This hat was designed following a visit to my LYS. As soon as I walked into the shop the skein of yarn caught my eye, and try as I might, I just couldn’t walk away from it!
This is the same as how I feel about Robin Hood’s Bay, which is why I named the set after this beautiful part of Yorkshire. I am drawn to the place, again and again. The pattern reflects the pull of the sea in the dramatic colour, the plains of the North York Moors in the sections of stocking stitch as well as the dramatic cliff edges in the lace.
The hat is a beret/tam style; the shape combined with the lightweight wool means it has an interesting drape. It is big, loose, light and airy which is perfect for the transition the weather of spring brings to the UK. There is a matching scarf which is ideal for beginners to lace.
The skein was West Yorkshre Spinners Exquisite (80% Falkland wool, 20% mulberry silk) in colourway Savoy 371. Both the hat and the scarf can be made from one skein.
The Spring in Robin Hood’s Bay Boho Hat pattern is knitted with yarn from The Knitting Goddess. I used her 4ply Britsock yarn, linked below, and it’s a dream to work with. The colour range is fabulous and you should check out her gradient sets. I love to promote British yarns whenever I can, so do let me know your favourites. I blocked my hat using a large dinner plate to show off the beautiful crown and give it the distinct Tam shape.

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.

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.

I designed Baby Fedora Photo prop set for my step-grandson to wear in his first ever professional photo shoot. His mum wanted something cute and memorable.
The shorts can be worn either with or without braces, the tie can be made as either a traditional shape or a bow tie. The hat is designed to look like a little Fedora. Your little man will look simply adorable in this set.
Designed to be worn by a newborn to 3 month old baby to be photographed in rather than everyday wear, this set only comes in one size which is purposefully oversized. Photo prop clothing sets are becoming more popular with parents when having their baby’s professional photos taken.
The finished set consists of hat, bootees, shorts and two tie variations. It takes around 180g of DK weight yarn with some optional contrasting yarn for the bootees and the brim of the hat.
The pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knitted. It also includes a schematic for the shorts and hat.
