Matariki is the Maori name for the constellation Pleiades, and the name given to the Maori New Year which begins at mid winter when Matariki appears in the southern skies. My Matariki is my take on a traditional fair isle pattern and old fashioned sweater style, knit top down and seamless in 8ply/DK wool.

This is a hat for your man to wear under his bike helmet on chilly mornings. Black so he can be cool, soft so he won’t be itchy, possum/wool blend so he’ll be super warm, light and thin so he can roll it up and put it in his pocket when the sun comes out. Cool for girls too of course.

A quick and easy beanie in 3 sizes with Sailor’s Rib detail.

Hetty is a babydoll top for a girl of about 6, or knit it longer and make a dress.
