Ohmu Shawl Pattern

Meet the Ohmu Shawl, a cute little accessory I designed last summer which turned out to be homage to one of my all time favorite artists Hayao Miyazaki. It’s a fast and fun knit that combines garter stitch with a contrasting color bobble row. While knitting the bobble row I realized how much it reminded me of the Ohmu from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and that’s how the pattern got its name.

This was a fun knit that traveled with me on many road trips last summer. I used 1 skein of Maiden from Ritual Dyes and part of a skein of Perennial from Kelbourne Woolens for mine and just love how simple it is to style this one! I totally get why skinny scarfs are so popular.

Bulky Photographer Hat Pattern

We may be in the middle of what I lovingly call fools spring here in Pennsylvania but a few days ago we were in the middle of an arctic blast with wind chills that not even my warmest worsted hat could compete with so I decided it was time to make my favorite hat in bulky yarn. Like the sport weight and worsted weight before it, the Bulky Photographer Hat is also a free download.

I knit mine in Manos del Uruguay - Cardo and it knit up so quickly that I knit a second one for my friends at Wild Hand for the Philly Yarn crawl in their exclusive shop Plump color way. Download your free copy today!
