Handmade Store: PetiteTuques

At Petite Tuques you will find hand knitted items and patterns. I use wool and cotton and every item can be customized for child sizes. My hats can used as photo props as well as stylish everyday wear!

Recent Press: My product was reviewed on Daytime with Susan Cook-Scheerer, courtesy of Bass Giraffe.com www.youtu.be/V10nRa6MiLk

New products: My patterns are now on iCraft!

I am a mother of two small boys, and they help a lot in the process, from trying on and modeling the hats, to picking up the bits of yarn and playing with the "snakes"...

I'm located in the Eastern Townships of Quebec "La Belle Province", so I know all about cold weather.

So come and browse the shop. If you have suggestions, I'll be happy to listen!
