This project was born of the love of my family’s Scandinavian heritage and my son’s request for a moose or reindeer hat. My maternal grandfather’s name was also Lyle, and he would heartily approve of this hat.

This cowl was developed after seeing the beautiful new Dos Tierras yarn from Malabrigo. I loved the rich varigated colors that just begged to be knit into a project with a textured pattern. This project uses nearly all of two skeins.

This project is a skirt comprised of modular mitered squares. The cover photo shows a size medium, which consists of approximately two and a half 100g skeins of the main color and about three-quarters of a 100g skein of the contrasting color.
