In Britain, you’ll find wild strawberries in hedgerows and grassland, their tiny white flowers visible from April to July. The leaf lace pattern is reminiscent of the leaves of these little plants, and the rich pinky red of the yarn brings to mind the fruit that will soon be available for picking. Knit this pattern as a stole to cover up your shoulders on a summer evening, or use just one skein for a simple scarf.

| These summery socks are a riot of cables and lace. Best worn in the garden when the sun is shining!

| The faded jeans effect of the hand dyed yarn, together with a slouchy slip-stitch pattern make these unisex socks the perfect attire for when you’re putting your feet up and watching your favourite film.

| I love the versatility of triangular shawls knitted from the top down. They can be made in almost any weight of yarn and in any size. This one is knit in cashmere, making it warm yet lightweight and easy to stow away in a bag until needed. Perfect for the variable weather of a British springtime!

| Moss stitch diamonds form an “Argyle” pattern on this mansize sock. Knit with a crisp yarn in a solid colour to make the most of the stitch pattern.

| After finding a lacy heart pattern in a stitch guide, it seemed only proper to use it with a yarn in a colourway named “Valentine”. The socks are named for the lovely knitter who gave me the yarn and inspired me to create the perfect, calorie free alternative present for 14th February.

| A very simple design, perfect for a first attempt at knitting with beads or lace knitting (or both!).
Try knitting with a wool or silk yarn for a different effect, or use a variegated yarn and omit the beads.
