Hand Me Down

Made with Hands Accessories

The last time you received a round of applause for making something yourself, you had just been successfully potty trained.

Since then, you’ve left the work to others — like Made with Hands, a brilliant source for handmade knits, crochet and felt.

Designed and made by East London twins Calliste and Carissa Yeboah, the collection includes striking woven bobble necklaces, skinny woollen ties, chunky crochet hats and headbands, funky mohair beanies, felt place mats and multipurpose floral carry-bags. Each item is available in a choice of summer-bright colours; some serve lads as well as ladies.

Can’t resist pulling the wool over people’s eyes? When they ask where you got it, just tell them it was Made with Hands.

No need to specify whose.

Available at No-one, 1 Kingsland Road, E2 8AA (020 7613 5314). To see styles and order by e-mail, go to madewithhands.co.uk.
