Springs in New Zealand are moody, with chilly mornings or evenings and beautiful warm days.

Hug Me is a all about being cozy and warm without carrying a heavy scarf or wrap! Drape it over your shoulders or wear it as a scarf!

The main body is worked in half fisherman rib, an easier alternative to brioche knitting. Use of larger needles and mohair added to a rustic 4ply will give an airy and lofty feel and texture.

Being worked in the bias from the smaller tip, it is easy to adjust the size to your liking or yardage available.

Measurements are given both in centimetres and inches.
