Firefly Tunic
By Mona Schmidt for Espace Tricot
Knit with Classic Elite Yarns Firefly (25% Linen / 75% Viscose), our Firefly Tunic combines a softly draping neckline, drop shoulders, and a longer a-line body in a relaxed summer pullover. The blend of linen and viscose produces a crisp fabric with beautiful drape and a slight sheen. A separate cowl adds flare and versatility! Like Léger (see below), this pattern includes directions for 11 sizes and can be easily adjusted in terms of body and sleeve length. Knit in the round from the bottom-up. Sleeves are knit flat and seamed.

Pattern includes directions for 11 sizes and can be easily adjusted in terms of body and sleeve length. Knit in the round from the bottom-up.
Double-Take Tee
By Mona Schmidt for Espace Tricot
We love how this simple tee turned out. Back and front are identical so decide which colour to wear facing forward based on your mood or outfit! Simple, lightweight, chic – perfect for spring/summer.
Simple Hemp Tote
By Melissa Clulow / Espace Tricot
A great summer tote knit with Hemp for Knitting’s allHemp6LUX (100% Hemp) and finished with a pair of rolled leather handles from Greyson E. As the name implies, this is a super easy project that knits up in no time. It’s worked as a long rectangle with angled corners, folded in half and seamed to finish. Classic in style, the combination of brown, natural, and black makes this a great casual bag that will work with most outfits (and shoes!). Still, we can see this knit in a variety of colour combinations making the most of the beautiful shades available in allHemp6LUX and the various colours of Grayson E. handles (e.g. Brown, Amber, Buckskin, Olive, Red, Black).
Ombre Tank
By Mona Schmidt for Espace Tricot
Knit with Habu Textiles Tsumugi Silk (100% silk) our Ombre Tank is perfect for hot summer days. If you can’t wait, layer it with a tee and you’re set for spring! We used the same technique as the Ombre cowl to achieve the gradation of colours. The fabric is crisp yet soft and supple at the same time and the A-line shaping is very flattering on most body types. Lower body is knit in the round and front and back neckline are kept the same – an easy knit with minimal finishing work.
Chevron Baby Blanket
By Melissa Clulow for Espace Tricot
We modified our popular Chevron Colour-Block Blanket (see below) to create this cheerful and modern baby blanket using Blue Sky Alpacas Worsted Cotton. One skein each of 5 colours. Easy-peasy and fun to knit!
Shadow & Light
By Melissa Clulow for Espace Tricot
While not a unique design concept, this lengthwise scarf/wrap which is knit in-the-round and then “steeked”, uses two luxury yarns we couldn’t resist pairing.
One skein each of Tanis Fiber Arts Red Label Cash Silk Single and Handmaiden Fine Yarn Maiden Hair along with this simple pattern is all you need to create this soft and luminescent wrap.

By Lisa Di Fruscia / Melissa Clulow for Espace Tricot

4 skeins 1810 – (Colour A)
4 skeins 1806 – (Colour B)

Pip
By Mona Schmidt
Pip is a fun knit using only one skein of worsted weight yarn and knit up on rather large needles to get a very drapey fabric.
Knit in Stockinette Stitch Pip has an unfinished, almost deconstructed look, no blocking required!

I’ve made the Pip scarf and it’s a great last minute gift idea. It knits up so quickly and looks so gorgeous, you won’t want to give it away… oh well, then you’ll knit one for the most important person : YOU. And by the way, this yarn is soft and cushy, a real delight to wear.
Wonderful blog ,beautiful store keep it up.the great job girls.
