A knitted gift does what most gifts can't: it gets used daily and then kept. Every piece in this collection is knitted from natural fibres in our family studio in Dvorje near Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Slovenia — a gift with a real origin, not an anonymous one.
For births and christenings, the classic choice is a personalised baby blanket with the child's name or initials. For adults and the home, our personalised home blankets and merino throws make gifts that stay in the living room for years.
FAQs
What is a good knitted gift for a newborn?
The most lasting choice is a baby blanket with the child's name or initials — used daily in the first years, kept as a keepsake afterwards. A knitted set or a merino cardigan-and-hat pairing is the classic alternative when you want something wearable.
What knitted gift suits an adult?
A merino wool blanket for the home is the safest adult gift from the Jakopina studio — no size to guess, used year-round, and it can be personalised with initials. A cashmere-blend hat is the choice when you want something small but genuinely luxurious.
Can Jakopina gifts be personalised?
Yes — Jakopina blankets, both baby blankets and home blankets, can be made to order with a name or initials. Personalised pieces are knitted to order in Slovenia, so check the production time on the product page when buying for a fixed date.
I don't know the child's size — what should I choose?
Choose a blanket: it has no size to outgrow and is used from day one. If you prefer clothing, each Jakopina product page lists exact measurements, and knitwear stretches — so a slightly larger piece simply gets worn longer.
Where do Jakopina gifts come from?
Every Jakopina piece is knitted in a family studio in Dvorje near Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Slovenia, where the craft has been passed down since 1926. Small batches, natural fibres — a gift whose story is part of the gift.
