Overview

A collection of Newfoundland-inspired knitting patterns for children. Navigating the seasons in Newfoundland and Labrador is tricky. Is T-shirt weather in December possible? Yes! Snow in June? Also possible ... as is everything in between. In this type of climate, knitwear is a year-round staple. This collection of patterns for children is inspired by the need a for a flexible, practical wardrobe -- a wardrobe suited to the wide range of outdoor activities enjoyed by all ages: fishing, jumping in the leaves, catching capelin, hiking, beachcombing, berry picking, sledding, and so on. Little Island Knits features 17 patterns inspired by traditional elements of Newfoundland and Labrador knitting and designed for the typical east coast day. This includes a mix of garments (sized newborn to age 10) and accessories (sized newborn to adult). All have been developed with functionality in mind for young children as they grow and play; some are fresh takes on vintage styles from the author's own childhood. Little Island Knits also includes contributions from Shirley Scott (""Shirl the Purl""), co-author of the best-selling Saltwater Knits series.
