Sandi style: Makes that celebrate the art of getting cosy
Published on 10 October 2019 3 min read
As the nights draw in and the frost starts to settle, there’s nothing quite like cosying up inside with a blanket, a hot chocolate and your stash. While it’s easy to lust after the summer sun, we think it’s about time we started to embrace the wonders of winter, and no one does it better than the Scandinavians!
Hygge is an attitude of finding joy in every moment.
So, with Scandi style and hygge in mind, we’ve rounded-up our favourite makes to help ease you into the wondrous winter!
Layer up
There’s only one way to dress for the changing weather, and that’s with lots and lots of layers! You need garments that’ll keep warm on an evening walk, that can be whipped off when you get indoors. Lucky for you, Debbie Bliss’s new Winter Whites collection is loaded with patterns and ideas for keeping the cold at bay!
Winter Whites celebrates white in all its glory – from creamy ecru to chalk – and we can’t get enough of it!
Celebrate texture
Winter is the season of gorgeously textured knits – from cable to rib. We adore the brand new Eira jumper pattern by Debbie Bliss, in which texture is the star of the show! Made in a stunning wintry white, the texture of the gently folding cables and deep ribbing look just like footprints in snow. Plus, with its gorgeous rolled neckline and Falkland Aran fabric, it’ll keep you warm enough to get outside and make footprints of your own!
Get the kids set for snow days
It’s the day of the school calendar that every child waits all year for. It’s as infamous as Christmas and as rare as a sighting of the Easter bunny – snow days! There’s little more enchanting than watching the snow fall, and there’s nothing quite as fun as watching kids play in it!
These adorable designs from Millamia’s new Snow Days collection will see children through the winter – from snowball fights and sledging! Get knitting now to prepare for the first sight of snow!
