The Kokkini Beanie is a great project for any level knitter. Simple, unisex, and customizable for any age, it makes the perfect gift. It knits up very quickly; using the most basic of stitches, yet easily looks as if stitches that are more complicated are used.

The Wanderlust Collection is a set of knitwear designed specifically to encapsulate the beauty of the world. The inspiration behind this collection sprouted from the desire that I have to travel; I hope someday to have the opportunity to visit all of these magnificent places. All designs are created with the intention of portraying colors from different cultures and communities across the world.

10% of the purchase price of each purchase from the Wanderlust Collection will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.
