Clapo-Ktus: Great Shawl, Funny Name

Have you seen Clapo-Ktus, a merger of the ingenious and ubiquitous Clapotis and the equally clever and often riffed-upon Baktus? Borrowing the lacy dropped stitches of Clapotis and placing them in the side to side construction of Baktus, Clapo-Ktus yields a luxuriously-sized, elegant, simple shawl with just one skein of Handmaiden Sea Silk. Cathy knit up our shop sample in Moss in just a few...

Dibdin

If you haven’t been in to see Cirrus, a super-soft and lightweight mohair blend from Berroco, you really should. We’re so impressed with how light and lofty this yarn is and not a hint of itch! Berroco has created this fun, free pattern, Dibdin, a hat in an easy openwork stitch pattern that can be knit up with only two...
