I have now included a photo tutorial PDF on how I make my own pompoms if I cannot find a premade one that I like.

It’s never too early to start your gift knitting.

Who doesn’t love sheep? Especially knitters, we are practically best friends. Pick some fun colours and knit your own happy sheep all in a row. And now you can share the sheep love on a hat to match your cowl or simply on it’s own.
SHEEP II COWL

Another simple to knit but amazingly complex looking design. No one needs to know this other than you though, especially if you knit this as a gift.

The stitches are simple because they use the mosaic stitch method of colourwork. You will be working with only one colour at a time in each round. Easy peasy even if you are new to this type of knitting.This pattern is written out in full row-by-row and does not use charts.

This hat is a relaxed slouchy fit.

You can easily substitute with any worsted that will give a suitable gauge.
