My father doesn’t ask for much. So when he does ask, I try to accommodate. This time the request was a little out of the ordinary!
His turtles – ancient deck decorations – needed new hats. The straw hats that they came with had rotted away. Would I knit them each a jazzy new toque!?
These turtles are small and battered and I am sure that they must have many stories to go with them. Now they have a new story….. and new toques!

About letissierdesigns
I am an independent knitting pattern designer. My favourite things to design are accessories. Hats, Cowls, Mittens, Gloves, all styles and many weights!
Designing anything with lace is my passion. Combining lace with other textures is usually my goal, to add interest and depth to the articles created.

I work primarily with natural fibres and love to embellish my patterns. I work to create interesting surface textures with differing stitch patterns and often embellish with beads or buttons.
I have designed for Buffalo Wool Co, Vogue Knitting, Zealana, Malabrigo and others. But mostly I design for myself and my LYS.
I have worked full time at Mad About Ewe Fine Yarns for over 20 years and started my design process as a method of creating patterns that featured teachable knitting techniques. Everything has grown from those patterns.
