2026 Shop Patterns

Turned to Stone Hood

The Turned to Stone Hood is a cozy cover-up for your head and neck. It features snake-like cables reminiscent of Medusa, the famous Gorgon of myth whose serpent-covered head turned mortals to stone. The hood’s unique construction makes it a fun knit, and the softness of Fiona Kay Knit’s Outlaw DK yarn will make you never want to take it off.

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Medusa Cowl

While Medusa’s head inspires fear, her tail is much safer—and more beautiful—to look at. You can sport a scaly look of your own with this fun-to-crochet cowl! The Medusa Cowl is composed of two panels: one features shell stitch, and the other uses crocodile stitch to mimic Medusa’s scales. And it's all done with just one skein of Schoppel-Wolle's Zauberball Starke 6!

This pattern is available on Ravelry.
