Graffiti Park
When Miss Babs – one of my favorite dyers of the planet – asked me to design something for her knitting club, the only possible answer was: Yes! I love her yarns and it’s always a pleasure to work with them.
“Graffiti Park” uses the construction of one of my most popular designs, the “Hitchhiker”: you start with just a few stitches, knit longer and longer rows and make a long triangle that is k nit on the bias. Plus: you can use up all your yarn! “Graffiti Park” features a geometric lace pattern that is easy to knit and has a great effect.
The pattern is now available on Ravelry and in Strickmich! Shop, where you will also find beautiful yarns to go with the pattern.
Concrete Flower
Meet “Concrete Flower” – it’s a swoncho! This cool sweater-poncho hybrid is made out of less than 100 g of a super light, super fluffy yarn and is perfect for traveling with you as it can be tucked away in any small corner of your luggage.
Throw it over when you need a little extra warmth around the shoulders and back, or wrap it around your neck as a shawl.
The yarn “Babysilk Lace” by Kremke Soul Wool is available in many beautiful colorways in Strickmich! Shop, where you can also find the pattern. And the pattern is also on Ravelry, of course!
Liebe Hannah
A shawl for cold days: “Liebe Hannah” is huge and will warm you whenever you need it. Winter may come!
In my sample, I have knit up almost seven skeins of Rosy Green Wool Cheeky Merino Joy. If you prefer a smaller shawl, you will need fewer skeins.
Find the pattern in Strickmich! Shop and on Ravelry. We also have a few suggestions for color combinations of the lovely yarn, that we also carry in Strickmich! Shop.. Enjoy!

Rüsch
Let’s rüsch! This little scarf is so much fun to knit – and will make even the simplest outfit special!
You will need only one skein of fingering weight yarn – use up that special hand dyed yarn that has been sitting in your stash or splurge one a skein that has caught your eye.
The beautiful ruffles are worked by short rows – but don’t worry: I have a video for them, and they are really not hard to do.
The pattern is available in Strickmich! Shop, as well as the stunning yarn we used for the sample (“Vivacious 4-ply” by Fyberspates in Deep Aqua). Also onRavelry!
