Cover from the Sky is the perfect way to stay cosy on a dull winters day. Bright solid hues will brighten up your mood and the soft squidgy garter stitch will keep you warm as toast.
Simply constructed using slip stitches, eyelets and plain banding and not a single purl stitch in sight. Suitable for a confident beginner, but with plenty of fun knitting to keep the interest of the more seasoned maker.

The name was inspired by one of my very favourite songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E2A6aRAWro
