Who is W?

Winsome. Wise. Worldly. We don’t know her name, which makes her decidedly mysterious. Or perhaps insecure? No, impossible, with such a lovely frame.

She’s the perfect size to keep a big secret, (or two little ones). Somehow she crosses the boundaries of class distinctions and attracts attention of the highest sort. At home in the casinos of Monte Carlo, or in an English manse, she is just as likely to be found at a bonfire or on a stroll along the shoreline.

What is her secret? She won’t tell.

Pattern Difficulty

Intrepid Easy: Requires knowledge of casting on, knitting and purling, picking up stitches in knitted fabric, increasing and decreasing, knitting in the round on circular needles, and some hand-sewing during the finishing process.

Gauge

Pre-felted gauge: 20 stitches and 28 rounds = 4” (10cm) in St st with a single strand of worsted weight yarn
