The house on my farm was originally built in 1740. It is nearly 300 years old! There are many original features we are honoring as we renovate and bring the home to modern living.

This pattern highlights the textures I see and feel around my farm. I hope as you knit this pattern, you can get a glimpse of all the sights and sounds and even smells you might encounter on my farm.

I originally created this design in my Super Bulky Single Yarn with a US#19 needle for quick holiday knitting. Castle Cowl

Castle Cap is a beanie style hat that covers the ears or is slouchy when above the ears. It is a relaxed fit and is comfortable enough to wear all day. Designed with my hand dyed Squish Worsted, but any worsted yarn will work. There should be enough yarn left over to make a matching pair of Castle Cuffs.

This pattern was designed to be made with my hand-dyed “Squish Worsted”, but it works equally well with any worsted weight yarn.

This pattern was designed to be made with my hand-dyed “Super Soft Super Bulky Single”, but it works equally well with Malabrigo super bulky yarns (Rasta & Caracol) AND handspun.
