I designed this beret for one of my running friends, Elaine; she had requested that I make her a red beret. This was at the same time that we were away for a double parkrun over the New Year. We weren’t in Scotland, but someone that she knew seemed to think we were. From then on this particular trip become affectionately known as ‘Elaine’s Scottish Run’.
The hat is a tam style with a providional cast on and double brim ribbed section. The stitch count is then increased for the main body before swirling decreases at the crown.
The samples were knitted in Stylecraft Special DK (100% acrylic) in colourway Burgundy 1035 and Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk DK (75% Merino, 20% silk, 5% cashmere). Or choose your own favourite DK weight yarn. The pattern comes in small, medium and large.
Produced with huge thanks to my tech editor – Tabitha Thomas Studios and my wonderful test knitters.

The Boho Beret is knitted in the round and comes in three sizes for the brim. It has written and charted instructions.
The Elderwood Walk Beret pattern is knitted with dk weight yarn. You could substitute any soft dk weight yarn. I I used 4mm needles but if you wanted a drapier fabric, you could go up to a larger needle size. You might use more yarn, so allow for that when choosing your colours.
As always, when I’m knitting for the knitworthy members of my family or dear friends, I consider how they’re going to wear it, wash it, the colours they love and what styles they wear. In this case, it’s for me and I saw this yarn and felt it was perfect for the hat and cowl for the Elderwood design, it’s machine wash, soft and a stunning colour.
Edith is one of three shrugs in a set, using the same basic shape but worked with a different type of knitting stitch. These shrugs are perfect to pop over your shoulders when you are watching TV, relaxing on the sofa or to cover up a little when sitting outside. The super chunky wool will keep you warm, even on the chilliest of evenings!
They are mainly knitted in a rectangle, from the bottom up. There is a little shaping at the back of the neck using short rows. The arm holes are made at the end by folding the edges together and sewing them up just part of the way. As it uses super chunky weight yarn the shrug will knit up quickly. Perfect if you want to whip up a quick gift for a loved one! The Edith shrug is knitted with the diagonal basket weave stitch. This is a really eye-catching stitch which looks more difficult than it is. The pattern uses 750g – 800g of super chunky weight yarn.
It is knitted bottom up, with set in sleeves and the band down the front and round the neck are picked up and knitted. The stockinette stitch makes it perfect for a variegated yarn but would also look fabulous in a plain colour.

This super soft sleepy baby snuggly set set consists of a baby sleeping bag and matching hat. It buttons at both the feet and neck allowing you to make those nighttime changes with minimum disturbance.
It was designed for my step-daughter who is expecting her first baby. She wanted a sleeping bag as it is easy for a baby to kick off a blanket but should stay nice and warm in this.
It is made in Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky which is the softest feeling yarn, perfect for bedtime cuddles. The bag uses a circular needle as it is knitted in the round with some sections knitted flat.
The hat uses either a circular or straight needles, whichever you are happy with as it is knitted flat and then seamed at the end. The top of the hat is worked as an i-cord and this is where you will need dpns.
The set takes around 150-300g of chunky weight yarn.
