Winter has finally arrived and C Percy Designs is very proud to release their girls Winter range, which co-ordinates beautifully with this season colours and styles. C Percy Designs has been making boutique beanies since 2009. Christine, the creative hands and pattern designer behind C Percy Designs, loves the meditative state that crocheting brings and the fact that she can tap into her creative side while
making stylish children’s outerwear.
Christine was taught to crochet by her mother when she was 6 years old. This tradition of teaching crochet to the next generation can be traced back to Ireland in the heyday of Queen Victoria and the boom, in what is now known as traditional Irish crochet. Inspiration for her beanie designs come from many places but primarily from her children, in particular her daughter. Her latest collection has been inspired by a small collection of vintage doilies and black and white photos of 1930s and 40s crocheted outerwear.
- You can find all of these gorgeous designs online at the C Percy Designs website.

Oh, such a hard choice. Will stick with simple and say the Slouchy & Cowl .. and perhaps in a grey, or, for Madamsky, a pink .. perhaps a dusty dusky one? Divine. As are your models! And the photography.
The Alexis Rainbow beanie is our favourite, in cream with pink and purple stripes.
I really love the brown slouchy and cowl – perfect colour for this time of year!
PS Still loving the Barbie dress we got from you at the Billycart MArkets

I’d love to see the ‘read all about it’ cap made in purple!
We love the striped beanie – in exactly the colours that are shown on the webpage – red, pink and white. I would love one for my two year old daughter who has just acquired a baby sister. Her little sister has received some beautiful crocheted hats and blankets from some crafty aunties and Miss Z would be very excited to have one too
The Ashleigh Beanie with Doily Scarf in baby pink would be my pick
