So much fun to knit!
Summertime is the perfect time to work up weightless woolen spun accessories, ready to give as gifts or carry off to college in the fall. This youthful toque and single loop cowl are made extra special by wavy, sea-inspired lines moving sinuously over the fabric’s surface. Easy to memorize and fun to knit, this lightweight hat and cowl makes perfect cottage, beach or poolside knitting and works up in no time. Brooklyn Tweed’s Loft gives Earl Gray its supreme lightness and rustic texture.
Jazz Up Neutral Outerwear
As a Canadian girl, I recognize the beauty of vibrant accessories that jazz up neutral outerwear. Make a few to keep things interesting! As a born-again Southerner, I’ve learned that a hat and cowl might be all you need on a winter’s day. Combine a set with a plain sweater or long-sleeved tee and off you go! The Earl Gray lightweight hat and cowl set is a great combo to tie together any outfit. Both are worked in the round from the bottom up in an all-American Targhee-Columbia wool yarn.
