Description
This charming design was created in collaboration with Shepherd’s Hill Farm to celebrate sourcing local fibre. The delightful set includes a deep cowl, beanie and fingerless gloves with an undulating design made up of lace and cables. It uses Shepherd’s Hill Farm sock yarn.
This textured stitch is easy to do, but challenging enough to keep your interest. An optional crocheted (or embroidered) detail is worked around the edges in a contrasting colour.
This trio is knit with a fingering weight yarn. The entire set can be done with two skeins of yarn from Shepherd’s Hill Farm. The cowl and gloves have two sizes, the hat has one size and there are no visible seams.
