SILVATICA CAPTURES THE


FEELING OF THE FOREST
ON A FOGGY NIGHT

Denizens of the witching hour, meet your knitted soulmate.


Silvatica captures the feeling of the forest on a foggy night.
Starting with the roots of the trees, then working up the trunks
to moonlight peeking through the uppermost branches, all the
layers of the forest are celebrated in this garter stole. Mohair is
worked alongside ITO Urugami’s special wool and paper blend
to create a satisfying but still lightweight fabric that we love for
cooler weather. Contrasting mohair strands define forest shapes
with a technique similar to intarsia, its fluffy and luminous
fibres blending all the while for a misty, moonstruck effect.

For those whose lightleader is the sun, rather than the moon,
we cannot wait to see the daytime forest palettes you compose.
A fantastical forest of psychedelic colours would also be a
showstopper, or an evergreen forest enrobed in a thick blanket
of fresh snow. All the palettes of your favourite forest will work
here, in any climate and weather. Whatever you can dream,
you can make real here!

S K YWARD

SKYWARD IS AN ICONIC
AUTUMN PULLOVER

Daily routines can reveal profound teachings! This quarter’s issue


developed during lockdown walks to and fro, and the slow noticing
of how trees reach down into the earth while simultaneously
stretching up to the sun. For Yiğitcan, the bare branches of late
autumn offer a sense of promise and regeneration as they witness
the cycle of the seasons. Even beneath gloomy skies, trees’
seemingly dormant bare branches stand strong in preparation
for springtime leaf buds and sunny days to come.

Skyward is an iconic autumn pullover. Worked top down and in


the round, the yoke forms in a textured stitch pattern of interlaced
tree branches constructed using cable methods. The worsted-weight
yarns we chose are soft, round, and pleasingly squishy to create a
springy and substantial fabric for chilly wanderings and warm
evenings in. Make your own Skyward as a reminder that, even
when life feels slow and bare, we are preparing for the coming
phases of life.

STARG ROVE

STARGROVE IS AN UNCOMMONLY
HEARTFELT HAT PATTERN

Some years ago, the women of Tyra’s family attended her uncle’s
wedding wearing outfits specially made of the same star-motif fabric.
The gesture demonstrated to all in attendance that they were
members of the groom’s family and in full support of the union.
This issue’s theme drew Tyra’s mind to the supportive power of
roots in all their forms, from her own family roots to the mottled
pink and brown roots of a tree.

Trees form family units in much the way people do. Stands or groves
of nearby trees interlink their roots below ground to balance one
another’s nutrient production, communicating via an underground
network of mycorrhizal fungi that live on their roots. When one
member of a stand or grove is struggling, other members divert
some of their own supply to keep the sick one going.

Stargrove is an uncommonly heartfelt hat pattern. It deftly combines


knitting and crochet, starting with knitted ribbing before moving
into a knitted mosaic technique for the body. The crown and decreases
are then worked upward in crochet to enclose the hat in a canopy
of star stitches, referencing the fabric worn by Tyra’s family members.
Enrobe yourself in loving protection.

C LADONIA

CLADONIA IS CAT’S ODE TO LICHENS


AND THEIR POSITION BETWEEN THE
LIVING AND THE DEAD

Between the roots and branches of a tree, a whole cycle of life


plays out. Notice the lichens sprawling from branches to forest floor,
returning to the earth the leaves, branches, and accumulations that
would otherwise pile up as high as the trees themselves. Even as
lichens release nutrients back to the soil, these silent marvels are
filtering harmful substances from the air. They form from fungi and
algae to create tiny but resilient symbiotic creatures which can endure
everything from arctic cold to desert heat with lacy lines intact.

Cladonia is Cat’s ode to lichens and their position between the


living and the dead, their range of shapes and colours (lichens can
even be used for dyeing!). Worked top down and in the round with
smooth fingering-weight yarns, Cladonia harbours its own quiet
wonders. Short rows create a comfortable fit at the back neck and
can include colourwork if you wish, easing the transition to the yoke
of embedded lichen formations. Optional folded hems and cuffs let
you choose your favourite finishes, and a lettering chart is included
if you’d like to add a secret message to yourself along the hem.

The genus cladonia are the moss-like lichens. The next time you
see them, pause to say a word of thanks for all the work they do
in silence.

SAKNES

SAKNES MEANS ‘ROOTS’


IN LATVIAN, ZANETE’S
MOTHER TONGUE

Look at roots for long enough and you’ll notice their balletic strength
and movement. They grow and stretch, sprawling horizontally to
weave around obstacles great and small in search of nourishment.
They are seemingly independent but trace back to a single tree,
coordinating their efforts with the other members of their company
in a choreography of wood and soil.

The cables skimming this cardigan’s front mimic the gnarled beauty
of roots sprawling across the surface of the soil and Saknes means
‘roots’ in Latvian, Zanete’s mother tongue. The design’s textures draw
on roots’ apparently random and chaotic activity, which is always
governed by an internal logic. We adore how the elegantly graduated
cable sequences are emphasised by the smooth and evenly dyed,
worsted-weight Merino yarn.

The construction moves top down, working the upper back first
with shoulder shaping by short rows and optional waist shaping
to let you customise the fit. Upper front pieces are worked from
picked-up stitches and shaped with increases. The fronts and
backs are joined beneath the arm and worked straight down.
Sleeves are picked up and worked down last. This construction
results in a nice amount of structure that sits well on the shoulders
while also being easy to adjust to your perfect length.

BROCÉ L IANDE

OUR BROCÉLIANDE’S CLASSIC


VIBES MAKE ANY OUTFIT FEEL
EXTRA SPECIAL

The enchanted forest of medieval European legend gives this


headband its name. In the Arthurian tales, the likes of Morgan le Fay,
the Lady of the Lake, and Merlin knew Brocéliande well. Other stories
of the time describe it as a mysterious home for fairies and mythical
creatures, where magical occurrences were a matter of course.
The spot is commonly associated with a dense and massive forest
in Brittany that still exists today, albeit much diminished in size.

Our Brocéliande’s classic vibes make any outfit feel extra special.
The vintage-feeling waffle texture is constructed with simple slipped
stitches that are knit flat until the piece is just right for your head,
then the special knotlike closure is created by seaming the ends
together. The chainette and Merino fluff yarn we’ve chosen creates
an otherworldly halo effect, which you could recreate with a
similarly constructed yarn or with a smooth yarn held alongside
a strand of mohair or suri alpaca from your stash. If you aren’t
into having a halo, a smooth yarn would also work!

Enchanted forests are popular elements of folklore and fairy tales


around the globe. The shadowy and mysterious terrain hosts long
journeys into the self, where fears are confronted away from the
demands of everyday life, and profound transformations occur.
But what awaits you here and now, as you make your stitches?

ALSIA

M OS S ES A RE DEEPLY S YMB OLI C


OF PEACE AND STILLNESS

Old tree trunks enveloped in a thick carpet of emerald moss were


the inspiration for Alsia, especially the way the angular structure and
sharp lines of the trunk remain evident beneath the moss’ softening
textures. This crocheted pullover looks simple at first, then reveals
itself to be a symphony of structure and textures. To achieve this,
Alsia is worked flat and in pieces, then seamed and finished with its
distinctive standup neckline. The joined pieces offset one another’s
subtle differences in the directions of their rows and lines.

We’ve borrowed Alsia’s name from a moss known in California,


where Reed lives, and where moss can be a divisive subject among
gardeners. Some view it as an unsightly weed on a grass lawn but others
cultivate it slowly, encouraging it to flourish in full moss gardens.
Mosses are deeply symbolic of peace and stillness because they
absorb sounds and form slowly in calm and undisturbed environments
like ancient forests, where you can find trees blanketed from root to tips.

Whatever your aesthetic views, our tree friends are greatly helped by
verdant mosses, which protect and feed them. Mosses break down
forest substrata to release nutrients that trees can easily consume,
and mosses absorb plenty of water to regulate soil moisture. Plus they
safeguard the wellbeing of the roots by preventing soil erosion. In the
tree’s own ecosystem, those tiny mosses are star players. If a rolling
stone gathers no moss, we’re quite happy to sit still.

OVE RS TORY

OVERSTORY’S MEDIUM WEIGHT MAKES IT


JUST RIGHT TO STASH IN YOUR POCKET OR
BAG WHEN AUTUMN DAYS BEGIN TO CREEP IN

Trees are sympathetic beings. Just as their roots actively respond


to one another, so do their branches. Crown shyness is the
phenomenon of treetops growing synergistically alongside their
neighbours’, leaving a narrow boundary of space between one
another’s branches. These gaps ensure that each tree’s branches can
move independently and don’t snap against one another in a storm,
but they also help to prevent the spread of harmful insects, encourage
one another to better photosynthesise, and let light down to the life
forms occupying the lower levels of the forest. Nature’s own social
distancing helps the residents of the forest community to survive
in close quarters and even to flourish!

The overstory is the top layer of the forest, made up of the green
crowns of the trees. Viewed from the side, the branches of the trees’
crowns appear to interlock, even as they leave space for one another.
The upward-reaching branches’ stacked appearance is reflected in
this hat’s cable pattern and elegantly defined in a crisp but soft
Merino and Targhee sportweight blend. Worked from the bottom
up in comforting ribbing and straightforward cables, we find projects
like this gratifying to make as they knit up over just a few evenings
and look so impressive.

Overstory’s medium weight makes it just right to stash in your


pocket or bag when autumn days begin to creep in. Or maybe this
could be a good one to make for a friend or neighbour who has helped
you get through the pandemic so far feeling whole. After all, where
would we be without supportive neighbours and loved ones leaving
us space to breathe?

SOANA

WHERE MOST CABLE-KNITS ARE CRISP


AND DEFINED, SOANA MAKES A FEATURE
OF SOFTNESS AND DREAMINESS INSTEAD

Get ready to put your head in the clouds! Soana refers to the
northern Italian Alpine river valley where Denise lives, which is
also home to an important nature reserve. As with many Alpine
valleys, a characteristic fog becomes trapped between the mountains
and settles among the trees, its humidity combining with the rich
river valley soil to nourish a lush and ancient forest of chestnut,
beech, and pine trees.

Where most cable-knits are crisp and defined, Soana makes a


feature of softness and dreaminess instead. On full display in this
pullover are the atmospheric, swirling textures of fog among pine
boughs as trees cascade down the sides of the valley, recreated
here with a rippling field of wide brioche cables worked in a loose
and fluffy alpaca yarn.

Soana follows a standard top-down and in-the-round raglan-sleeve


construction for body and sleeves, then is finished with flat front
and back hems worked separately, and a cloudlike cowl neck.
With softness like this, you’ll want to bundle yourself up all through
the cold months and imagine an alternate treetop dream life.

CR AF T I NG
FROM THE
ROOT(WOR K)

The practice of Hoodoo, also known as


African-American folk magic or ‘rootwork’,
has been present in my life since childhood,
even if it wasn’t always identified as such.
Little things, like specific recipes, accessories,
even perfumes were a part of the craft.
All these things that were very specific,
but perpetually unnoticeable to the uninitiated,
built the foundations of magick* as a regular
practice around me.

words by Dawn Henderson

* Editors’ Note: Practitioners of rootwork use


‘magick’ to distinguish their work from the
popular magic associated with party tricks
and illusions. This form of magickal herbalism
is distinct from medicinal herbalism.

drawing intersections between these two crafts and

handmade mojo bag (though that project is definitely
in my queue). Most times, it’s little actions that
are largely unnoticeable, but still valid in their
intentions and power. And at its core, that’s what
magick truly is.

A super simple way to introduce a little magick


into your handcrafts is by way of water. Water
is often one of the most powerful, and in many
places, most accessible magickal tools available.
For many crafters, water is generally used at some
part of the crafting process, whether in the
preparation, duration, or finishing. What could
happen if you replaced your normal tap water
with solar or lunar-charged water? What kind of
intentions would that introduce? A glass jar sat out
to capture the energy of the sun or the coolness
of the moon, and in turn used in your crafting
process would, no doubt, yield magickal results.

What would you see if you zoomed in

The problem with microplastics – and plastics
in general – is that they are not biodegradable.
Instead of decomposing, they break down into
smaller and smaller particles with the help of
water, wind, biological processes, or light. This
means they are persistent and they accumulate,
polluting our global environment.

Some plastics are produced as microplastics to


be added, for example, to cosmetics and hygiene
products. The tiny beads in face scrubs are often
microplastics. They are also sometimes added
to toothpaste or shower gels, meaning a single
shower can release up to 100,000 microplastic
particles into the water system.

TO MAKE CHARCOAL
YOU WILL NEED:

- Dried plant materials


- A tin with a lid
- Garden shears if your plant materials
need to be trimmed down
- An outdoor fire

TO MAKE INK
YOU WILL NEED:

- Watercolour medium (liquid gum


arabic - this helps the pigment particles
suspend in the water)
- An amber bottle with a lid
- Water
- A glass slab and muller or pestle and
mortar to grind down the charred
plant materials
- A palette knife

All of these are available at a standard


art supply store or online.

Make your own artist’s supplies from natural


materials found around your home, neighbourhood,
or wider community. This technique can be used
to make charcoal from most dried plant materials
- give it a try with whatever you can find in your
landbase. I used grape vines, roses, and blackberry
brambles. The grape vines were old woody branches
that a friend trimmed off her vine at home, the
roses were a gift from my partner that I dried after
they were past their prime, and the blackberry
brambles are an invasive species in my landbase,
so a great material to harvest and use. The blackberry
bramble was super sharp, so I used a knife to
strip the thorns before bringing it home.

THE PATTERNS

The yarns featured in this issue work brilliantly


for their respective patterns and we love them,
but they are not the only options! We frequently
substitute yarns when making patterns for
ourselves and encourage you to try other options,
especially yarns already in your stash. There can
be lots of reasons for using a different yarn to the
one listed in the pattern; some yarns aren’t easy to
obtain either because they are dyed or produced
in very small batches, or perhaps because they
aren’t local to you. Budget considerations are
also important as many yarns are not financially
accessible to every knitter who wants to make a
pattern. Substitutions can be daunting, but if you
keep the following two things in mind, you’ll be
on the right track:

- The ratio of yarn ball length to the weight of


the yarn. This means the number of metres/yards
to grams/ounces. If your yarn’s ratio is similar to
that of the yarn called for in the pattern, your yarn
will usually be the right thickness to get gauge.

- Yarn characteristics. Choose an alternative


with similar features to the yarn listed in the
pattern. Check if drapey fibres like silk or
alpaca are involved, or more structured wools.
Also check how the yarn is spun: springy and
smooth or inelastic and fuzzy. This will ensure
you’re working with something that will have
a similar drape or structure to the yarn used
in the original design.

We are now listing more specific yardage


requirements with our patterns to help you
decide exactly how much of an alternative
yarn you will need. If you have any doubts
when substituting, ask for help! We encourage
you to engage with the expertise of your local
yarn shop. You are also welcome to join our
forum on Ravelry, where other Pom knitters
and staff are always around to share ideas with.

Notes: Silvatica is worked flat in Garter stitch.
One continuous strand of yarn A is held
throughout, either alone or held together with
one strand of contrast mohair yarn B, C, D or E,
as indicated on the colourwork chart.

On some RS rows, the contrast mohair yarn will


need to be transported as indicated on the chart
in one of the following ways:
Weave yarn: *K1, move the contrast mohair
strand to the front, k1, move the contrast mohair
strand to the back; rep from * for required
number of sts.
Float yarn: Knit first stitch with both strands,
floating the contrast mohair strand along the
back, *lift the float onto the LH needle and knit
it together with the next st, k1; repeat to end of
“floated” section.

Always drop the contrast mohair strand to the


front of the work, ready for the next row.

CLADONIA
by Catherine Clark

Notions: 3 stitch markers (including one unique


for beg of round), stitch holders or scrap yarn,
taspestry needle
Notes: Cladonia is a top-down pullover knit in
the round. There is optional colourwork during
the short rows in the back neck.
The cuffs and hem have an optional folded facing.
If you decide to work the hem facing you can write
a little note to yourself by using the technique
described in the pattern, or in duplicate stitch after
completing the hem facing. A chart of the alphabet
is provided in the digital edition (see download
code on inside cover) so you can create your own
message. Chart A and Charts H 1-3 are worked
flat; all other charts are worked in the round.

Stitch Glossary
3x1 Rib (in the round):
Round 1: [K3, p1] to end.
Rep round 1 for pattern.

ININC: Slip one st as if to purl, then with the


LH needle, coming from behind, pick up the left
leg of the st in the row below the st just slipped
and knit it through the back loop. 1 st inc
Note that this increase affects the stitch count like
a kfb increase: it turns 1 stitch into 2, unlike a yarn
over or make 1, which create a stitch from nothing.

German Short Rows:


Create DS: Bring yarn to front, slip the first stitch
as if to purl, bring yarn over the needle to the
back of your work and pull tight (it will look like
a double stitch = DS)
Resolving Double Stitches: When you encounter
the DS on subsequent rows, work DS in pattern,
inserting needle through both legs of the DS and
treating it as one stitch.

PATTERN BEGINS

Using shorter 3mm circular needles and yarn A,

Notes: Alsia is worked flat in pieces from the
bottom up and seamed. Hem and cuff ribbing is
worked lengthwise to desired width, then stitches
are worked widthwise across long edge of ribbing
to desired length. Decreases shape the shoulders.
Shoulder detail is worked across decrease edges,
with additional decreases for back and front neck
shaping. Shoulders are joined before starting the
collar, which is worked directly around neckline,
back and forth in the round, to the desired height.
Collar is then folded in half to inside of work and
the edge is loosely stitched down to secure. Be sure
not to pull yarn tight when stitching to help keep
neckline stretchy. Sleeves are attached to body
before seaming side body and sleeves.
Garment as written is hip-length. For a more
cropped garment, begin back/front shaping sooner.
For a longer garment, work more rows before shaping.
Sleeves are designed to be full-length. If a shorter
sleeve is desired, work fewer rows between
increases to ensure full number of increases is
completed. For a closer-fitting sleeve, work a
smaller sleeve size. For a looser-fitting sleeve,
work a larger size. If working a different size sleeve

GINGER PUDDING
(SERVES 2)

- 80g (3 oz / 5 tbsp) ginger, skin on


- 275 ml (3.5 cups) full fat organic milk
- 1 tbsp caster sugar

1. Finely grate the ginger and squeeze the juice


from the pulp using a muslin cloth (or through
a fine mesh sieve) into a bowl. This should give
you 3 tbsp of juice which will look starchy –
like a creamy yellow. Pour 1.5 tbsp of ginger
juice into each serving bowl.

2. Pour the milk into a pan and add the sugar.


Gently heat the milk to 70°C (158°F),
while stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Remove from the stove.

3. Holding the pan of milk about 10cm (4")


above the serving bowl, pour half of the milk
onto the ginger juice. Repeat for the second
serving. The reason you need to pour from
a height is to make sure the milk mixes
properly with the ginger juice.

4. Without stirring or disturbing the bowls,


let the mixture set for 20 minutes.
Then transfer to the fridge for an hour.

GINGER SYRUP

- 15g (0.5 oz / 1 tbsp) ginger, sliced very finely


- 30g (2 tbsp) yellow rock sugar, or caster sugar
- 100 ml (7 tbsp) water
- Goji berries optional

Combine ingredients in a pan and simmer


for 10 minutes or until liquid reduces to
about half the volume. Set aside to cool.

A S S E M B LY

1. Remove the puddings from the fridge about 20


minutes before serving to take the chill off them.

2. Dress with ginger syrup, a slice or two of the


ginger slivers and a few goji berries (if using).
And serve!
