Myrna takes advantage of Bugga!’s soft hand to create a simple set that emphasizes the luxury of a cashmere blend. The smooth stockinette of the gloves makes a great showcase for a handpainted yarn. The cowl is knit with stripes of textured lace that create a charming accordion fold when the button tab is fastened. Paired, this set finishes an outfit perfectly. Choose a soft and stretchy sportweight yarn for a satisfying result. The pattern works well with solid and variegated yarns alike, making it a great stashbuster. Pick your favorite buttons for an extra touch of fun.
