This Summer 2026 WanderKnit™
adventure takes us across the rolling emerald hillsides of Ireland with designer Krista Ann.
Knitting in Ireland is far more than a craft. It is a tradition deeply rooted in history, shaped by landscape, livelihood, and community. Along the western coast, generations of knitters transformed wool into garments that offered warmth, protection, and quiet symbolism. Over time, these practical stitches evolved into a visual language, with patterns that told stories of work, hope, family, and resilience. From textured fields of moss stitch to intricate honeycombs and bold traveling cables, Irish knitting traditions continue to connect modern makers to centuries of skill and intention.
Irish Honeycomb Hat
Celtic Coast Bag
Use HiKoo® Madrona DK Tweed two ways in these Wanderknit™ patterns. Create a cozy textured hat in rich green (Irish hills much?!) and a functionally stylish bag in deep gray (oh, those moody clouds).
Recent Travels
This summer 2025 WanderKnit™
adventure takes us to the savannas, rivers, mountains, and watering holes of Tanzania. The hat and scarf set by designer Krista Ann takes full advantage of the soft hand and crisp stitch definition of HiKoo® Madrona DK to create two stylish pieces inspired by the safari experience on the African Serengeti!
Tanzania Safari Hat
If you are planning a safari, one essential item you absolutely can't forget is a safari hat. Whether you're tracking the Big Five or just soaking in the beauty of the landscape, a hat ensures you stay cool, comfortable, and protected, making your safari experience far more enjoyable and memorable.
Tanzania Sunset Scarf
This scarf is inspired by the colors of a Tanzanian sunset and the sharp thorns of the iconic acacia trees that are prevalent all over the African savanna. The acacia tree has lean branches that are coated in large thorns to protect them from animals. Their umbrella shaped crown provides much needed shade for many of the creatures that live under the harsh sun that bakes down on the Serengeti.
This WanderKnit™ adventure finds us in Iceland, among its waterfalls, glaciers, and rich and storied history. This hat and cowl set by designer Light From Lantern uses HiKoo® Sueño to create two designs inspired by traditional Icelandic sigils of protection, meant to keep you warm and safe this winter while also bringing luck!
Protection Sigil Hat
The Protection Sigil Hat is inspired by Icelandic magical staves (galdrastafir), which are symbols credited with various magical effects. Designer Katie Rempe of Light From Lantern created a protection sigil incorporating the number 4 for stability and the Algiz rune for protection, luck, and victory. The resulting symbol resembles a compass, aligning with the intention of providing protection from all directions, making it a practical and magical pattern for any knitter.
Protection Sigil Cowl
The Protection Sigil Cowl is inspired by Icelandic magical staves (galdrastafir), which are symbols credited with various magical effects. Designer Katie Rempe of Light From Lantern created a symbol that reminded her of a compass which with the intention of bringing in protection successfully from all directions. And since a hat and cowl both offer actual protection from the elements, it’s a practical magic pattern that anyone can wear and appreciate, no matter your level of knitting or witchery!
Welcome to
Our WanderKnit™ journey continues with a trip through Mexico! Featuring CoBaSi by HiKoo®, this destination includes surprises inspired by Mexico’s rich culture and history, with patterns inspired by the colorful handcrafted tilework and beautifully delicate lace found throughout the country.
Learn more below!
Talavera Shawl
Inspired by Talavera pottery traditions found in Mexico and Spain, where rich colors are glazed onto an off-white base, this shawl contrasts bold colors in a pleasing manner. The tiles’ patterning tends to be symmetrical and fluid, which is reflected here in the colorwork and eyelet knitting. The Talavera Shawl is knit using the mosaic knitting technique, so you never work with more than two colors at a time.
Encaje Bolero
This lightweight piece is a perfect spring and summer cover up with delicate lace details. Inspired by the lacework edgings found in mantilla wedding veils, the lace patterns make a graceful edge for this otherwise stockinette garment. Available in 5 sizes, this bolero is knit both flat and in the round and finished with eyelet detail at the armholes. The lace elements are only knit in the round making them easy to keep track of and free-from purling!
