The Serendipity Beanie is a classic cable design with a cosy folded brim. Bulky yarn means this design works up quickly, and simple, yet effective twists create an eye catching texture. Comforting cables keep the wearer cosy.

The Driftwood Beanie is a quick, bulky knit beanie, with cables of differing weights to create a stacked texture. Twisting and turning, the staggered cables create a cosy beanie for a cool Winter’s day.

These adult sized socks are customisable to fit the length of the foot and leg to suit the individual.

The Berkshires Beanie is a super quick, super bulky knit, perfect for gift giving. Simple left and right twisted stitches make this pattern engaging and effective without the need for cabling.

The Salem Beanie is a stash-busting quick knit in a fun Fair Isle pattern. The colour combinations are endless! I designed this pattern to highlight beautiful Autumnal colours, however it would work perfectly with anything you have on hand.

The Gloaming Beanie was designed as an easy cable knit that works up quickly and without too much difficulty. I designed this beanie with a simple yet effective cabling to produce a textured effect and yield a cosy Winter hat for my son to go to school in. I hope this becomes a go-to pattern for your gifting needs!

The Mordy Beanie is named for a Bayside suburb of Melbourne where my family have increasingly found ourselves spending leisure time over the 2021 lockdown periods. Mordialloc, called ‘Mordy’ by locals, is a lovely suburb which has a perfect balance of beach, parks, ice cream, and the cafe culture Melbourne is famous for.

The Blairgowrie Beanie is named for the quaint Mornington Peninsula town about an hour out of Melbourne. Driving down ‘The Pen’ is one of my favourite ways to spend a quiet weekend afternoon, and I’m lucky to live so close to the Peninsula. I redesigned my original Blairgowrie Beanie for a worsted weight edition after spotting some amazing pink...

The Black Spur beanie was inspired by where I found some lovely Malabrigo Rasta yarns - in a little yarn shop in Healesville, Victoria. During my trip up to the Yarra Valley region, we took a drive down the ‘Black Spur’ - a journey that weaves through the rainforest with twists and hairpins, climbing through the ferns and mountain ash trees to ...

I designed The Richmond Beanie as a great way to show off your hand dyed yarn skeins. A unisex design was important so that the colourwork of the yarn was the feature, highlighted by the simple slip stitches. So, why the ‘Richmond’ beanie naming? So many reasons. This weekend should be Grand Final weekend in Melbourne, yet the football Grand Fi...

The Melba Beanie has an interesting story to it’s naming. This beanie was a collaboration between myself and the talented Michelle of Dyeing To Knit WA. Michelle supplied a beautiful DK yarn in the ‘Peach Melba’ colourway and, as I was knitting it up, I told her the colour reminded me of scones with jam and cream. This got to chatting about dev...

The Torquay Cowl is a super cozy knit to keep you warm on the coldest of Winter’s days. It is named after the beautiful town of Torquay, the gateway to the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. The ripples of the cowl are reminiscent of the beach and the surf. This cowl follows an easy to remember repetitive pattern and works up super quick using gigan...

The Arcade Beanie pays homage to Melbourne’s famous laneways and arcades. On a particularly cold and gloomy Saturday in Winter in Melbourne, I thought of my most recent trip into the city, exploring the laneways and stopping in at the chocolate shop in the Block Arcade with my son, back in the Summer holidays. This Winter’s day was one of those...

The Beaumaris Beanie is named after one of our favourite places to picnic in Melbourne. Many balmy Summer’s nights have been spent enjoying fish and chips, indulging in ice cream, and paddling in the Bay shallows with our family. There is also something nice about walking on the beach in winter, with it’s moody skies and glassy water that you k...

The Bright Beanie is named after the beautiful Gippsland Alpine town of Bright, in North-Eastern Victoria. Instead of visiting family and friends in the USA as expected in July 2020, we planned a short family getaway to this picturesque town and decided to spend some time in our own state. Bright is a lovely town that is particularly lush durin...

The Great Alpine Headband is a unisex headband full of engaging cablework. I designed this quick knit for our upcoming short getaway to the Victorian High Country, as often I just want warm ears and don’t want to wear a full beanie. The Great Alpine Headband is named after the 300km road that spans East Gippsland and the the Victorian Alpine re...
