Soft launching myself back into existence after a summer of doing barely anything productive☀️
Barely knit anything, and for once I actually tried not to knit in my head either - turns out that’s a lot easier when you’re far away from your yarn stash and can’t accidentally cast on a new idea at 11pm 🧶
Instead I ate an embarrassing amount of burrata, drank prosecco by the gallon under the scorching Italian sun, slept in more than I have in years, and gave my kids extra long hugs.
They’re back in school now, which means there’s room for ideas to start flowing again - and to actually try them out.
So here we are, dusting off the account with a highlight reel of me + knits, hoping the algorithm still remembers me after a whole summer of radio silence 🤞🏻

‘Helena Hack Vest / Sweater’ has landed - honestly the coolest knit collab I could possibly dream up 💕⚡️
Designed by the insanely talented .steimann and finished off with detachable sleeves + Sleeve Snaps by yours truly.
Because why choose between a vest and a sweater when you can be both?

I’ve admired Thelma’s work forever, so when she reached out about adding detachable sleeves (inspired by my ‘What The Hack Sweater’) to her new design, I said YES faster than I cast on projects I don’t have time for.

And honestly? This knit is PURE FUN.
Entirely chart-based. Zero autopilot. Full-on knitting sudoku for your brain 🧠🧶
(Translation: maybe don’t pair this one with your favorite sitcom unless you enjoy frogging and emotional damage.)

✨ Wear it with sleeves
✨ Wear it without sleeves
✨ Reinvent yourself every 5 minutes
✨ Become unstoppable

The pattern includes:
🖤 Vest + detachable sleeves
🖤 6 sizes
🖤 English, Danish & Icelandic
🖤 Complimentary pattern with purchase of ‘Sleeve Snaps’

This version is whipped up in 3 strands of Armonia from - BUT my next one will be in Thelma’s dreamy hand-dyed Chunky Baby Alpaca. It’s freshly dyed and waiting for me at her workshop, and I am emotionally unprepared already!
Now excuse us while we attempt to coordinate our busy knit queen schedules for the yarn exchange…..

Your slipover era called… and your mini needs one too 🫶🏻
A kind reminder that ‘Mohair Crush’ isn’t just for adults - the pattern also includes 2 kiddo sizes 🤍🩵
My youngest muse is wearing size A here, styled as the ultimate slipover - perfect for chilly mornings, sunny afternoons, and all the “I refuse to wear a jacket” moments 🙃
This pattern started as a full-blown obsession with mixing mohair shades and creating that dreamy marled effect… but seeing my girls style theirs in their own tiny fashion-editor ways? That’s the real crush ✨

‘Mohair Crush’ is worked top-down in stockinette using 6 strands of Kid Silk Mohair on big juicy needles = super quick knitting and instant gratification. Mix colors for that soft marled look, go solid, or dive into the mohair scrap stash and make something completely your own.
Cast on Friday, wear by Sunday - just the way we like it
Pattern available on Ravelry + www.striksakken.com

🌊So I needed a teal ‘Sashi Vest’ in my wardrobe (to keep the black, red, green and grey versions company🤷🏻‍♀️)
Did I technically need it? No. Did I emotionally and spiritually need it? Yes. 🧶
So I made it. Because that’s the beauty (and slight problem) of knitting your own wardrobe… questionable “needs” turn into very real garments.
Worked top-down in garter stitch with a combo of firm brushed wool (top) + soft alpaca (bottom) from 🧶 The decorative stitches are inspired by Japanese Sashiko - simple, repetitive, and mildly addictive 🪡
Available in 5 sizes + Sashi Vest Junior for the smaller (but equally stylish) humans.
Get the pattern at www.striksakken.com or Ravelry ✨

Is there a knit design you keep making on repeat? 👀

Knitted with 6 strands of Kid Silk Mohair on big needles = instant gratification ✨
Got a stash of mohair scraps? This is your moment!
Cast on now… you could be wearing your own ‘Mohair Crush’ by Sunday 😏

ᵇʳᵃⁿᵈᵉᵈ ᶜᵒⁿᵗᵉⁿᵗ Postcard from Lapland 💌❄️ north of the Arctic Circle, where the days are bright with snow and the nights glow with northern lights ✨
Year 3 of this little Easter tradition… still just as magical. Me doing my thing with knitting, books and hot cocoa while the rest of the crew hits the slopes 🧶☕️⛷️
Après ski = bubbles, reindeer hotdogs over open fire, sauna rituals and late-night whirlpool bath hangs with my BFF and our wild little crew ✨ (since Sara and I met in dance school back in the day, there’s of course a healthy amount of dance improv to properly embarrass our kiddos 💃🏼)
Crisp air, endless white landscapes and us wrapped in our ‘Mohair Crush Sweaters’ in fluffy mohair from Hjerte Garn 💙❤️ And yes… my Helena Hack CoLab with the talented has been on the needles all week - can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on 👀

ᵇʳᵃⁿᵈᵉᵈ ᶜᵒⁿᵗᵉⁿᵗ Meet the ‘Snap Knit Blouse’ ✨
I’ve been quietly plotting this yoke for a while… and I think it landed just right - with the perfect amount of drama ✨ ‘Snap Knit Blouse’ is the newest member of the family of garments that fasten at the neck with the handmade leather ‘Choker’ by yours truely.

If all goes to plan, the pattern will drop by the end of May - just in time for garden party season 🌿🍾�

Knitted in two strands of soft and airy alpaca from , with wide 3/4 sleeves and an elegant, sculptural silhouette… this one is made for moments ✨

ᵇʳᵃⁿᵈᵉᵈ ᶜᵒⁿᵗᵉⁿᵗ 💓My baby sister doing her model thing in her ‘Mohair Crush Sweater’ 💓
This sweater has quietly become my go-to for everything - Soft and cozy for everyday with jeans and a tee underneath… and then it just slips into party mode with dressy pants and a little sparkle.
Casual → chic in 0.2 seconds.
Originally, the design wasn’t even meant to be a whole big deal - just a comfy-but-kinda-fancy solution for the upcoming Christmas get-togethers. But somewhere along the way it claimed its title as all-time favorite sweater ✨

‘Mohair Crush Sweater’ facts:
• Lightweight & airy with a to-die-for neckline
• Knit top-down in 6 strands of mohair held together
• Oversized fit with wide, floaty sleeves
• Beginner-friendly & fairly quick knit
• Made for serious color play - no rules, just vibes

Comes in 5 sizes - my not so little, little sis (6 feet tall!) is wearing size D here.

ᵇʳᵃⁿᵈᵉᵈ ᶜᵒⁿᵗᵉⁿᵗ
Spring layering - at last 🌿
‘Vestedisse Light’ is an oldie but goodie - the perfect little hybrid between a cowl and a vest. Knitted in two strands of soft alpaca in a stretchy 2×2 rib. It gives you that cozy, flexible layer that slips effortlessly under a jacket on chilly days - and works just as well on its own as a minimal vest.
But let’s talk details people…….because that’s where the magic happens ✨ ‘Vestedisse Light’ closes at the sides with leather snaps. The ones shown here are the removable ‘Snaps Mini’ for a snug fit, but you can also choose the slightly longer ‘Leather Snaps’ or go for sew-in leather snaps, depending on the look and feel you prefer.
Because the beauty really is in the details.
Find the pattern and selection of snaps at www.striksakken.com (and on Ravelry) Pattern is as always complimentary with the purchase of snaps. It’s available in 3 flexible sizes - I’m wearing size B ✌🏻

Knitted in Hjerte Alpaca from

Side note 🤍 ‘Vestedisse Light’ was first published in 2022 and has recently been updated. If you bought it earlier and didn’t receive the update, just throw me an e-mail and I’ll make sure you get it.

ᵇʳᵃⁿᵈᵉᵈ ᶜᵒⁿᵗᵉⁿᵗ ❄️ ➡️ 🌱�Spring did that sneaky thing again. One day it’s full Arctic cosplay, the next it’s above freezing and the snow is gone - like winter quietly packed up overnight.
This reel was captured last weekend, back when winter still had a grip on us - and my baby sister was politely but firmly asked to pose in the frosty air wearing her green ‘Sashi Vest’ like an absolute trooper 💚�(Helps that she’s a professional model. Still pretty cold, though.)

‘Sashi Vest’ is the ultimate seasonal shapeshifter.�All winter I’ve worn it sandwiched between shirt and coat.�But now? I’m ready to let it live its best life as an outer layer, sashiko-inspired stitches fully on display when I’m out and about.

Worked top-down in garter stitch and knitted in a combo of brushed wool and soft alpaca from 🧶�Available in 5 adult sizes - plus ‘Sashi Vest Junior’ for smaller (but equally stylish) humans.
Winter may be on its way out, but this vest?�She’s staying firmly in rotation.
