The designs in this collection, Restorative Knits, are my kind of knits ~ muted colors, soothing stitch patterns and comforting yarns.

Caressed

My favorite of the collection, Caressed is a soft cuddly poncho featuring an original stranded border design. It is worked from the top down using merino and silk mohair held together. Colorwork is charted only.Written in four sizes, the pattern is suitable for worsted or aran weight yarns that will produce a similar gauge; just be sure to adjust your yarn requirements accordingly when making substitutions.
