The Tilly Tee is knit flat in pieces. The front and back are seamed at the shoulders and sides; stitches are picked up around the neckline and armhole edges for finishing. This one is made with Berroco Iris.

Coralline embodies effortless summer style, pairing an airy chevron lace pattern with the gorgeous hand-dyed colors of Tillie by Berroco. Knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed, Coralline has a wonderful balance of soft drape and structure.

The Corran Cardigan is an all-over lace cardigan, knit from the bottom up with drop shoulders. There are two neckline options: round and V-neck and two sleeve lengths.
This pattern can be knit in a wide variety of fibers making it a perfect transitional piece. Ours is made with Sea Isle from Plymouth.

Sylven strikes the perfect balance between effortless wear and timeless charm. The delicate lace border adds a graceful touch, while the short sleeves and well-shaped fit make it a versatile choice for any wardrobe. Designed to flatter all sizes, Sylven is a go-to piece for warmer days—light, breathable, and endlessly wearable. Ours is made with Noro Sonata.

Luminous Summer is a simple tee worked from the top down. It has minimalistic finishing with a row of eyelets delicately framing the face. It has a unique placement of short rows that shapes the neck without disrupting the neckline. This cropped tee uses very little yarn, making it the perfect project to indulge in exquisite yarns.

The Kylie Pullover is knitted by starting at the back from the top down to the base of the armholes. Then, both fronts are picked up and knitted separately, working from the top down to the edge of the front neck. After joining both pieces, the front is worked to the armhole, and then the front and back are joined and knitted in the round down to the hem. Pick up and knit for the sleeves. Henny used Zooey from Juniper Moon Farm to make this one.
