Bassenfell Pattern

Description

The meditative power of the garter stitch is applied here to give a classic, rustic feel while a modern update is offered with columns of cluster stitches flowing from the top edge. Long enough to knot around your neck on cold days but pretty enough to drape and make a statement when safe from the wind and rain. A video tutorial is available for the I-cord cast on.

This pattern is also available in two kits that include the PDF pattern and The Fibre Co. yarn. View the Bassenfell kit in Cumbria Fingering or the Bassenfell kit in Luma.
