This pattern was inspired by Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”. The poem conjures such a lovely image of the hushed sound of a wintery forest with the snow falling gently, and only the horse with its bells making any sound. Deep winter magic! With only two colours it’s an easy knit, while the very varied pattern will keep the knitter engaged!
