Hi lovelies! I'm back this week with one of my favorite types of blog posts – a favorite patterns post! I dug deep into the archives for this one as I wanted to combine our current sale (5 EUR for print copies of our back issues and books!) with my desire for more, more, more summer tops and tees in my wardrobe.
The funny thing? I set out to pick patterns from all the publications we still have in print, and ended up picking three from one: BREEZE. Oh well!
I paired them with some of my favorite shades of summer yarns - and one of them (can you guess which one?) is waiting to jump on my needles right now:
Solène's Piteraq Top is the tank top of my dreams: Well-fitting at the underarm, broad straps, a strong geometric lace panel on one side of the body. Solène originally designed it in a silk-blend yarn, but I think it would look just as lovely in De Rerum Natura's Antigone!
Hellébore, one of their nine new shades, is an almost-perfect match to the sample color. So beautiful! Depending on the size you choose, you need 3 (3, 4, 4, 4, 4) balls of Antigone.
Sadly, my dear friend Am doesn't design anymore - when she still did, she always came around with the most intricate, yet wearable designs possible! Sahel is no exception to this - a super popular silhouette, combined with delicate-yet-striking chevrons. Fantastic!
Wooldreamers' Saona, their new cotton / wool blend, would be a great fit for this pattern. The colorway Sarichef echoes the soft taupe tones of our original sample. Depending on the size you choose, you need 3 (4, 4, 4, 5, 5) balls of Saona.
Last, but very certainly not least, one of my all-time favorite T-Shirt patterns we've ever published! Rebekka Mauser's Marin is a drop-shoulder tee with subtle texture, a just-deep-enough V-neck and a delightful two-colored i-cord for the finishing touch.
Again, Antigone would be perfect for this! Graphite, a new dark grey, is super similar to our original sample. Écume (another new color) would be great as a contrasting color for the i-cord. That being said, you only need a tiny amount of it, so if you have a contrasting color in your stash that you think works well, by all means, use that! Or just omit the contrasting color and do a one-color i-cord.
Depending on the size you choose, you need 3 (3, 3, 4, 4, 5) balls of the main color and 1 ball of the contrasting color.

Hi lovelies! The sun is out here in Berlin, and what better day to talk about one of the most joyful issues we've ever done than a brilliant sunny winter day – meet Issue 13, Confetti & Rainbows!
In Issue 13 – our Spring 2025 Issue – we want to play! Confetti and rainbows, unusually and unconventionally interpreted in 12 new knitwear designs – a journey through color, shapes, texture and materials.
Confetti made out of dried flowers, collected over months from bouquets and the road side. Sparkly rainbows, light reflecting. Gentle textures and shapes, echoing the different forms confetti can take. An unexpected rainbow around the corner, on a brick wall, painted in broad strokes.
Hi lovelies! I am back today with a wonderful behind-the-scenes interview with Caroline Frett, a super talented illustrator from Berlin, who is the heart and and hands behind the new look we've been sporting for a little while.
Caro also has a shop for her delightfully cheeky and (sometimes brutally) honest T-Shirts, postcards, and mugs. (I am particularly fond of this T-Shirt and this postcard!)
I am so excited Caro agreed to an interview to share her thoughts and work process, and what she especially loves about our rebrand!
