This collection is all about my favorite things: knitting, handcrafting, families, gardening, and nostalgia. Our family has recently returned to our roots by growing some of our own food and spending more time outside with one another. I’ll bet many of you are doing the same. There’s a peaceful saneness in it all, as we reconnect with our basic needs.

With this collection, we also honor five American yarn companies: Bare Naked Wools, Quince & Co, Brown Sheep, A Verb for Keeping Warm, and Madelinetosh. We are fortunate in this decade to benefit from the revival of American-grown fiber, and these companies produce some of the best. I love knitting with these yarns! We hope you’ll try them for your own Homegrown Hats!

All patterns tech edited and tested. Updated 7/6/2019.
