Out now new pattern release……….

Update…..
Over the past few weeks I’ve been exploring WordPress and it’s it’s plug-ins and how to modernise the look of Dizzy Tyke Designs web page along with ensuring all purchases are fast and secure. So your going to see a few changes around the site.
I’ve started to add Haberdashery and Artisan Cushions to the site.
So come in and have a look around ….
Many of the fabrics I use for cushions and applique are end of role or repurposed new products ( e.g excess store stock such as new curtains or throws), along with fabric sample books from stores that are replacing. This style of material sourcing enables me to minimise production costs and to put perfectly good materials back into the production cycle in this throw away world. However, this does mean there may only limited stock / production of each material combination.
New Knitting Patterns Coming Soon….
The Birtsmorton is a child’s cardigan that gives warmth whilst keeping individuality and fashion that can’t be ignored. It has a wide boat neck and shaped front panels. The cabled sleeves and edging create detail without overcomplicating the finished look.
Recommended to be knitted on 5mm (US 8) needles.
Whilst the sports weight Brinksty is a simple yet stunning shawllette, perfect for any occasion. It,s created with a tweed effect stitch, shorts rows, a contrasting scolloped border and a single button. Having a shorter length in the back makes it ideal for sitting or an extra layer on long journeys.
Anything else I can help with……
Please note, due to the nature of electronic devices the actual colours of goods may vary. This is due to computers, phones, pads and monitors displaying colours differently and everyone can see these colours differently. We try extremely hard to ensure our photos are as life-like as possible, but please understand the actual colour may vary slightly .
Autumn Baby Prepping…..
The latest Sleep Sack in my Dizzy Tyke Designs Range has arrived.
The Ockeridge Sleep Sack, is knitted sideways, with an eye-catching cable design thats effective but not 
over complicated to produce.
Knitted on 8 mm (US 11)needles and Super Chunky Weight yarn, it will grow quickly.
Knitted in one piece it has just a small seam across the top of the hood, so no complicated seam matching or picking up stitches.
Sample is Red Chunky Unbranded Pure British Yarn (from my last foray at Wonderwool Wales) and lined with cotton fabric ( from Oh Sew Crafty ).
It comes in 5 sizes to fit from New Born to approx 2 years,
finished sizes widths from 13” to 21”,total length 27” to 37”.
Its available for immediate download on Ravelry, Love Knitting and Etsy.
If your happy for a short delay in receiving your copy but saving on cost it can be bought direct from my my web site and I’ll email you the PDF.
I’ll soon be opening a shop on NuMonday so watch out for opening offers.
Keep in touch with updates on Twitter and Instagram.
Happy Knitting.
