Gateway to Rustic is a great introduction to colour work, thanks to the simple, repetitive pattern - no counting or charts required.

It’s also a good skill-builder for those who haven’t tried a Provisional Cast On or 3-Needle Bind Off before.

As the name implies, this pattern serves as a gentle introduction to more rustic yarns, especially for those who love working with softer hand-dyed superwash yarns. This is a great way to test-drive woolier, less processed yarns and discover their unique and intriguing properties. Before you know it, you’ll be chatting breed-specific qualities while you dash off stranded mittens and yokes!
