The Statement Beanie was written and designed after Statement Junkie's owner and founder Andrea. Nadine with Deanie's Beanie's created a beautiful design and the pattern is for a advanced beginner knitter. It is a super soft, loose fitting beanie. Features include a little texture, beautiful cabling, and a fold up brim for extra warmth around the ears. If the fold up brim isn’t your style, instructions are also included for a regular brim with a little extra slouch. This beanie was designed with one of my favourite yarn bases, Malabrigo Rios, however, Malabrigo Worsted would work beautifully too! The Statement Beanie is bound to make a statement, whether you’re out for a walk, running errands, or sledding with the kids, you’ll be toasty, and on trend!This design was a little labour of love, and I’m so excited to share it with you! I hope you love it as much as I do!* I do recommend knitting a gauge on this one, to ensure your tension is the same as mine, as I knit on the tighter side. *

Continuing on with the series... the Statement Cowl. Nadine with Deanie's Beanie's wrote this beautiful series of patterns for me and it is such an honour to have something so special be dedicated to the friendship Nadine and I have! The cowl is designed with one of my favourite worsted weight yarn bases, Malabrigo Rios. The Statement Cowl is super soft and squishy, with a little texture, beautiful cabling, and it’s extra thick to keep you warm on those chilly days. It’s knit up using 2 strands of Malabrigo Rios (held double-stranded) resulting in a quick, satisfying knit. This design is sure to make a statement; whether you’re out for a walk, running errands, or sledding with the kids, you’ll be toasty, and on trend!

Woollen mittens have long been a Newfoundlander’s best friend. The warmer the better. In a quirky climate of freeze, thaw, blow, and drizzle, good mittens made all tasks easier—to split birch, hammer a nail, gut a fish, draw and haul water, hang clothes on a line, shoot a seabird, or snare a rabbit. Social life, too, always required the finest mittens and gloves. These mittens are as practical as they are beautiful - double-knit with two colours means twice the warmth and wind resistance. The patterns are rated by difficulty and varied in style, including trigger mitts, wristers, five-finger mittens (a.k.a. gloves), fingerless mitts for wee ones, and, of course, classic mittens for all. The dozens of colour photographs will inspire you to make your own bold colour choices. The nuggets of history, and tales of mittens and their knitters, make Saltwater Mittens a book knitters and non-knitters alike can enjoy.
