Thursday Pattern Profiles! - This Week: Cotton knits!

Now that Spring is hitting most of the Northern Hemisphere (ha!) the days grow brighter, temperatures rise a little bit higher and after a long cruel Winter, we tend to shed our layers.  Does this mean it's time to give up our favourite yarny craft? NO WAY!

Spring and summer yarn trends mean working with soft, drapey cottons and linens or perhaps hemp and bamboo yarns.  (All of which We're Twisted happens to carry, ahem!)

Why not whip up some adorable hats for yourself or your little ones?  Perfect for the beach or when playing outside...  (Click on the photos if you're interested in a particular pattern.)

Ok so this next one isn't a hat, but it's too adorable not to include... Imagine your baby;  toddling around in the garden, butterflies circling around her head and her laughing in delight, as she keeps cool in this little number... (work with me people!)
