It's been a while since my last blog post due to a number of 'emergency giftings' so I've been knitting, crocheting and dyeing like a maniac! I did find the time to design some patterns and this crochet beret is making it's debut!
I find that lots of crochet berets are quite two dimensional, and unless you use super bulky yarns, or complicated puff stitch patterns, you don't get much warmth! This Winter Crochet Beret pattern employs a simple ridge stitch that creates air-pockets that trap warmth and has a lovely ribbing across the hat. The instructions are quite straightforward that a beginner can easily create this hat in a weekend... and the addition of elastic at the brim will make sizing much easier if you have a smaller sized head!

Knit up a pair of these toasty leggings to keep your baby's legs and toes warm this coming winter! You can use a single coloured yarn for classic tights, or get creative with some self striping sock yarn for a touch of whimsy!

NOW AVAILABLE AT THE STORE!

Knit a pair of Daisy Stripe Shoes with this bluePRINTS original design! They are a modern twist on the traditional mary-jane, and can be customised in a myriad of ways with simple chain embroidery! 

These gorgeous shoes are my original design with pretty chain stitch embroidery on the toe region. Girly daisies paired with stripes in a contrasting colour give these shoes a dainty, yet modern style. The addition of handmade clay buttons gives the shoes yet another style dimension!

I came across the Knit One, Save One campaign in one of the knitting magazines and whipped up 10 little hats to contribute towards the Save the Children 50,000 knitters target!
