A SHAWL THAT GROWS WITH YOU (AND YOUR SKILLS)

The Starless Night shawl is an asymmetrical shawl that begins with rows of single crochet, increasing on one side every row. That simple structure makes it approachable, while the lace details keep it engaging ans satisfying. It is especially great for advanced beginners ready for a project that builds confidence without feeling complicated.

Easy to Memorize

Pairing an easy-to-memorize pattern with a beautiful skein of yarn is one of our favourite ways to enjoy time spent traveling, during wait times at appointments, or for quiet breaks at home. Charlotte’s design is the kind of crochet you can settle into quickly; once you find the rhythm, it becomes the perfect companion for those “I have 20 minutes to crochet” moments.

Choose your Yarn Weight: Lace or Fingering

Originally, Starless Night was crocheted in the beautiful SweetGeorgia Merino Silk Lace yarn, which gives the finished fabric an elegant drape and a subtle glow. The deep, inky blue of the original sample feels fitting for the pattern’s name, like a calm midnight tone you can wrap around your shoulders.

With our pattern update, you can now find instructions for both lace-weight and fingering-weight versions. This means you can choose the fabric you want (delicate and airy, or a little more substantial) and use the yarn that best matches your spring-making mood.

Using a fingering-weight yarn, such as our SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock, is also a great way to improve your crochet skills with an accessory you’ll love to wear or gift to a friend.

Spring Colour Inspiration: Let the Lace Shine

Whether you choose a soft, semi-tonal shade or a fun splashy colourway, the lace shines as the perfect background. Bright spring shades can add energy and playfulness, while deeper tones feel classic and dramatic.

If you’re ready to lean into colour, consider something lively and joyful like Rosé Day or Bubble Wand, where every row feels like a fresh reveal as the shawl grows.

Notes

From the original pattern design:
Even in the dark, starless night, peace is found in the simple movements of the crochet hook. The pattern is wonderfully easy to memorize, resulting in openwork that eases out like the sun. This piece is dedicated to our loved ones, who might need a little company on those starless nights.

Three Fundamental Weave Structures (And Why You Need To Know Them)

Image
Do you find yourself fondling fabrics? Touching textiles? Daydreaming of a home or wardrobe featuring your very own handwoven fabrics? How would you go about choosing fabric for your cushion, chair, or skirt, let alone design that fabric yourself? If  form follows function , then let’s start to read our fabrics and understand how different weave structures give us the characteristics we want. Warp and Weft, Under and Over We can define weave structures by the ways the threads pass over and under each other. The  warp  is what is on the loom under tension and runs vertically in the cloth. It is lowered and/or raised to form sheds. The  weft  is what we throw through the open shed and beat in pick-by-pick. The weft runs horizontally in the cloth. The warp runs vertically in the cloth; the weft runs horizontally. Each time the weft and the warp travel from back-to-front or front-to-back of the cloth, they interlace and form a binding point. These interlacemen...

How To Knit a Tubular Cast On

The tubular cast on is an invisible cast on that’s great for hems cuffs and ribbing edges, where you want to have a bit of elasticity. We have both video and written instructions available in this post. Let’s get started! Print How To Knit a Tubular Cast On Author Tabetha Hedrick Equipment 1 Scrap yarn (smooth) 1 Knitting (working) yarn 1 Knitting Needles 1 Scissors Instructions Tubular Cast On Setup Now, to begin, you're going to want to cast on approximately half of the number of stitches that you need, minus one. For example, if the pattern calls for 77 stitches, you're going to cast on 35. If the pattern calls for 19 stitches, I'm going to cast on 10. With your waste yarn, work 4-5 rows in stockinette stitch, ending at the end of a right-side row (you'll be ready to work a wrong-side row in the next part). Cut your waste yarn.

Western, Eastern, and Combination Knitting

No matter if you hold your yarn in the right hand or the left hand, tension it through different fingers, or however… there are even MORE ways to knit. In this video and post, we are looking at Western, Eastern, and Combination Knitting, the foundation of which is looking at how your stitches sit on your knitting needles. https://youtu.be/tVKz02ApsMM In this video, we are referencing the book “ Confessions of a Knitting Heretic ” written by Annie Modesitt and also “ Knitting in the Old Way ” written by Priscilla Gibson Roberts and Deborah Robson. Modesitt’s book and also Priscilla Gibson Roberts’ book talk about how knitting is classified into different methods — Western, Eastern, and Combination. ll of the techniques that I’ve shown so far, English style, lever style, continental style, Portuguese and Norwegian, they’re all considered Western knitting methods. There’s a whole other world of Eastern knitting methods. And we can look at how the stitches are mounted on the needles and...
