Introducing our latest free pattern, the Cecelia Cowl! This beautiful knit uses almost an entire ball of Freia Super Bulky Ombre so there are minimal leftovers, plus it’s extra cosy! Make sure to read to the end of the post to find out how you could win one! Created exclusively for Loop by Rachel Atkinson, designer, tech editor and long time friend of Loop who was inspired by Cecelia Campochiaro’s book ‘Sequence Knitting’ – hence the name! Many thanks to Rachel Atkinson for the pattern, Susan Cropper for styling and Kristin Perers for her stunning photography.

Some marvellous mohair and merino is back on our needles courtesy of Quince & Co! Introducing Ibis, a chunky version of the airy lace weight Piper.

Happy New Year! We hope you’ve all had happy holidays and are looking forward to a new year of yarns, patterns and lots of quality knitting time!

It really was a joy to watch this talented artist, but don’t worry if you missed it, you can relive it all again!
