Looking for a yarn that works across all your go-to sock patterns? Scheepjes Arcadia is a 4ply (fingering) wool-rich blend that combines warmth and breathability with longevity and easy care. It’s machine washable and softens beautifully with use. In her “Always By Your Side” socks, designer @ailsa.makes.things pairs tonal Arcadia shades 706 Hillier and 702 Bamboo. The stitch definition highlights the paw print motif beautifully 🐾 A fun pair for anyone with a soft spot for four-legged friends. Visit Ailsa's bio for the pattern link. #Scheepjes #ScheepjesArcadia #Sockknitting #Knitting #Knit

How to master the longtail cast on. It starts with a loop, a tail of yarn, and that quiet moment before the first stitch takes shape. It creates a smooth, stretchy edge, ideal for cuffs and necklines. Once your hands find the rhytm of thumb and needle, it begins to flo, setting the pace for everything that comes next. Ready to cast on? #tutorialthursday #knitting #learntoknit #knittingtutorial #newknitters

Are you finding your rhythm? 🎵 With a few rows behind you, the flow of Beautiful Noise starts to settle in. The peaks and troughs begin to take shape, echoing the movement of sound waves as your stitches build. This MAL is inspired by music, so tell us what’s playing while you crochet. Are you stitching along to something chill, or turning the volume up with upbeat tunes? Share your favourite tracks in the comments and keep the rhythm going together! #ScheepjesMAL #BeautifulNoiseMAL #Scheepjes #TunisianCrochet #MartinUpNorth

The Sunset Wrap by Scheepjes Designer Collective member Mette, is worked in overlay mosaic crochet using simple, repeated stitches. For this glorious sunset-inspired colourway, she chose Scheepjes Cotton Whirl in Spellbound (735) and Sunspell (741), plus Scheepjes Whirl in Shrinking Violet (558). Start now and have it ready for your summer holiday! 🌅 You can easily make it your own by switching up the three gradient colourways. Choose any combination of Cotton Whirl and or Whirl you like. We’d love to see a version in our three new special edition Birthday Whirls. 🎂 Visit Mette’s bio @mhlcrochetdesigns for links to her Ravelry pattern store.

Astrid’s Homebound blanket Going home…  Whether you are going home after a long day’s work or travelling to your childhood home for a family celebration, or perhaps moving to another country to make your new home, “homebound” always has good feelings of anticipation.   This blanket is made in interlocking crochet, and the pattern comes with instructions on the technique itself, plus photo tutorials on how to get started and how to make the colour changes.  The finished size is approx. 1,55 x 1,60m.  I used Scheepjes Stone Washed, 803 Black Onyx for the drawings, and many colours for the rest.  A list of all colours used is included in the pattern, as well as how many grams of each, and added a “colouring page” for you to create your own colour scheme. Link to pattern in bio.   #interlockingcrochet #scheepjesdesignercollective #scheepjes #scheepjesstonewashed #astridschandy

We love our handmade socks… but even they deserve a day off. Today is International No Socks Day! Time to let your feet breathe and enjoy the cool floors underfoot and the soft, fresh blades of grass. Going barefoot is also a simple way to reconnect with your surroundings, a small pause that can lift your mood and help you feel a little more grounded. If fully barefoot feels like a step too far, Christa @thecuriocraftsroom has the perfect in-between. Her Barefoot Sandals have no soles, so you still feel every step 🦚 Made using Scheepjes Catona, they’re ideal for using up those smaller balls in your stash. Visit Christa's bio for links to her pattern store.

Today’s Tutorial Thursday is all about the knit front and back increase, also known as a bar increase. Knit into the front of the stitch as normal, then, before sliding it off the needle, work into the back of the same stitch. Just like that, you’ve created an extra stitch. A handy technique when shaping socks, shawls, top down sweaters, or bottom up sleeves. Ready to give it a go? #tutorialthursday #knitting #learntoknit #knittingtutorial #knitting
