There is nothing more satisfying than whipping up a little hat for a newborn baby, lovingly made with all the optimism and joy that new life brings. This simple hat can be knit quickly and easily, and can be on your newborn’s head before you know it.

Hearts are great for any occasion and season. Reflecting emotion and care, they are ideal as gifts or decoration, making a statement or just plain pretty. It could be a pin badge, keyring, mini bunting or motif.

One of the first things you see when you walk into Yankee Yarns is a gorgeous crocheted table cover. In beautiful jewel colours with matching coasters dotted around, it really draws you in for that welcoming cuppa.

We all love a heart, good for any time of year and purpose. This pattern gives you a lovely puffy heart, perfect for gifts or treats.

We love to send special cards to special people. We also love cards with badges and other things that you can keep, so started designing our own little items that people could enjoy and keep. And what better scene than a seasonal knitty or crochet work in progress?

My good friend Janet makes these gorgeous pixie hats to raise funds for, and awareness of, research into kidney disease in Manchester Terriers, an issue very close to her heart. And in making them for various sized pets, we even have one for a child and an adult-sized head, so the whole family can be decked out in matching hats!
