Limited time offer….put three or more patterns in your cart for an automatic 25% discount off the total. No coupon code required.

Equinox is a balance of light and dark to an almost equal degree making it a striking statement of colour balance.

The Mosaic technique makes it simple to knit with only knitting one colour per round. If you are new to Mosaic this pattern is a great starting point. For those with more experience it is a fun and relaxing knit with quick results.

There are two sizes to choose from and Equinox is a great way to use up stash yarn, or give you an excuse to visit your LYS.

Measurements after gentle blocking:
#1. Height = 25.5 cm/ 10”. Neck opening = 28 cm/22” stretches to 69 cm/27”. Bottom edge = 81 cm/32”
