In between all this Pattern Book hype, we don't want you to forget that the builders are still very busy here at Toft. The yarn store has been safely relocated and is getting fully stocked for the Christmas rush. Now that's out the way we can push on with the development with the floors going in this week. The first real bricks went down today- it is all getting a bit exciting. We are still full steam ahead for January.

Meanwhile we are off to the Newbury and Berkshire Show this weekend. Come and join us at what is a great show with plenty of real agriculture- not just shopping! Our final agricultural show of the year, and penultimate outdoor show. Malvern Autumn Garden show next weekend completes the season. For all our show dates see

The Plait Hat

A heavyweight hat knitted in our Toft Chunky Yarn. Rated as 'intermediate' difficulty, it is on two needles rather circular like many of our designs. With a 'helmet' like structure this is a very warm winter hat that is very popular with snowboarders.
