There is nothing more rewarding than making a hand made gift for a loved one;
especially when you know it will keep them cozy and warm.
Aiden's Hat, made in Happy Feet DK and Encore DK
(My favorite touch is the whimsical braided ties!)
This hat can be made in adult size as well by using a heavier yarn, like Encore Worsted or Galway. Aiden’s hat, knit by Mary, is knit in Happy Feet DK and Encore DK.

Selina’s coat inspired me to write a blog entry about it.
Pea Coat in Worsted Merino Superwash, color 8
The pattern is from Shirley Paden’s book Knitwear Design Workshop.
Selina used a lighter weight yarn than what the pattern originally called for to make a smaller size. I love how the buttons work into the cable patterns, making a sleek,chic finish.
She even added pockets to her design-
