Knitting: Pixie Hat
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I designed this luscious little hat for a friend, who wanted something a little different to the usual range of baby hats. The pattern is clearly laid out with photographs and charts for the stylised bee pattern, small Fair Isle motifs and star crown. I have added a written pattern for the crown for those who find it easier when decreasing.

The rib also provides the option to fold back to show a plain rib. I used Rowan Felted Tweed, a soft and...

The inspiration for my Fuchsia designs came from the window box at the front of our house, which delighted our neighbours this summer.

Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
These beautifully soft stretchy gloves are quick to make and a 25gm ball of Rowan Alpaca Merino is just enough to make one pair of short rib gloves. Two balls will be needed if you are making the rib longer. alternatively you can use Drops Air which is a 50 gram ball.
