Cairn

£3.75

Cairn is also available as part of the collection Whimsical Little Knits

Stay cozy in this stylish and practical beanie and fingerless mitts set worked in two colours. The interesting textured stitch pattern helps to keep you warm and is simply achieved with slip stitches – meaning that you’re only ever working with a single colour per round.

The hat is given in four sizes, and the mitts in three so you can be sure of a perfect fit. The beanie is slightly long, perfect for pulling down over chilly ears or slouching further back on the head for slightly warmer days where fashion wins out over warmth.

Available to purchase through Ravelry, payment by Paypal. You don’t need an account with either but if you do have a Ravelry account you’ll be able to store your pdf in your library.
