Mihaly by Amanda Kaffka

 

We are all completely enamoured with Amanda's gorgeous new scarf design.  Not only is it cozy and warm, but it is also sophisticated and stylish. Mihaly comes in 2 size options, a large and long shawl version, and a slim and long scarf version.  A subtle striped pattern is created using three different colour ways adding interest and panache. The far left scarf version is knit using Diamond Luxury Baby Alpaca Sport, while the far right version is knit with Viking Eco-Alpaca.  Front and centre is the shawl version featuring Diamond Luxury Baby Alpaca Viva.  Congratulations, Amanda!

Chicane, a unisex cycling cardigan by Cookie A. is a fabulous gift for him.  Sporty with extra long sleeves and a slim fit, it is perfect for cooler mornings or evenings.   As a unisex garment, there are plenty of sizing options, so once you finish one for him, you can make one for yourself!  Rowan Heritage Tweed DK, Berroco Vintage, or Cascade 220 solids or heathers would all work well with this pattern.  Madelinetosh Vintage is another great option and a new shipment is currently on its way!  Two other fabulous unisex sweaters from Brooklyn Tweed include an Icelandic sweater, Grettir by Jared Flood, or Guston Henley, a textured yoke sweater by Ann Budd. 

  

 

 

 

  Churchmouse Basic Sock pattern is a classic - straightforward and comfy.  With a fingering and dk weight option, choose which best matches the man in your life, or better yet, make one of each weight for warm and cool days.  Suggested yarn for the fingering weight is Louet Gems, and for the dk weight, Rowan Felted Tweed is a great choice.

 

 

 

What man wouldn't want a 100% cashmere toque?  Super soft and easy to make, Devin's Toque is a perfect last minute gift for a special father.   

 

Happy Father's Day!
