Printed Pattern Book
Pattern design by Jessica Anderson
A gentle story of forest friends unfolds across this collection of knitting patterns for children and beyond.
Inspired by the beloved world of Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne, each garment has been thoughtfully designed around an individual character, bringing warmth, personality, and quiet charm to every piece.
Lovingly presented as a printed booklet, the collection includes delicate illustrations and carefully chosen quotations, creating a pattern book that is as meaningful to hold as it is to use.
Designed using AppleOak FibreWorks’ naturally dyed Softwool (now Olann Bhog), these patterns highlight the softness, resilience, and beauty of sport weight yarns.

• 3 sweaters

Criosta ~ single printed pattern**
With a mesmerising sense of movement to its mesh-like horizontal lace, the Criostal shawl invokes the flow of water from crystal-clear mountain lakes to bubbling forest streams.
Worked sideways, using a basic lace repeat and simple increases and decreases, this intricate-looking shawl is surprisingly easy to knit, and to adjust in size. When worked at the specified yarn weight and gauge, a single skein makes for a mid-sized, gauzy, lightweight shawl which can also be styled as an elegant scarf. For best resemblence to the sample, work this shawl in a solid, semi-solid, or lightly variegated yarn, with some silk, ramie, or linen content. Criostal is Irish for ‘crystal,’ and is pronounced similarly to the English.
