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.
“She was born to be free, let her run wild in her own way and you will never lose her.”
This Yuma Accessory set consists of a headband/earwarmer, a short cowl and boot toppers. It uses the diagonal basket weave stitch which has a really interesting texture that you will love.
It is ideal for beginners or as a project for those autumn evenings in front of the tv.
If you are starting to think about your holiday gift knitting then this project is perfect. As it is made using super chunky yarn it knits up very quickly.
The headband is worked flat and seamed, as are the boot cuffs and cowl. The texture pattern of the diagonal basketweave makes for a more interesting knit and a warm accessory set. You could adjust the length of the headband to suit a larger or smaller head, also the cowl could be made long enough for a double loop around the neck but will take more yarn.

These Oak Street legwarmers were first published in issue 49 of Knit Now magazine. The diagonal basket weave pattern is unusual and very effective, but you will soon pick up the repeating pattern. It is achieved by knitting and purling through back loops.
It is a very dense stitch, so try to keep your tension loose. Keep pulling your completed work into place as you go to give the stitches extra definition. Once you are in the rhythm this is the ideal project for working on whilst you are watching the TV.
They are designed to be worn long and loose with plenty of positive ease.
The pair takes 400-500g of chunky weight yarn.
