Purl & Jane Bell Beck Jumper
£4.50
Bell Beck Jumper - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
This simple garter stitch jumper is perfect for beginners or those who are knitting their first baby garment after a while away from knitting. There have been lots of knitters like that who pop into Purl &Jane’s Skipton studio, most have been away for about 30 or 40 years.
This is a great jumper to start with because it is only two squares and then once you’ve knitted them and got your mojo back then the simple increasing on the sleeves will seem easy to do.
Garter stitch is one of my favourite stitches, and one that some overlook calling it “too basic”. However it’s the simplicity that makes it so beautiful, especially when knitted in a gorgeous yarn.

Jane Crowfoot Magic Circles Blanket
£6.95
I love looking at how shapes fit together and had wanted to create a tessellating circle design for some time. Circular motifs can be tricky to fit together and it is common to find the circular shape becomes slightly distorted when motifs are pieced together, so rather than create motifs that are square or octagonal, I have designed cross-shaped infill pieces that protect the shape of the large circles.
When making the small infill circles you are asked to make a magic loop to start.
You can find a technique download that explains how to do this by following this link.
Instructions on how to add surface crochet can be found by following this link.
The pattern includes a clear layout plan and a chart is also included for reference when joining the small circles.
Finished blocked measurements: Approximately 117cm (46in) x 117cm (46in).

Baa Ram Ewe Ribblehead
£5.00
Ribblehead - Alison Moreton
The design for this beautiful cardigan is inspired by the Ribblehead viaduct with the view of the landscape framed by the archers of the viaduct. The soft halo of Titus is used to create a gradient of hills and sunset sky, applied to the collar and cuffs of a close fitting yoked cardigan. Worked in a modified slipped stitch colourwork technique, only one colour is used in each row. An alternative option uses a single strand of Dovestone in one colour instead of the double strand of Titus.
Featured yarns: Titus, Dovestone

Baa Ram Ewe York Minster
£5.00
York Minster - Alison Moreton
A blanket inspired by the stained glass windows of York Minster, with three size options. Featuring four jewel coloured shades of Dovestone DK contrasted with dark grey borders in Coal. Constructed from garter stitch squares that are easy to make, requiring only knit stitches and simple increases and decreases: this a perfect project for beginners.
Sizes small (medium, large) are 68x79 (90x112, 112x134)cm / 27x31 (35.5x44, 44x53)".
The blanket shown uses 1 skein each of 5 colours of Dovestone DK: Coal, Rhubarb, Chevin, Lotherton and Parkin. There is very little left over, so if you want to make this size using only 1 skein of each colour make sure you knit exactly to tension (you can use your tension square as one of the blanket squares!).
For a small (medium, large) blanket you will need 1 (2, 3) skeins of Dovestone DK in each of 5 colours/ 320m (640m, 1280m) of DK weight yarn.
You will also need a 4mm/US 8 circular needle, minimum 80cm/32" length (you can knit the squares on straight needles if you prefer, but a circular needle is required for the border).

Purl & Jane Bempton Tank Top
£4.50
Bempton Tank Top - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
Those of you that know my patterns will be very familiar with the stitches I used on the Bempton Tank Top….it is the same stitch pattern I used on the Bempton Jumper and then on the Bempton Mittens, which started out as a mystery retreat project!
I love this stitch pattern, it looks more complicated than it is. I’ve always loved a cable jumper but I wanted to give my cable jumper a little more detail than just cables. So I added a moss stitch panel. The Bempton Jumper is knitted in aran weight yarn and the Bempton Tank Top is knitted in 4ply weight yarn. I am loving how the same pattern looks so delicate in a 4ply weight yarn compared with an aran weight yarn.
As I have mentioned before and before and before (!!) I love designing simple easy to knit patterns. One that the knitter can just sit and relax with and to this end I’ve put one of my front neck edges on this tank top. It is so simple to knit yet looks very classic.
