The Cherished Pullover is a child's size 2 - 3 pullover sweater, knit using traditional fair isle techniques. It makes an excellent first fair isle project as there is only one background colour to contend with. As well, the small size of the project makes it a fairly quick knit while still requiring the knitter to use all the traditional techniques (knitting in the round, steeking at underarms and neck, etc).
The pattern includes several full colour photographs of the sweater as well as detailed charts. It will be emailed as a pdf file. If you prefer a paper copy one can be mailed to you. However, an extra charge will be incurred for colour printing and postage (a quote can be given via email).Finished Garment Measurements:
- Circumference: 29 inches
- Underarm: 7 1/2 inches
- Length: 13 inches
- Sleeve Length: 9 inches
Inspired by "The Golden Compass", this hat is a replica of the one Lyra wore in the North. Written in four sizes from preschooler to adult and is knit with two strands of super bulky yarn or six strands of worsted. This is a fun, quick knit to keep you warm. Pattern available for free.

Cozy Canuck Chullo
Winters here in Canada can get awfully frigid. Keeping the kids warm during all that cold weather can sometimes be a challenge. We seem to have the biggest issue with hats. Fleece hats, so popular in children’s clothing stores, fill my girls’ hair with static. The wind blows through most regular knitted hats giving them “ice cream headaches” and my eldest daughter hates having her ears exposed to the elements.
This “Cozy Canuck Chullo” is the solution to all our winter woes. The ear flaps and long ties are quite stylish and the hat looks equally cute with the ties left open as it does with them tied snugly under the chin. The fair isle pattern is not only cute but makes the hat double thick and eliminates that biting wind. Knit in the round with only two colours per row, it is a simple, quick and fun knit.
