Tundra combines garter stitch and entrelac to create a dense, cozy fabric. Oversized earflaps, shaped in entrelac, add warmth and style. Tundra is a perfect pattern for a variegated yarn; the relative simplicity of the garter stitch texture shows off a beautiful colorway.

(Experience with entrelac recommended.)
