ENTSPANNT • STRUKTURIERT • VIDEO-TUTORIAL FÜR HÄKELKANTEN
(Video auf Englisch)

Das Cornflake Top ist gedacht für diese sorglosen Tage in der Sonne, vorzugsweise mit einem Eis oder einem Buch in der Hand. Als ich dieses Top entworfen habe, wollte ich etwas mit einer hübschen Textur und durchdachten Details schaffen - etwas, das Freude macht zu stricken ohne übermäßig kompliziert zu sein. Das Ergebnis ist ein an Vintage-Stile erinnerndes süßes Top mit gehäkelten Muschelborten entlang des Halsausschnitts, des unteren Saums und der Armausschnitte.

Das Top wird komplett im Perlmuster gestrickt mit zarten Lochmusterstreifen als Kontrast. Diese Art von Top ist mühelos süß, ohne übertrieben zu wirken, mit genau der richtigen Menge an Cottagecore-Energie.

TOP DOWN • LACE SHOWSTOPPER • VIDEO TUTORIAL

The Love Letter Dress is a tribute to lace stitch patterns — a love letter written by a pair of knitting needles in the shape of a knitted fabric. This is the showstopper version of the Love Letter Top, taking the same all-over lace motif and letting it run the full length of a dress. The design was born from a desire to create something with an all-over lace motif that keeps changing all the time, and in this longer silhouette, that sense of constant change gets even more room to unfold. It's a true celebration of the textures and intricate shapes we can create with our knitting needles.

The dress is worked top down: first the upper back and front are worked back and forth, then the body is worked in the round. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the neckline and armholes for an i-cord bind-off edge.

TOP DOWN • PEPLUM HEM • I-CORD TUNNELS

The Flutterby Top is for those moments when you want to add a bit of romance and whimsy to your day. It features playful puff sleeves and an elegant tie string at the waist, creating a soft, feminine silhouette with just enough shoulder structure to keep things interesting. This top works beautifully dressed up for a special occasion or worn casually whenever you need a little magic.

The Flutterby Top is worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning with German Short Rows to shape the neckline, then transitioning into the shoulders and those voluminous puff sleeves. The body is worked in the round with a tie string tunnel created using double knitting, and the hem is finished with increases that create a delicate frill effect. Once the body is complete, you work two i-cord tie strings for the waist tunnel.

TOP DOWN • SEAMLESS • VIDEO GUIDE AVAILABLE

The Vanilla Chilla Light Tee is the breezy, lighter sister of the original Vanilla Chilla Tee. It has all the same relaxed, timeless energy just worked in a thinner yarn (the original is worked in a DK yarn, the lighter version in a fingering weight). If you want something simple and easy that you could reach for on the hottest days of summer, this is it. Like the original, the piece is worked seamlessly top down in Stockinette Stitch, so you can easily adjust the length to suit your preferences.

First, the yoke is worked flat to raise the back, then the yoke continues in the round with classic raglan increases. To finish, the hems, cuffs, and collar are worked to double length, then neatly folded and attached for a clean, polished look. You can customise the sleeve lengths, work them to short or three quarter lengths (or even longer).
