About Katrinkles
“As an independent, female owned and operated business (in Providence, Rhode Island), Katrinkles is proud to provide crafters with high quality buttons and tools for their projects. Our goods are made from durable locally sourced hardwoods like cherry and alder and are finished by hand, giving each piece its unique character. From design to production to packaging, all our products are made in house by our small dedicated team, allowing us to maintain our high standards of quality control and attention to detail at every step. You can feel confident that when you use a tool from Katrinkles, you are using something made with the same level of care that you put into the things you make.
We encourage makers everywhere to be creative by supplying them with unique goods that enhance the joy of making. We are crafters and artisans ourselves, so we know that the right tool can be an inspiration. A thoughtfully designed, well crafted tool facilitates workflow and can reveal new creative pathways. Simply put, our goal is to provide you with the best tools so that you can do your best work.
We use sustainable woods whenever possible, and try to source our materials locally. Katrinkles knitting needle gauges and tools are made of 1/8" woods such as bamboo and birch plywood and cherry hardwood.
Each Katrinkles item has been hand-sanded to smooth out any rough corners and washed to remove any residue from laser cutting. Because bamboo and wood are natural materials each item may vary slightly.” – quoted from Katrinkles 'About Us' page

BACK IN STOCK…
Slip this birch wood ruler right into your sock while it is still on the needles to easily gauge when to start the toe (or the gusset/heel if you are knitting toe-up socks). With inches, centimeters, US Men/Women, and Euro shoe sizes etched right on, you'll always get a perfect fit!
Once you're knitting your socks you can use the inch/cm ruler to measure the height of your cuff for either toe up or top down socks. You can stick the ruler into top down socks, with the zero edge up against the heel of the sock, to measure what shoe size or inch/cm measurement you're approaching in your knitting. If you're knitting toe up socks you can hold the sock up against the ruler to measure the shoe size or inch/cm measurement.
$34.98 each.
BACK IN STOCK…
These Double Pointed Needle (DPN) holders from Katrinkles use thick, durable elastic and wide rubber caps so that any thickness of knitting needle or project fit into them. The elastic stretches to fit over the ends of your needles without putting pressure on them, protecting the tips from catching on whatever else you're carrying around. And if your ‘work is in progress’ (WIP) the caps will keep the stitches from falling of the ends of the needles.
Available in 3 sizes and colour coded according to size.
- The red 5" DPN holder is made for the short sock needles.
- The blue 6" DPN holder is what most needles fit into. These hold sleeve or hat knitting needles.
- The yellow 7" DPN holders are the largest size.
- $8.98 each
BRAND NEW…

HAT PATTERN…
Here is one of Judy’s newly discovered & a fast favourite hat pattern - Musselburgh! And here’s why…
- This is a ‘MULTI GAUGE’ hat!! The pattern offers multiple gauges for use with a wide variety of weights of yarn.
- It’s a ‘one pattern fits all’ hat!! The pattern offers multiple finished sizes to fit baby up to Adult XL.
- It’s double lined for extra warmth!! Knit in the round from crown to crown.
- The pattern is very well written and very versatile! It gives yardage and metres for each gauge and each size…taking the stress out of estimating/guessing if we have enough yarn to complete it.

Musselburgh is a double-layered, reversible beanie with 4-point crown shaping. This multi-gauge pattern now includes 9 gauges and 6 sizes.
Can be worn as a cap with folded brim (shown above) or worn as a toque with no brim (shown below).
© Ysolda Teague
Musselburgh is a reversible hat worked from the crown of one side, through the brim, and to the crown of the other, so that the whole doubled hat is worked in the round in one piece.
This simple canvas is perfect for exploring your creativity through yarn choice, stripes or colour blocking, verigated or self-pattering. The hat is fully reversible, so working each half in a different colour or stripe sequence can turn it into two completely different hats in one.
If you’re feeling brave, you can even play with fairisle patterning like Annie did, shown below.
Are you an adventurous beginner looking to grow your skills? Use the pattern to learn how to knit a hat from the top-down; clear directions and linked tutorials are included.
& on display at the store.
Sizes: to fit baby up to Adult XL; inches/cm references are included for all sizes
Yardages: pattern gives yds/mtrs per size & gauge = no guess work!
Gauges: includes directions for gauges of 9, 8.5, 8, 7.5, 7, 6.5, 6, 5.5 and 5 stitches per inch.
Needle Size will depend on your yarn choice and recommended needle sizes are included in the pattern.
Pattern: we can purchase this pattern on your behalf for approx. $10.35 CDN and have it emailed to your inbox. There are three versions of this pattern pdf available – print (3 columns), mobile, and low vision.
We have listed a few yarn suggestions below in three different weights - tap on the name of each yarn to view product details, shade cards and availability.
