A Day Out Walking
These two tone outdoor essentials, hat, gloves and socks use British Sheep Breeds wool with a vibrant contrast yarn. The socks are designed with the textured open twisted rib pattern above the top of the boot with smooth stocking stitch lower down for comfort. The hat has a striking cross stitch detail and the gloves keep your hands warm but fingers free for doing up those laces. All three items are knitted in the round on double pointed needles.
