Jason's Cashmere Hat

Melissa Thomson · November 22, 2015

Jason's Cashmere Hat

I can hardly believe that it has been almost five years since I first designed Jason's Tweed Hat, and that there are over 1000 versions of it out there! The basic double brimmed hat has served him well over the years, but I thought it was about time for something new. During his last visit home from work in Northern Alberta I designed him a new cabled cashmere hat to keep him warm and toasty this winter. It's important to me that he has a say in the things I knit him, and so as we caught up on our month...

Golden Pear

Golden Pear

Golden Pear is a sweet little baby hat I put together for a friend after being inspired by the colours currently in my knitting basket. As I knit samples for our booth at the upcoming Stitches West show I’ve noticed I’ve been on a bit of a colour theme. Lately I haven’t been able to get enough of the crisp greens, golden yellows and spicy oranges. Golden Pear will be on display throughout Stitches West in our booth (#1041 & 1043). I hope you enjoy this free pattern and I look forward to seeing the many colour combinations you’re sure to come...

As the cold weather quickly approaches here on the Canadian west coast I find myself craving colourful chunky knits. Being an avid knitter of Malabrigo yarns I often collect pairs of beautiful skeins in irresistible colourways. Rasta has been no exception. The way this yarn takes colour is incredible and the luscious softness of the finished item makes it perfect for against the skin. With InstaCowl the simplicity of garter stitch and genius of Malabrigo’s colours come together  in an effortlessly beautiful quick knit. Easily completed in less than a weekend this project makes a perfect last minute gift or wardrobe addition for the cold months...

Jason's Tweed Hat

Jason's Tweed Hat

    As the rain quickly melts last week’s snow away the promise of more still lingers. For future cold days I designed Jason a thick and chunky hat with a folded brim for extra warmth. He works outside at a local airport near the water where he wears the simple blue hat I made for him last winter. It’s becoming rather worn and only half covers his ears so I thought it was time to make another. There’s something beautiful about a Berroco Blackstone Tweed hand knit. The subtle flecks of tweed and a soft angora bloom makes for...
