Personal Statement

The Johnny Skein Mission is simple - it takes the same amount of time to knit with high quality yarns as it does with cheap yarn - so always knit with the best that you can afford.

Jessica Beret



The Jessica was originally designed for The Stitch Red Heart Disease Campaign.  Even though the campaign's focus was women and heart desease - having undergone a 5 bypass myself - this campaign had meaning for me.  

I jumped into the campaign late in the game...but wanted to contribute - so I designed a beret that was published quickly and packaged this up with the Red Yarn that I designed it with.  Throughout the remainder of this heart campaign - Johnny Skein donated a portion of the proceeds to the Heart Foundation.  Once the campaign closed - I wanted to rename this design for continued use - and named it after a close friend.  With the rebirth of the Jessica! 

The Jessica Kit uses Harrisville Highland yarn.  Spun tightly, it will retain it’s shape and structure for years to come.

“The Jessica Beret was designed with as much simplicity without it becoming square…”  Johnny Skein
