Discover the Block Island Knitwear Collective through this book featuring 11 new, original designs. Each designer in this group of talented students from Deborah Newton’s Knitwear Design Workshop has created a unique hat inspired by Block Island. The collection consists mostly of knitted hats (including a beret!) but also features a brimmed cotton summer sun hat worked in crochet. Using yarns ranging from fingering to bulky weights, these hats showcase a wide variety of techniques, including colorwork and mosaic knitting.

Whether you prefer sophisticated single-color designs, or multicolored creations employing slipped stitches or stranded knitting, you’re certain to discover hats in this collection that suit your style.

All profits from the sale of this book will be donated to The Nature Conservancy’s Block Island Bird-Banding Station through August, 2025.
