Non-crafters may think we’ve lost it, but we know our community of makers will understand what we mean when we say socks are absolutely the best gift you could receive — at Christmas or any other time of year. And so we are so happy to be able to give that gift to our our lovely, loyal Loop lovers this year in the form of a wonderful pattern by beloved former Loopette Emma Brace!

We love December. A season of giving and receiving, of creating warm and fuzzy feelings even though the temperatures are plummeting, of light and love and bustling streets and fitting in time for everyone you love — and maybe an extra mince pie. Above all, it’s a season of knitting!

We had some exciting deliveries at Loop last week, including some more La Bien Aimée yarns for our gorgeous new On the Spice Market Shawl Kit! We also restocked some of our other popular kits like Tiny Tassels in La Bien Aimée Cashmerino, the La Bien Aimée version of Pop Spots and the Siren Song Shawl Kit.

Say hello to our newest free pattern, the Melted Suri Beanie, a little Christmas gift from us! Our Melted Suri Beanie uses just one skein of yummy Qing Fibres Melted Baby Suri yarn, which is beautifully soft and very lightweight. With a blend of alpaca, merino and silk, this yarn is a dream to work with. With sizes for babies through to an adults large, this hat is perfect for everyone in your family (and you too)!
