Cairn

£3

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.

Notes

This pattern is a pdf file, which you will be able to download once your payment is complete. All payments are processed by paypal but if you don’t have a paypal account you can use your credit card to make a payment without needing to set one up. If you use a paypal account without funds in it that is not associated with a credit card paypal will process your payment with an echeque, which means there is a delay of several days while the payment is transferred from your bank account. I don’t mind accepting this type of payment, but please be aware that you can avoid the delay by paying with a credit card.
