We’ve made it — summer has left us, and it’s now time to wrap ourselves up in cozy blankets and comfortable clothes to stay warm.
As for me, I’m definitely on team big blanket — soft loungewear from head to toe and thick, woolly socks. In fact, this is the perfect season to start knitting pair after pair of socks.
This time of year also marks the return of Christmas movies on all the French TV channels, along with a flood of festive films on Netflix and every other platform. As a huge fan of those heartwarming stories — the kind where we already know the beginning, the middle, and the end before even pressing play — I love to curl up in front of one with my knitting needles or crochet hook, keeping extra warm under my blankets.
It’s truly the best moment to start knitting a whole range of accessories: gloves, hats, socks, scarves. Here are some inspirations:

Mohair scarf pattern - coming soon by MAJO GARN!
And apparently, this year’s “ugly Christmas sweater” trend is all about jacquard patterns! Which means endless possibilities for creating and adding fun motifs to all your projects.
Whether it’s for gifting or for yourself, we’re officially opening the season of intensive knitting!
