This versatile accessory combines a truly luxurious blend of Merino wool, fine kid Mohair, and Silk. Its simple sequence pattern gives it beautiful texture without being complicated or difficult to remember. Choose your favorite colorway on Fern, layer it with a gorgeous fog of Gossamer, and marl away! This pattern is inspired by the work of Cecelia Campochiaro in her groundbreaking book Sequence Knitting, published by Chroma Opaci Books, 2015. I highly recommend getting this book and exploring the fascinating world of combining simple knit and purl stitches to create complex and beautiful fabrics.
