Walking along the shore of the Long Island Sound on a cloudless winter day is one of my little joys. The shoreline here is full of rocks, pebbles, boulders and abandoned shells, and together with the quiet, gives the beach a rugged, primordial feel.

A Collection of Smooth Stones contains patterns for a slightly slouch hat and a pair of matching fingerless and gusset-less mitts, perfect for that winter stroll.
