Newfoundland Knits for Little Ones

Inspired by an island culture, designed for children. Not long ago, knitwear made up a large proportion of daily wear in Newfoundland and Labrador -- including how we dressed children for the cold North Atlantic weather. Newfoundland Knits for Little Ones is a tribute to that knitting tradition. Inspired by garments and styles of the past, these patterns take a modern approach to Newfoundland and Labrador knitting, creating beautiful and functional knits that today's kids will love to wear. From cabled overalls to cozy sweaters, a whimsical pixie hat to a sweet eyelet dress, this collection is made for adventurous kids and busy days. Each of the 15 patterns in this collection incorporates traditional elements in a contemporary style with the needs of babies, toddlers, and children at heart.
