Raggedy – 282

Designed by Cap Sease

Raggedy Ann is an iconic character initially created in 1915 as a doll, and introduced to the public in the 1918 book: Raggedy Ann Stories. Her brother Raggedy Andy was popularized a couple of years later in a sequel; and their adventures have charmed children ever since. This cheerful pullover, worked from side to side, appeals to boys and girls alike. The play of color created by working with Spinnery Ragg-Time yarn creates bright multi-hued stripes that can include every color in the paintbox!

Tosh – 274

Designed by Maureen Clark

Our favorite scarves are voluminous to wrap up into and have no “wrong” side to complicate styling; and our preferred patterns look more complex than they are to make. This woolen scarf is made doubly warm by being two-sided (a trick easily accomplished not with double knitting, but by working in the round and blocking flat). And it features two-color stranded knitting made more sophisticated thanks to the variegation in the Ragg-Time yarn used as the main color. Finished with a crocheted fringe edge, this scarf doesn’t take itself as seriously as it will be able to keep you warm.

Your Irish is Showing- 279

Designed by Maureen Clark

This cropped pullover modernizes the classic Aran sweater with some contemporary styling ideas. When worked in a lighter weight yarn for a more fluid fabric, and designed with a fun up to date length, this sweater is transformed from a Fishermens’ knit into a more relevant garment that may become your new classic.

Snowy Woods Sweater – 273

Designed by Cap Sease

This pullover recalls the designs of the early 20th Century Bohus Stickning knitting collective of Sweden. The interplay of brown, black and grey with the white reminded Cap of woodlands on an early winter’s day.
