We fell in love with the tweed stitch pattern for a couple of reasons – one it’s a deceptively easy pattern to learn and secondly it looks like complicated color work when in fact you are only using one color at a time. There is also a decorative seam that goes through middle, just to keep things interesting. It is easy to change the look of the boot toppers by wearing them with the black or white ribbing showing. The tweed stitch looks great in many different forms, so we just couldn’t stop at designing boot toppers we had to add a hat and fingerless gloves to the collection. You will custom design the fit by taking your measurements, creating a gauge swatch and then calculating how many stitches to cast on. If this sounds intimidating, don’t worry we help you every step of the way.
