Yarn weight: About 15g of each colour

Wool is such a wonderful material to work with so I’ve put that sheepy goodness into this design! This pattern contains a couple of different colourways; Tormentil/Mermaid, Juniper Heath/Fawn and Puffin!! Quite the stash-buster, it doesn’t take too much wool to make up and it is a really quick knit! This motif is very symmetrical so it is easy to follow and a bit addictive!

Wool yarn used is a 4ply/sport weight/fingering weight. I love the Jamieson’s 2ply Spindrift (works as a traditional 4ply) in Mermaid as well as the gorgeous Uradale Tormentil colour which really spices up the pattern and will definitely get you noticed! This pattern also works well with any high contrast colour choices. This pattern has been test-knitted, and having knitted up a few samples myself, I know how cosy and warm it feels and looks. If you need any help with the pattern feel free to DM me.
