Soothing ripples …
Some days you just want to curl up with your knitting and a good cuppa - easing into relaxation mode with a simple project that lets your mind wander.
Soothing stitches - the simple increases and decreases in this hat dance together to create this appealing pattern that is really easy to knit but produces a gorgeous knitted fabric.
Inspired by Blue Lady tea from Pekoe Tea in Edinburgh
“Blue Lady Tea is a black tea blended with petals of mallow and marigold flowers and flavoured with grapefruit.”
