Welcome and thank you for stopping by to have a look at my new pattern!

Please enjoy 15% off the pattern with code: HOMESTEAD15

Valid until end of day Nov 3, 2024 / Cannot be combined with any other offer.

The concept of Homestead embodies this drive to use everything. Each precious scrap used to alchemize something useful.

No chicken is cooked without making a nourishing broth.

No plant is sown without harvesting seeds.

Well loved clothing is mended, passed down or repurposed.

Homestead Throw is a delightfully scrappy pattern perfect for using special leftovers and those beautiful single skeins you just needed to have!

The Throw is worked from the center out and features 9 different coloured stripes. I have included some tips and tutorial links to help with your knitting journey as well as blocking instructions.

I am so excited to share this with you all and I hope you find it to be a nourishing, meditative and satisfying knit.
