Baby Breton Jumper
Tiam Safari Free Pattern
This tiny little striped baby jumper, inspired by the effortlessly chic Breton knits, is fun to knit for your little one or as a little gift. Fastened at the shoulder with some snap domes, and with enough room to move in and grow into, this is sure to be a firm fave.
Neon Newborn Socks
Tiam Safari Free Pattern
These tiny toe-up neon socks are a perfect, on-trend baby knit for you to whip up. The hardest part? Deciding whether to work them in a block colour, or colour-block them in neons and neutrals. Or do what I did, and make both!

The Mossy

As a yarn-obsessed knitophile, I’m always on the hunt for new and interesting yarns to try. I’m also trawling through Instagram, Pinterest, magazines and blogs for inspiration, and I have a whole lot of exciting things to share with you in the coming months!One of my favourite discoveries is London-based @sincerelylouise, who makes THE cutest, quirkiest faux-taxidermy knit sculptures (if you haven’t checked her out, please do!) She launched a beautiful collaboration with Cygnet Yarns last year – a range of stunning shades in a super chunky, 100% acrylic-but-you-wouldn’t-know-it yarn called Mythically Chunky. Both Seriously Chunky and Mythically Chunky come...
