English gardens find beauty in mixing order with chaos. The lines of a freshly-mown lawn contrast with the erratic bloom of heirloom roses, singing of perfect bright days, optimistic smells and the safety to run wild, but safe, within defined boundaries. The Cut Grass Halter captures that order and chaos in a light, engaging summer knit with lines, lace and texture. The closure is a small button with a keyhole opening on the back. Of course, it comes in many sizes. A joy to knit. A joy to wear!
