About

Hello and Welcome. 🤍
I'm Rachel, a proud Mama to Ruby, Billy & Joey. I live on the south coast in Christchurch, Dorset. I love knitting and creating beautiful knitwear and gifts for little people and Mamas too.
Little Mole is predominantly a baby gift business and was inspired by me becoming a mum to my three children back in 2007.
All I ever wanted to be was a "Mum." Becoming a mum has just been the most wonderful gift and experience. There is nothing more precious than new life.
🤍
When my babies were born, I loved to receive a hand knitted outfit or a gift with their name on. I found gifts like this so special and I knew I would treasure them forever, so I started making them for friends and family and soon people were asking to buy them from me.
🤍
For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed crafting. I started making personalised, hand painted wooden keepsakes when my first two children, (Ruby & Billy) were little and I learnt to knit when I was eight, with the help and guidance of my beloved Granny. I loved to knit simple squares and scarves with her, but it was when my third child, Joey was born, that I really learnt to knit and which brought about the creation of 'little mole.'
🤍
Our surname is 'Mole' so the name 'little mole' just seemed so perfect!
🤍
Little Mole is forever evolving, especially as my babies are starting to spread their own wings. I also create a gorgeous selection of super chunky knits for Mamas. These are either made to order or one off pieces for you to choose from, There is a beautiful choice of colours available to suit your own unique style.
🤍
I use a blend of merino, cashmere & silk wool for my baby knitwear and 100% pure merino wool for my baby blankets & Mama Mole designs. They’re so kind and soft to babies’ delicate skin and they’re both breathable and sustainable.
🤍
Knitting and creating is so therapeutic and it simply makes me happy. I hope you like my creations. Please do get in touch if you would like to know more, request a bespoke item or place an order.
