Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I wanted an easy, simple skullcap for my newborn son, River, and I wanted it to fit for his first couple of months, at least. A gorgeous, soft yarn combined with top-down construction yielded the perfect infant hat. Fold cuff up for younger babes, leave cuff down as your wee one grows!
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
My son started calling his first hand-knit pair of socks his “Special Socks.” Recently, he asked for more Special Socks. Who am I to resist his charm? Now you can knit Special Socks for your own Jellybean.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Use your preferred gauge to make a great pair of socks, utilizing every bit of your special hand-painted yarns or using scraps with contrast toes, heels, and cuffs!
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Just in time for Halloween! Celebrate autumn by adorning your little one’s head with a pumpkin!
Crochet: Cowl
So I have trouble resisting a good (ok, bad) pun. It’s seriously cold, and I find myself looking for soft, warm, natural fibers to wrap around myself! An oddball gift skein combined with my -40⁰F weather yielded this beautiful and simple neck warmer. Enjoy!
