Valley Yarns Designer Series presents Adenium, a matching hat-and-cowl set that’s perfect for keeping you warm all winter long. Knit using Amherst, a twisting pretzel-like cable, combined with garter stitch, creates the focal point of this set. Adenium makes excellent gifts for all your favorite people! The cowl is knit flat, and the short ends joined together, and the hat is knit from the bottom up in the round. Valley Yarns Amherst is a smooth worsted weight yarn that shows texture and stitch patterns beautifully and has a wide range of colors that are perfect for these projects. The cable patterns are charted and written out.
