When you live in a snowy area, snow days are often fun … for a while. The Snow Day hat celebrates that ideal snow day; the kind where the family takes the day off, spends a bit of time playing in the snow, enjoys a cup of hot chocolate afterwards and settles in with their blankets and a movie for a lazy afternoon.
Written in both children’s and adult sizes, this cabled slouchy beanie works well for men, women, boys and girls.
Choose a few skeins of worsted weight yarn from the stash and settle in for your own snow day, complete with a bit of knitting, with the Snow Day hat. If the storm lasts a while, the whole family can have their own Snow Day hat.

The Life’s Little Luxuries Collection is a series of designs that celebrate the little things in life that bring a smile to our face. Named for these little things, each design uses just one or two skeins of a special hand-dyed yarn, making them perfect quick projects for using a treasured skein. The designs will be released periodically, usually with two or three patterns being released at a time. They are priced at just $5.00 each, and will always be sold with a Buy 2, Get 1 Free promotion. No strings attached, no coupon codes, just put three patterns in your cart, and one will be free. Afterall, it is the little things in life that make it special.

You can purchase the patterns as single pattern downloads, or as the e-book. At this point, the e-book is priced at $15 (to reflect getting 3 patterns and one free), and includes the four patterns currently available in this collection. It will remain priced at $15 until new designs are added to the collection, at which point the price will rise to a maximum of $25. Those who purchase the e-book at $15 will receive all future patterns added to the collection without any additional cost, making this a great savings over time.
