We all know Beatrix Potter as the creator of Peter Rabbit and wee beautiful children’s books. But there is a deeper story to Beatrix and her illustrations. Beatrix forged her way in a male-dominated Victorian world to have a career on her own terms and to immerse herself in the things that brought her joy.

This subscription is the pattern-only version of the 2020 Beatrix Box from at Little Skein in the Big Wool and includes:

6 patterns:

• Dawn Henderson: Carrots & Radishes hat and socks
• Anne Vally: Lichen shawl
• Ainur Berkimbayeva: Flourish cowl and tam
• Jacqueline Cieslak: Bandit cardigan

Each pattern is centered around the idea of joy and making one’s own place in the world. If you dive into the work and ethos of the makers involved, you will see a group of amazing women who, each in her own way, is forging a new path in the knitting community. Each designer is paired with a seasonal box that plays to her style, so you receive a stunning pattern during the season you want to knit it.
