In The Snow Queen, a splinter of enchanted ice lodges itself in a young boy’s heart, turning warmth into coldness and drawing him into the Snow Queen’s frozen world. His friend Gerda sets out to find him, traveling through winter landscapes and meeting strangers who offer help in small but meaningful ways. Her journey is long and often uncertain, guided not by magic or power, but by love, perseverance, and trust.
This is a story about how gentleness can endure even the coldest seasons — and how warmth, once carried, can be shared.
Hygge knitting is about embracing comfort, presence, and ease. This month’s featured project, the Sophie Shawl, reflects those values beautifully through its simple garter stitch fabric and soft i-cord edging.
Paired with The Snow Queen, a winter fairy tale rooted in Denmark, February becomes a month of warmth, shelter, and steady progress — both in story and in stitches.
February’s hygge knitting highlight is the Sophie Scarf by PetiteKnit.
This pattern features:
Try holding multiple strands together, such as two strands of fingering-weight sock yarn plus one strand of mohair, for a plush, cloud-like fabric.
Hygge knitting isn’t about learning something new — it’s about choosing stitches that feel good in your hands.
This month’s focus:
Pick something familiar. Let the process be the pleasure.
February’s Stitch & Story explores Danish hygge through cozy knitting and winter listening. We’ll share The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen alongside comforting stitches, featuring the Sophie Shawl by PetiteKnit as our hygge knit highlight.
Join us for Stitch & Story on Tuesday, January 6 at 6:15 PM (Central), a relaxed Zoom gathering where we listen to a Nordic folktale and stitch together from the comfort of our own spaces.
This month’s story, Jack of Sjöholm and the Gan-Finn, is a winter sea tale about survival, careful making, and the urge to rebuild what failed. We’ll pair the listening with Fisherman’s Rib, a slow, rhythmic stitch well suited to cozy, attentive making.
Bring any portable project, make a small swatch, or simply listen along. Cameras on or off — tea, blankets, and knitting encouraged.
