Lovingly knitted children's hats & gifts, (Baby to 11 years) designed & handmade in New York, U.S.A. www.hothead.ie
Hi everyone! Yes I know it’s been a ridiculously long time! About 2 years ago, I decided to try my hand at Knitwear Design. It’s been a whirlwind of hard work and fun! I’ve had several of my designs published in well known knitting magazines and publications, and I also sell my patterns on my website
http://www.jstknitweardesigns.com
I’d like to thank you all for your amazing support over the years with HotHead, and if you’d like to see what I’ve been up to for the past couple of years, please pop over and check out my FB designs page JSTDesigns Jen 🤗
Wow it's been a while!! Sorry for the long hush, but we've moved 2 countries in the last year! We are now settling back into life in Dublin, Ireland. So your favourite Irish kids knitwear is being knit on your doorstep again👍 and you're still in love my first ever designs. This lot left for Amsterdam this morning 🤗 We haven't quite updated everything yet, so bear with us, but orders can still be placed on www.HotHead.ie
Hope you are all keeping well out there 😊

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
To celebrate St. Patrick's Day ☘️ this week, I am giving away my latest pattern, Loingseach, FREE (link below). It's a reversible two tone Fisherman's rib cowl, and it's name has an interesting story. I was researching my mothers’ ancient Galway name of Lynskey, and found that it was derived from the Gaelic word Loingseach, meaning Mariner. The fact that I happen to love the sea 🌊 and rib patterns, and Fisherman’s Rib in particular, meant I had to make this loop scarf/cowl/snood to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
The design is knit with two colours in the round, but gives you fabulous vertical stripes, completely reversible. The result is a brioche fabric look, but with half the work. It's knit in a fabulous Studio Donegal Aran Tweed that I picked up in the charming The Donegal Shop in Dublin last week! Enjoy and Happy St. Patrick's Day :) ☘️❤☘️ ❤☘️❤

Just going through old photos, and this one particularly resonates with me! First time at the RDS National Crafts & Design Fair in 2012. We had such great fun Christina Sanne of Red Rufus SockDogs. Great memories :)
We are all set and are very excited about the next 5 days at the National Crafts & Design Fair in the RDS. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Here's a sneak shot of HotHead and Red Rufus SockDogs as they left them all sleeping tonight ;)
If you are at the Larchmont Farmer's Market this morning, look for for Madison Kitchen Larchmont's Nick Di Bona's fabulous Ice cream! He might just be donning one of HotHead's latest creations :)
