Kōpekapeka is Te Reo Māori for zig-zag. Textured all over using only knit and purl stitches, quick to finish, and genuinely fun to wear.

Āio is the Māori concept of peaceful unity between land and sky. Leaf-like lace repeats that settle into a rhythm quickly. Works with a single 400-yard skein.

The lace pattern runs all the way to the crown, where the decreases close it into a small star shape. Delicate, free, worth every row.

What if contemplation isn't idle but essential? A free asymmetrical shawl pattern and a reflection on burnout, slow living, and reclaiming your own mental space.

Makariri is Māori for winter, and this shawl earns the name. Oversized garter stitch with lace and colorwork stripes across 3 yarn colours. Good for the kind of knitting that takes all season.

I started this pattern in 2021 during my hardest year, then set it aside. Picked it up again after healing. Inspired by Ka Mua Ka Muri: the Māori proverb about walking backward into the future.
