El Capuchon

Hello lovely people! Here is my very last release of the year and my first release, especially designed for men. Well... to be completely honest with you... especially designed for The Man in my life 💗! Isn't he looking stunning?! 😍 I am going to keep it short today because so far, the holidays have been tough on us. We are both floored with a heavey flu since over a week and there are so many things piling up which I'd like to do before this year ends... I feel a little rushed, need to keep going! A ‘capuchon’ is the French, Spanish and Dutch name for a hood. As I said, this particular one was designed for ‘him’, but don’t let that keep you from making one for her as well 😉. The hooded cowl pattern is worked in one piece, from the bottom of the neck upwards, up until the chin and then downwards again on the inside of the cowl, to finally create the hood upwards. Slightly rounded shaping is added, making sure the hood is not ‘just’ an enormous rectangle falli

Skylining Poncho

Last winter, my design adventure started with a poncho pattern . This year, I decided to make another. While this poncho is completely different in design and construction from my Secret Paths and Hidden Daisies poncho, it has that same warm and snug feeling when wearing it. I really think ponchos are my most preferred winter wear. Easy to throw on when there is a chill in the air, and just as easy to take off again when the chimney starts working overtime! With every design I made this year, I tried new techniques. I have learned a lot because of that, and I love to keep on working in different ways to be able to offer something new and interesting with every pattern. This poncho pattern is worked sideways, which makes it incredibly easy to adjust in length as well as circumference. You can make this poncho in such a way to fit your body precisely.The pattern gives you options for sizes XS to 5X. But don’t let that keep you from working out your own size. See pattern note
