This whimsical draught excluder will help to ward off the cold by turning even the chilliest of rooms into a warm haven. This pattern is a great way to experiment with colour and an ideal project for stash busting. The fairisle pattern makes for wonderfully addictive knitting. This simple project is a perfect introduction into stranded colourwork as there is no shaping and the DK yarn knits up quickly. We can’t wait to see your version!
