Description

This stunning Fair Isle knitting pattern makes a cozy cowl, a chic hat, and a pair of snug wristwarmers in our DK weight yarn Lore. Designed by Mary Henderson, this vibrant set draws inspiration from her own garden, featuring both large and small flower motifs. Mary's pattern incorporates the stranded colorwork technique, ensuring that your creations will be as warm as they are visually striking. The hat is topped with a charming snowflake motif in dark green, appealing to those who appreciate the finer details in their winter attire.

Lore is a plump woollen-spun yarn with subtle heathered shades that bloom beautifully after washing, making it a perfect yarn for colorwork. ‘’It feels woolly yet soft in the hand, and creates a warming fabric with distinct stitches… the palette is so versatile, ranging from earthy neutrals to deep, rich hues,’’ as reviewed by The Knitter in issue 132.
