Want something cozy and close-fitting? Knit a shorter version. Prefer a longer loop you can double-wrap? Just keep going. It’s a perfect match for that one special skein of yarn you’ve been saving—allowing you to use up every last inch in a project that showcases its texture and color beautifully.

So brew a warm cup of tea, find your coziest corner, and let Mili Cowl carry you into a peaceful, meditative flow.

New Pattern: Varna Shawl

Varna Shawl is released as part of Knotions December 2019 issue. Knit using one skein of Schoppel-Wolle Zauberball in Frische colorway  and two skeins of Knit Picks Stroll in Ash colorway. Shawl is knit using mosaic colorwork technique, in which you work with only one color every row.

Varna, ‘color’ in Sanskrit, is a celebration of variegated yarn with long repeats. Paired with a neutral, solid colored yarn, the shawl lets the variegated yarn be the hero, while the solid yarn remains the unsung one.

The Varna Shawl is knit from one corner to the other edge, starting with few stitches in a row and gradually increasing on one side, to get the tapered triangular shape.   It uses mosaic knitting, in which every row is worked with only one color, making the Varna Shawl a mindless and enjoyable knit.

New Pattern: Sindhu Shawl

Sindhu Shawl is released as part of April 2019 issue of Knotions. Knit using two skeins of Malabrigo Silkpaca Yarn in gorgeous Pearl and Fucisa colorway, this shawl is a mindless, yet interesting knit.

Sindhu is one of the longest rivers in India, originating in the icy hills in the north and flowing south to finally merge into the Arabian sea. During her journey, Sindhu witnesses different terrains, including icy hills, rocky mountains, lush greenery and smooth sand.

Sindhu Shawl is an attempt to capture these interesting terrains. The shawl starts off with a mindless garter stitch which then transforms into garter stripes and the finale is akin to a musical crescendo – a pretty lace stitch pattern.
