The Always Lovable Collection is CosyMonday's tribute to slow fashion, creativity, and craftsmanship. The collection is designed to give new life to leftover yarn, surplus yarn, and exclusive materials that deserve a new story.

At CosyMonday, we believe that true luxury is about quality, personality, and garments that are worn and loved – not about buying more. Therefore, the Always Lovable Collection invites you to create something no one else has, with yarn you already own or discover anew.

Each finished garment becomes a small piece of craftsmanship with its own story.

XS (S) M (L) XL

Base yarn

Bella by Permin and Mini Alpakka from Sandnes Garn.

Approx. 12 (13) 15 (16) 17 skeins of 50 g, depending on size.

For the dots

Use leftover yarn in various qualities such as mohair, wool, cotton, alpaca, metallic, or gold thread. The combination of textures and colors makes each skirt unique.

You can also assemble your own yarn pack from Garnspesialisten, which offers surplus yarn from the fashion industry – perfect for the Always Lovable Collection.

Needles

• Circular needle 6 mm (40 cm, 80 cm, and 100–120 cm)
• Needle 4 mm for cast-on
• Double-pointed needles 3 mm for I-cord belt

O – The Skirt is knitted top-down. First, a double waistband with a channel for an I-cord belt is knitted. Then, the skirt is built up from six panels that gradually increase in width. Garter stitch details, organic color shifts, and hand-knitted dots create a flowing silhouette with beautiful movement.

The construction makes it easy to adjust both length and expression along the way.

The pattern is designed to make leftover knitting inspiring, clear, and fun. You get clear explanations, flexible yarn suggestions, and great freedom to add your own touch to the design.

No two skirts will be exactly alike – and that's part of the idea.

At CosyMonday, we believe that the most beautiful garments are those that are used for a long time. O – The Skirt is designed to inspire slower consumption, more creativity, and greater love for craftsmanship.

The skirt combines Scandinavian minimalism with bohemian elegance and shows how small yarn scraps can turn into an exclusive garment with personality.
