Free pattern: Crocheted Flowers

Find the pattern below for these sweet little flowers. The pattern isn't tested and should be simple, but do let me know if you think there's an error. If you struggle to know which stitches are which try putting a lightbulb pin in the second treble of each 3tr on round 2 to mark the centre of each petal. This will help to make sure that you get the stitches in the right places on round 3.  This is a simple little pattern but it still took me ages (I spent way too long on it tbh!) of making up...

Hayton 4ply: Projects and Patterns using our merino, cashmere, nylon blend

It occurred to us that it might be really useful to have an ECY way to browse patterns and projects made using specific yarns, for inspiration and ideas. It's one of those things where once you think of it it seems blatantly obvious 🙈🤣  Just FYI - there are no links to Ravelry here. We've linked to patterns and projects that are available to purchase/view elsewhere.  Hayton 4ply is a beautiful mix of smooth, bouncy merino, a little nylon to make it more hard wearing, and a dash of cashmere for the ultimate luxury. This three-fold yarn spun to a 4ply...

What can I make with a 4ply/Fingering Five Skein Fade Set?

Have you seen a pack of five skeins in a fade set and been tempted but don't know what to use them for? Well look no further... here's some pattern inspiration for you!   Fading Point by Joji Locatelli  The original pattern that inspired us to make five skein fade sets in the first place!     Starting Point by Joji Locatelli The precursor to Fading Point. This might not be as obvious with how to use a fade set but could look very striking. It is only available on Ravelry at the moment. Here's how it looks with five colours (but not a fade):...

Project ideas for DK Yarnlings™

As well as our 4ply Yarnlings we have DK ones too. These are 10g balls of yarn as we thought that doing 5g of DK seemed too small to be worth it. That means they have approximately 22m in each one - that will vary according to the yarn base though.  Here are some ideas as to what to do with them (aside from just keep them looking cute in a jar)...   Quadratic by David O'Kelly  (Knitting) The original Yarnling project!! This pattern is written for both 4ply and DK yarns. It is a simple squishy triangular shawl pattern...
