Common Cap – 221

Designed by Kate Salomon

Vermont hospitality extends to having extra layers available for winter visitors. We designed this hat with ribbing that will stretch comfortably to fit heads 19” – 24” in circumference. Wear it slouched, as a cuffed watch cap or somewhere in between. Add a fun pop of color, or stripes, to personalize each hat and use up leftover skeins. Knit one for every member of your family and a few extras just in case!

West River Wrap – 220

Designed by Cap Sease

The West River in Guilford CT is a tidal river meandering through marshes before entering Long Island Sound. Its ever-changing ripples and eddies as the tide ebbs and flows inspired this wrap that is a combination of cables and lace.

Jenness Pebble Socks – 219

Designed by Maureen Clark

Top – Down

I just fell for this little pattern stitch, It reminds me of all the little pebbles and shells along the coast. It also adds a hint of laciness and an excellent cling that a sock needs to stay up!

Double Stuff Mittens – 218

Designed by Cap Sease

Inspired by mittens seen in Estonia, these mittens lined with alpaca and wool will keep your hands toasty and warm on the coldest of days. Make them your own by embroidering a design on the mittens before working the lining. When knit in Weekend Wool without decoration, they make a sturdy, everyday mitten. Mountain Mohair makes a slightly dressier mitten.

Pictured in Glacier Lake Mountain Mohair or Poppy Weekend Wool with Cream Alpaca Elegance inside both.
