Thanks so much to my test knitters and to my tech editor, Cassandra Caiado. xo

There is just something about the combo of linen stitch and tweed that is so magical. The raw edges and woven look of this piece evokes images of a warm hearth and a rocking chair on a stormy evening.

This simple shoulder cozy is snug, warm and is ideal to wear under a winter coat. It knits up quickly and easily and also makes an impressive gift. It also makes a great meditative travel project.

Hearthflame is made from the top-down, seamlessly in the round with invisible increases. Choose from a “raw” or ribbed edge. There are four sizes.
